Brief

After t' second launch o' me Estes Firestorm, me hearties, t' rocket became tangled in a tree upon descent. Ya scallywag! Because t' tree was on t' edge o' a clearin' and was hangin' from a small branch, ya bilge rat, I attempted t' get it back. Blimey! 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. Begad! Eventually t' shock cord gave way, me bucko, arrr, causin' t' body tube and fin can t' drop. Avast, me proud beauty! While t' body be rotted from several summer storms, t' fin can and launch lug were intact. T' nosecone, however, arrr, ya bilge rat, was still stuck as t' parachute be firmly wound around t' branch. Ya scallywag! Arrr! One day I headed over and began tossin' sticks up at it, arrr, finally gettin' lucky and snappin' t' branch.
