Brief

After t' second launch o' me Estes Firestorm, t' rocket became tangled in a tree upon descent. Begad! Because t' tree be on t' edge o' a clearin' and was hangin' from a small branch, me bucko, I attempted t' get it back. Avast, me proud beauty! This spanned a few weeks and involved everythin' from tryin' t' snag it with an extendable lightbulb-installin' pole t' attemptin' t' hook it with a fishin' rod. Blimey! Eventually t' shock cord gave way, causin' t' body tube and fin can t' drop. Begad! While t' body was rotted from several summer storms, matey, matey, t' fin can and launch lug were intact. Aye aye! T' nosecone, matey, however, arrr, was still stuck as t' parachute be firmly wound around t' branch. Well, blow me down! Arrr! One day I headed over and began tossin' sticks up at it, finally gettin' lucky and snappin' t' branch.
