Yes...I sure did retire at just the right time!!!
I am putting the finishing touches on an Aerotech Astrobee D rocket, after
finishing my Madcow Jayhawk.
Gee....what should be next?

Hey folks,
I'd like to leave everyone with one final thought for the day, from a
colleague I receive this morning:
*During the Great Plague of London in 1665-1666, the University of
Cambridge closed for a few months. A young undergraduate named Isaac Newton
engaged in social distancing and retired to the family home a hundred
kilometers to the north. There he continued working, and subsequently
discovered the calculus,the theory of gravitation, and the spectral nature
of light among many other things.*
So stay focused on your work, build rockets, and use this time to do some
good for the world.
best regards
-James

Vito posted something today on FB that really brings it home:
Our parents or grandparents were asked to go to World War, many of them
never returned.
We're being asked to stay home, avoid social gatherings, and watch
Netflix.
Really brings it home doesn't it?
Anyhow, people need to take this seriously so that we can curb the growth
of this thing and squash the peaks.
So build your favorite rocket and focus on your family...
After that, it's time to fly rockets!

I figured this would be coming, at least for the next launch we’re in the
clear since it’s the cleaning party. Hopefully this is done ✅ with by May.
So we can have Dairy Aire. If not we will just have to stay put, and wait
it out.

Precautions
Okay, here it is:
Tripoli Rocketry Association has been closely monitoring the COVID-19
situation.
The White House and the CDC has recommended that all gatherings be limited
to 10 people or less. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/
wp-content/uploads/2020/03/03.16.20_coronavirus-guidance_8.5x11_315PM.pdf)
In order to protect our members, their families and guests at launches,
and do our part to stem the spread of the virus, the TRA board of directors
have taken the following actions.
All TRA sanctioned launches, meetings, or other gatherings *shall be
canceled* for a minimum of 15 days, starting March 18, 2020
We will continue to monitor the situation.
Please stay safe and healthy
Tripoli Board of Directors
