I used to build rockets as a kid.

I recently got the bug again and ordered a few rockets and an "educator's pack" of engines (24) online. I didn't want them to go too high (I lost most of my rockets in my youth because they blew away), so i just bought A's, but B's, C's and D's were available.

I don't know if I'll have them by the 4th though. UPS will no longer deliver "hazardous materials", according to the online hobby shop, so they went "3rd class hazardous" USPS mail.

The package is trackable, but there's no ETD. The USPS could learn a lot from UPS and Fedex...
