..in a bottle rocket contest on Saturday :lol3

Here's my entry, over which I have worked non-stop for all of two hours. It's a cola bottle with pizza-box fins and nose cone

This is going to be fun. And weird because it's mid-winter, we are holding the contest on the sea ice with freezing temperatures and snow on the forecast :thumb

There's going to be a sauna to warm up in afterwards, so we're not completely :crazy

I'll post some pictures from the race on Sunday

Creativity's hard.

First you lunch, then you launch. Such a keen way to recycle!

Best of luck on a good, long flight.
