Droning on: the final chapter… (for now)… three short videos combined into one, in which my cockiness at my flying skills come back to bite me in the butt…

I was so sure of myself. I had sent my new drone high into the sky. I had flown through tree branches. On the last day of my Christmas vacation at my mom’s house in the Bay Area, I decided to try a few ideas I had. I was going to fly it through my mom’s house for the ultimate home movie. I was going to take it for a walk around the neighborhood where I played as a child.

But seconds into my test flight to check the batteries, I clipped the clothesline. The drone flipped over. The camera was having spasms. So of course I tried it again. But there was a little damage to one of the blades… so… uh… yeah, the next two flights didn’t go well.

Life goes on… part 1…

A sunset in San Diego.

We went to the beach last night.

Things felt almost normal.

You could almost forget about… things…

I played around with those crystal photography balls, but I think I had the wrong lens.

I will keep working on it.

Like I do.

My younger daughter Mollie is a ham.

I don’t know where she gets that.

Droning on; version 2.0… part 8… mad flying skillz… part 2…

I was getting so good at flying the new drone. I was confident. It was so stable and responsive. I tried flying it right into the trees, and it worked! And the views of the San Francisco Bay were spectacular.
