Good morning!!!!

Ron, that Ian of London YouTube drone guru recommends always flying within visual range of the drone, and watching the drone, not the screen. That puts the k-bosh on a lot of stunts people pull with them, but I'd rather follow his advise and get it back every time.

FWIW, I had an anxious moment the other day when I fired up the Mini inside to check out one of the Fly app's menus. The drone didn't have a GPS lock and it was dark enough the camera couldn't see the ground, and it was flying itself straight into the bigscreen TV. ullinghair: Mashed both the down and back levers and got it landed without further excitement, but next time I try to fly inside it'll have the propeller guards installed!

Sorry about your boy's drone, Randy. Most of DJI's new drones fold up pretty small now; did I understand correctly that he has a Mini? It folds into a package about the size of your fist. I you go over to the DJI website to look, be careful you don't come home with one.:laughing:

Yes, he has mini he carries in his truck as a backup. He sold his big drone because he didn’t use it enough to justify his investment. It’s a side business, he does insurance and real estate related stuff mostly. He did shoot that Virginia promotional ad a couple of years ago with it.

Glad you found the key Drew
Frustrating when I’m looking for something that actually looks different or different color than my mental image.

I have that same problem because I don’t retain color well, I’ll think my buddy had a red Camaro years ago, and it will have been yellow.

Same here.

after being told by MB dealer I had to drive to Raleigh in person with ID to order replacement keys, and then when they came in, had
to have rv towed all the way to Raleigh to program keys, I just knew this was going to be an insane cost. One last thought, I emailed my prior
next door neighbor, and asked him if by any chance he had the ignition key. He laughed and said I had it in my pocket. Say what?....
well....the big black fob which I thought was a dumb item with just lock and unlock on it has a concealed compartment where if you push the little button
on it, out pops the ignition key. Geeeezzzzz. He had tucked it away, which I never had... sure felt like an idiot, but a very relieved idiot.
too late to go get propane so I'll just stay put.

Can't say for sure, but that shot would be very easy to fake.

Seems kinda likely huh ?

Even so, that monkey probably does a better job at it than I do.:laughing:

LOL ...

I have another project done! The park bench turned out very well, already put into its place. Wifey is happy.
Some pics of the final assembly and the finished bench out by the pond.

Very nice LS. What did you finish the slats with?
I haven’t got the rust reformer on my ends yet.

Took over an hour to catch up on today. So I’ve forgotten most of it already. need to make list of what people said.
Big storms today. I was at work and didn’t notice. Still raining when I left, but radar said big ones were past. This is not from hurricane yet.
Here is mini drone folded.

Can still see scar from a ruger slide 23 yrs ago.

When I need to run a temperature test on some of the devices I test, I put them on the dash of my car. Easily gets over 120°F for the test I’m doing. Our electronics get tested from -18C to 71° C (0°- 160°F) and sit at the extremes for 48 hrs. Will also get tested at 95% RH for 10 days, among other tests.

Working from home tomorrow.

Wife cut the cabbages this morning. Going to vacuum seal and freeze. Very small and bugs were terrible this year.

Woke up early in the chair this morning, didn’t hurt too bad so was able to lay in bed and sleep another hour. Hurts now after working all day, but getting better. Have a Dr tele video appt this week.

Drew, hang on tight!! Glad you found key.

Young man working with us who has cancer finished chemotherapy now on radiation

Prayers for your coworker. I’ve had 2 young coworkers pass from cancer in their 20s. Not fair.

Stay safe and be well

Hope you find leak soon.
I remember when I was young our water line between well and house had a leak. Dad handed us shovels and said have it dug by the time I get home from work. We only had to dig the wet spot.

Wife brought home an anniversary cake for us today. Anniversary was in April, but Costco wasn’t baking cakes then.
Dog is cute.
