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