When's day?

 Sorry, I meant Wednesday. Day is starting to take place right now, as I write.

Though it is raining in the Nui.

TC is now back in Wellington. I'm going to catch up with him on Sunday. I'll take a bottle of his favourite wine.

Saturday I have a practice with two of my siblings. My daughter in law is also having a morning celebration of her birthday at a cafe with a playground. That's because a good mate of mine, Harrison, can't sit still for long. His brother, Henry, will be there too. Henry usually does a lot of smiling, but he's not a talker. Well, he is only seven months old. Give him a break! On Monday I have a practice with a guy I know well for a couple of gigs. I'll have to take my double bass for this one.

I'm a bit behind on my practice, mainly because I've been a bit unwell. In today's post Rob quotes a guy called Luke who tells us, "To everyone who has will be given more, but from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away". Robert clarifies the situation by telling us this. "The man who practises his violin is going to get more talent; and the lazy man who doesn't practise his cello will lose his skills." I would have thought that is pretty bloody obvious. Actually, I don't like the word 'talent'. Anyone who practises the right things on a violin, or a cello, will get better. Yes, I said anyone. It's all about listening and practising long bows and playing in tune. Then you regularly repeat little bits that you want to get better at. It's not rocket science.

Rocket Fundamentals

Four forces on a rocket, rocket thrust, rocket weight, rocket aerodynamics.

Rocket Motion

Rocket modeler simulation, basic rocket motion, rocket translations, free fall (weight - no drag), determine maximum altitude... interactive, altitude equation deprivation, graphical maximum altitude, effects of weather cocking.

If you want to know more about rocket science, you can look up those points, for a starter. There are more.

Okay, I'm off to work.

Enjoy your when's day.

Ciao.
