Default First launch rituals?
I am curious to see if you guys have rituals you do when you do the first launch of the season. We are in the process of naming ours right now. Thanks!

    ^^ I've witnessed the outcome of someone not installing the drain plug. He's lucky he made it back to the ramp.

    I always make sure to have a cooler well stocked with adult beverages, and a full tank of fresh fuel for the ol girl.
