Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Very nice video, RNG. Bet you enjoyed making ��

Thanks, David. The best part was when the drone landed in one piece., and so far, nobody from the FAA has come knocking..:laughing:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

RNG- I am definitely impressed with your videdos. Thanks for sharing. I stopped working on the æ“¢C when the image stabilizing gimbal I bought had a grand mal seizure when I set it up for calibration. . I wonder how I can manage to get a Mavic Mini and still keep whatç—´ left of the å±*ewels.?rolleyes:

Thanks, Jay. You maybe could mention it's a safety measure, as this tiny drone is not likely to damage anything if it goes out of control. It's also an economy thing, because the built in safeguards to self land, Return To Home, limit range and altitude all seem to work, thereby preventing additional repair or replacement costs. And if worse comes to worst, there's that forty dollar insurance policy that gets you a new drone, twice a year. But in the end, begging forgiveness might be better than begging permission, as long as you stay on good terms with Brogen and he'll share his dog house with you for a few weeks.:laughing:

A couple of large 天痴 of Canadian Geese were headed north earlier.
????..??..?.
Saw two flock of geese hour apart first time the year.....hmmm.

 

[Thomas]

62F slight wind lot snow melting today.

T shirt weather while raking south banks felt good going to have LOT yard clean up cause from the ice storms. had to call in quits 3:30 my back pockets started to drag. ')
Two flocks geese flew over this morning another sign of spring. :dance1:
Hot shower dinner little tv pillow time and do it again tomorrow.

Enjoy the day all.

Productive time in front of the 20 ton press this morning.



Additional bracing made for carport.



Done for day. Off to Happy Hour.

 

[jbrumberg]

Thomas- The way those geese wings were forming up I would not be surprised that it took them to get to NH to get organized. All kinds of honking going on..... not the usual noise and chatter.

RNG- The technology today is lightyears beyond from where I started my craziness. And I I thought that I had those impulses under control.... and there is no known medication or treatment excepting very intrusive measures with a modern icepick. It all started when I modified an indoor IR controlled $18 coaxial helicopter to the point it was too fast to fly in any indoor environment smaller than a basketball court (or more ). Another "Hanger Queen."

Mower was delivered this morning! Nicely crated in a steel cage, strapped to a pallet. Here are some pics unloading it.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Then, while I was starting to assemble it, wifey came out and said it ‘ s not blue! ? ..... I said, “ well I have the matching LS paint “ .... The rest is now history......

 

[toppop52]

It hit 70° here today, beautiful day. Still 50° outside.
I accepted the offer of the part time job at the dealership. I can name my hours and he only needs about 16 hours a week, that about suits me. I need some structure but not too much.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Assembly will have to wait until tomorrow.....

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

RNG, as Jay stated, your addiction is only beginning.... I can attest that the R/C hobby will parallel any crack cocaine addiction in cost....

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Randy, congrats on taking the position.... at least 16 hours to stay out of trouble.... well, maybe...

LA, Nice mower, now you need grass.

Went to Costco after working late, because I got in late. No Kirkland water, no TP of any kind, no tissues, no wipes. stocked up on some meat since I have the new freezer. Did get some pasta, canned tomatoes, and stuff. Wife always waits till we are out. She said she would get TP at Walmart. I doubt it.

My DR visit in AM went ok. Follow up on surgery from a couple years ago, not my GBS. Return in 6 months.

Home at 8pm, ate too much for supper.

I would like a $500 drone, but decided food was a better place to spend it. If I get sick again disability kicks in after 2 weeks, so I need to save cash “just in case”.

Already told Dad I won’t be over for his 96th birthday in a couple weeks. Don’t want to chance it.

More self quarantined people doing stupid stuff.

