It will be a quiet day here, but tomorrow I start the prep for a colonoscopy on Wed.
Oh joy, oh joy.
Oh joy, oh joy.
I refuse to ever have a colonoscopy again. Make sure you have plenty of reading material.Started my prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Fun time for the rest of the day.
If prep makers had any sensitivity and empathy, they would provide a comfortable crapper cushion in the box.Started my prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. Fun time for the rest of the day.
The first flight was a success. I went to a local baseball park and managed to fly the drone all around, return, take a picture (shown below) and then land on the case I took off from.Today may be my next, major shot at learning to fly the new drone. I did manage to get the drone (i.e. a Skydio 2) up in the air yesterday evening and make a number of controlled landings, setting it down on top of the carrying case. I was able to press the "Land" button with great skill and then watch it land itself. Yesterday I was using the iPhone as a control device. Today will be the first use of the 2-stick controller.
This is a case where I am pushing myself to to learn a new and uncomfortable skill. The discomfort is knowing the drone is a somewhat fragile and expensive flying camera that you don't want to crash. I picked this particular drone for its obstacle avoidance capabilities, which eases the discomfort somewhat.
If that's your silver ride, Jon, wow!The first flight was a success. I went to a local baseball park and managed to fly the drone all around, return, take a picture (shown below) and then land on the case I took off from.
You can see the drone case, which was the takeoff and landing platform,on the bottom right in the pic. When you fly the drone within a certain proximity over the case, you can press the "LAND button and it will automatically land itself perfectly on top of the case. This to say that any one of you could, with a little help and instruction, fly this thing with reasonable certainty of not running into anything.
I keep forgetting to lock the carStarted the day with a walk before it becomes too warm. Finishing yesterday’s projects. The beans for the soup needed soaking. Only half the vegetables were ready so did more chopping.
Talk about pushing buttons - I keep forgetting to do this. Fill the coffee pot walk away. Laundry in the washer. Walk away. So finishing yesterday’s laundry and doing some hand washing too.
