It snowed here again last night but it is mostly getting warmer. Just like 1 inch.

So here's why I named this craft The Snow Miser:

I sure hope it snows again in April.

There is and it is going to snow today because I took my snow tires off but life is pulling me away for a week. The forecast indicates warming next week so I doubt any that's on the ground will be left. Here's hoping.

The way the weather has been going the past few years, you should probably leave those snow tires on, or get a 4WD.

Typically I do but I'm in Texas today. Snow tires don't do well with towing and warm temps. Got to watch Spring in fast forward like traveling through a time warp.

Brought the widemouth. We'll see what happens.

Why did you bring the launcher? Visiting somebody?

Cause water rockets are really boring without a launcher.

So you are staying there or just a road trip. I don't bring water rockets everywhere I go.

There's a lot of big flat areas down there with no trees or hills or anything! That's real water rocket country!

How did it go?

Had a great time! Introduced The Texas Express to a man (my uncle) who only knew of the toy water rockets that went 30 feet. His reaction was priceless. I'll try to get that posted.

We actually went to East Texas where there are just as many trees, and they are bigger than they are here. They have pastures instead of crops so that works out better.

Please post that reaction. That would be awesome.

I will probably get back into rockets during the summer more. School has me backed up.
