I thought we had plenty of Alumbrite, and so I joked about bringing elbow
grease instead.
I didn't order the alúmbrate. I ve got plenty of elbow grease and a good
pair of gloves though.
I would've liked to bring something more. Next time I guess.
See ya'll tomorrow,

CHECKLIST
/* snip */
Trailer
- Empty out, sweep, use compressed air to clean it
- Open up all tables and put boxes on it
- Open boxes and make sure all is sorted properly and matches label
- Clean out trash
- Take out launch system
- Wire all launch system - check batteries and relay
Launch Gear
- The Portapotties - James will have them cleaned, not needed this year.
- The tires on the carts & dollys need to be patched, inflated, and foamed
- Pack Everything in the right box
- Put back in Trailer
Launch Rods/Rails
- All of the rods, pads and rails need to have a bath in :
#1 - White Vinegar - scrub as needed with a scrub-brush
#2 - Alumibrite - spray on, let it sit
#3 - pressure wash (2000 psi or more)
Follow up with grease/WD40 for all threads/rods/fittings, etc
This one takes the most time and where we can really use all the extra
help - anyone who has seen our hardware knows we like everything
squeaky clean.
Launch system
- We need to charge all the batteries.
- We will review the Igniter leads, replace all of the
- ones which are bad.
