Porta-potties at BALLS

Thread rating:  |
Brian Elfert - 24 Sep 2004 01:06 GMT Why don't the organizers at BALLS get more porta-potties or have them emptied over the weekend? I have a toilet in my RV, but I heard reports on Sunday that they were pretty full again this year.
I may go one of these years without my RV and I would like to have a bathroom that isn't full to the rim.
I would be willing to pay a bit more if that is what it takes to have decent facilities. I do commend AHPRA for having two more porta-potties than last year and also for having hand washing facilities this year.

>That would be practical if they are delivered by a service but possibly >not if hauled by users from far away. Anybody know? Last year they were hauled in on a trailer that had steps up to the porta potties. This year they were placed on the ground, so I assume a service brought them in.

Mfreptiles - 25 Sep 2004 00:17 GMT >That would be practical if they are delivered by a service but possibly >not if hauled by users from far away. Anybody know? I believe that the club members themselves haul them out to the site and back again after the launch. Not a job that I'd want to do, especially after they are full. The launch organizers have my respect.

>We'le be sure to have your gold toilet seat and red carpet, your highness. Do you like to use a toilet that is almost overflowing? I don't care about the smell as long as they aren't full and are usable.
Is it really too much to ask for a launch organizer to have adequate toilet facilties for the crowd?

Just a launch organizer asking who never heard that complaint at his launches.
Or maybe Jerry's friends just sh.t less?

Since they're full of sh.t, they must not be using the porta potties.

Nope, not even a single blade of grass -- and it's a heck of a long walk from the center of the dry lake, out to the edges where there is some sparse growth.

XAVIEN - 24 Sep 2004 20:06 GMT I can tell you guys from "first hand" (get it....) experience that AHPRA does a great job, especially with the toilets! They did the ARG weekend launch this year and it was great! My wife was even "thrilled" that the toilets had a clean smell, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. If you can make a woman happy with a porta potty, you have your "crap" together! I know I know, too many bad puns but it is Friday afterall.

XAVIEN - 25 Sep 2004 03:48 GMT Jim,
Just tell everybodythat the ARG launch was a "trailer trash" theme. With porta potties in the back ground who would argue. The one picture I really would have loved to have, one with the faces of the Arizona State University group (that built that large rocket that fell apart in mid-air) with a porta potty in the backgound, that would have been classic!

That was a great launch no doubt, that john out there was reminiscent of the "park".
And what is it with these engineering students? I've seen a couple of teams fly the past few years, neither successfully. It seemed to me they were reinventing the wheel.
If you got nothing going on later today stop by the shop, we'll be working on the trailer and I'm working on a new variation of the Atomic Buffalo Turd. Think Quesa Asadero, scallion and garlic, or maybe some Gorgonzola and shallot....you ought to smell my kitchen right now...

XAVIEN - 27 Sep 2004 00:04 GMT Jim,
The engineering students that I have seen are so darn cocky. A large percentage don't want to listen to people "in the field". I have 10 years design experience, but I still love talking to people to get ideas / pointers. It seems that the recent teams "know it all", it's a shame really. The best advice I ever got has always come from people, not books!
Thanks for the offer, but I was in Laughlin all day Saturday. Did one of those turn around trips with some friends and family. I will probably see you for the XRAA launch in August, the weather has been alot friendlier lately!!

LanceL - 24 Sep 2004 04:42 GMT Brian,
It is chicken sh.t on your part to post hearsay complaints on this forum about launches. You've been doing it for years and it's getting to the point where folks would like to see you just stay home, or at the very least, SHUT UP.
Do you think you're doing a public service or what?
I'm guessing that pumping and cleaning service in the desert ain't cheap and maybe not even available.
Maybe you'd like to be in charge of all the big launches so they can be run to your satisfaction.

Murray Lampert - 25 Sep 2004 00:34 GMT Funny how everyone is willing to pay a few extra bucks AFTER the fact; running a launch is serious business for any club that undertakes it. Unfortunately, rocketeers, as a group, are some of the cheapest people on the planet. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. My point is simply that in estimating resources these days I can understand a club UNDERestimating resources in order to keep costs down.
In the case of porta-potties, especially over a weekend, it is difficult in some markets to simply call up and have a truck come by to service one (or more) of them. One must book in advance.... or call and wait for service. By which time the launch is over.
The best solution is to have more resources than you expect to need, especially when it comes to porta-potties.
But then everyone complains about the extra $5 in flyer fees.
Jeez, caught between a rock and a hard place. (Get it?)
