Time: 4:13 pm, Temperature: 48 degrees. Wind blowin' light from t' west. Partly cloudy. Tested infrared thermometer t' measure temperature o' rocket exhaust. Didn't work. Good launch. Visible throughout - low flight. Parachute deployed as rocket descended. Blimey! Didn't open for a moment, me hearties, but then opened successfully. Daniel almost caught it about 35 yards south-southwest o' t' launch site. No damage.