Good evening all. 58F for the start, light rain, trace in rain gauge, light wind. Wind were howling today, overcast until afternoon, high temp was 78F. Choir practice to start, tried to check on some couches we ordered, but Monday was an off day. Did get some puttering in garage done, new seat finally on Trek, and got new wheel on wheelbarrow. Too windy to ride had to make town run for stepdaughter, so had dinner in town.
RNG, very nice video. Making nice progress on your drone flying.
Drew, glad to hear some progress.
Buppies, that one worked
Eric, never noticed the sock thing until I posted. As far as hot, there were a lot of riders there, I suspect you could find one more bothered by the heat
Buppies some steep hills to work on!
Eric, the amount of travel plus initial compression vs free length also figures in spring life.
Ron glad to hear mailbox survived the winter, as well as the fish. Neat pic. No ankle brace just dressed my self funny :confused3:
James, might be a bit cool for summer trim yest.
PJ nic new car, hope it works for you! Would have thought you could find one closer to you, St Peters was my old stomping grounds.
Ted that pic was Easter weekend 2017, rain here was a bust also.
RNG, rock removal and trench filling sound like hard work.
Haveing issues with keyboard finish tomorrow.
prayers for all.

47 right now...high in the mid-50's today...quite a bit cooler then yesterday's mid-60's.
Snow is rapidly melting...probably mow in a few weeks.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the temp is 36°F and it will be cooling off to 32. Wind SSW 13 gusting to 19 mph. Rain.

Been raining since yesterday. That will cut the snow.

I don't know for sure what I will be getting up to today.


Have a safe day all

 

[MF243RedTop]

Good morning all!
Y'all talking snow and melting snow and I'm down here in South Georgia in shorts and T-shirt weather
:laughing:

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. Wet, windy and unusually warm. Even with heavy cloud it is expected to reach 13C/55F.

Welcome to GM MF243RedTop, I guess my "warm" temperatures seem quite chilly compared to your T-shirt weather.

Either I missed some moles or they are coming in from neighbours, as fresh mole hills have appeared again in several fields over the last few days. Traps are out again to try and clear the hay fields before they start breeding again.

RNG, drone flying is supposed to be difficult, you make it seem far too easy. Next time try zooming over the water while standing on one leg, blindfolded - your GM audience enjoys a bit of "mild peril"

Randy, if you enjoy the work, then why not :thumbsup:

LS, you have been real busy with your new mower. Looks great in blue (not that Iseki owners have any colour bias ) and that packing crate angle iron is a nice bonus towards another project.

 

[wngsprd]

57 going to low 70s again.

Paul, real nice looking Kia. Hope it gives you many fun miles.

RNG, nice camera work...no jerkiness or fast panning like I did on my first couple.

Rick, I'll have to take a look at the Lynxx next time I'm in HF. Thanks for the reco.

Ted, was a nice looking mower when it was still Kubota orange . Looks like top quality.

My wife and dog and I went for a hike up to a waterfall in Shenandoah yesterday. Trail was pretty busy at first...talked with one group of college students coming down from 3 days of backpacking. Then one lady let her Australian sheep dog get loose and rush Coco, but I intervened. Beautiful dog, plus she had an English border collie. Too much dog energy for one older lady, I guess. The park service had to replace a washed out bridge since we were last at this area, and did a very nice job. Went to the Mennonite grocery store/petting zoo on the way home for some goodies. Then crossed a big lake before home and saw a guy water skiing...in March. :cold:

MF, I see you're in Statesboro...makes me think of the Allman Brothers.

Good morning all. Like our new friend in Georgia -Welcome- it's a warm day here, warming up for next week. 50 now, low seventies later.
Lots of appointments today, not going to get much done outside. Need to pick up yukky liquid stuff from local Radiology prior to CT w/contrast on Thursday.
Not quite as bad as that awful stuff we take for prep downstairs. Then to drugstore, then to lawyer to update my will, then to car wash next town over and finally to
neurology doc to explain all the long words in my last set of MRI's. I can google words but having them explained is better.
Then home to do nothing I hope.

4 inch plastic pots came in yesterday, going to up-pot a variety of flowers and send them in to Garden Club meeting on Friday. I can't go, but I'll send flowers, ladies
will be happy with that...

watching my retirement account taking some serious hits, wow what a day yesterday. Would be nice if it was all in the green today instead of red, red, red.

My sister in CA sent me a case of coconut water, as it seems to have positive benefits. Got through first bottle and started to gag. Hmmm.
Dumped some tart cherry juice in it and voila, was fine to drink. Also got some peach and other juices to mix with it.
