Making Rockets

I made rockets.  I used; one paper match, aluminum foil, and two pins or sewing needles.  To make a rocket you must, remove a single match from the matchbox, cut a piece of foil slightly less than 1 inch squared.  Place the foil on a flat surface.  Next, place the pins on either side of the match head.  The pins are like a form or mold for the exhaust.  Wrap the foil around  the head of the match.  Carefully remove the pins from the rocket.  Lay the rockets on a brick with the brick tilted up a bit.  Take another match and light the end with the foil.  Watch it shoot.

I am bored here.  I am getting ready to move sod from the garden.
