Morning. Trying to figure out why Fargo has been dragging in my mind.

Yaa, eh?

The last two episode have just seem to drag on, and on. Maybe it is because of how netflix has us watching series, they release all at once and we watch in binges.

 

This is what keeps my other half happy.

Getting this Drone repaired and up and flying, i saw some inherent problems, like how in the hell do youi NOT crash?

How in the hell do you fly this thing?

How does this controller work?

Going to be a lot of little kids on Xmas, numbering in the millions this year, end if this is their first drone, you will see why i made these videos. (For The Dad's)

Dumb Video camera im using would not "Pause" more than 30Seconds before turning off!

Loved these videos, pilot to pilot, you should be a CFI if you are not already.

"Other than that, have a nice day."

Duster Duty from here on out, pretty much includes the Nevada move in

a year and a half too.

Got gigged just last month for flying too close to SacMetro (Surounded by Farms).

Fortunately, I have avoided that, known plenty that have, and listened to plenty of audio of that happening.

Afternoon Gang

Just back in from the Farm(s).

Motion Sensor flood installed on the Barn, and im sure they will want more.

The one Farmer i did the Boat project is working a deal for yet another boat.

 

He say's Mark?

Do you know Cigarettes?

I ask him what kind of Cigarette?

He says, the Boat!

Holly cow, i had no idea a farmer would know of such a craft :o .

I told him Yep, i grew up in Newport, i know Cigarettes, worked on them, ran them.

 

Knowing Cigarette now makes smaller watercraft, other than the offshore one's i know so well,

I figure that is what he was refering to, NOPE he states, full size with two big V8s of some kind :o

 

Got it from an auction, and figures it was a drug smuggling boat.

He did not say what he paid...Yet.

Having it shipped here from san diego, should be in the barn next week.

I just told him, well you only live once, and ask him how he stumbled across such an item?

Said He was on an Auction site looking for a deal on a tractor, this came up and it was cheaper! :D

 

I told him we need 4' of water min, he just says we will find some, somewhere.

All of our rivers are at 2'.

I told him i will work the Boat on ONE CONDITION, it's mine when he either dies or is done.

He said he had no problem with that being no one else in his Grange has a clue as to this craft. :emotion-21: :emotion-21:

Good afternoon all,

MKP,

My little brother recently purchased a Honda S2000 that he uses primarily as a track car. Do you have any suggestions for any quick, easy and cheap improvements.

I must admit I was impressed when I first drove it. I'd always heard that they need to be revved to the max to get power. I found that to not be true. While it doesn't have the low rpm torque of the Buick/Rover 3.5L V8 in my "avacar," it was very drivable at low speeds. More annoying are the "racing" brake pads that howl like a steam whistle at low speeds.

My Buick powered go-kart could burn rubber in any forward gear from a standing start.

Did those motors start life as a GM 454?

Cigs were into Chevy power in my deckhand/playdays.

25+ years ago was my last exposer and that one had twin 350s.

these would be either punched/blueprinted 454s or some of those "Custom" marine power plants

they started offering as an upgrade.

Well that's just sweet.  You need to post some stretched face, straight back hair pics after you find a place to take that for a spin!  Maybe take it to Hope next year, just a few extra memories to be made...  :)

Morning Gang

First cup down, i see it's dam near the Hump in hump day. close to noon.

 

Dealing with a Bay vendor for Mr Crow parts that now being produced once again.

He his sending everything i should have had in the "Complete Kit" from the indiana seller.

Thank god he came up back in business when he did. Ebay seller is saving me shopping for the next 6Mo.

 

Last email exchange between myself and the First kit i bought, was me stating to the seller,

if you have never built a Crow then there is NO WAY you could know what a complete "Kit" looks like.

He was the one who got ripped off four years ago, and all he did was sell it to me.

I have not ask for my money back, aint going to happen,

im NOT that way when i feel someone simply did not know any better. I end it, i eat it, but i end it.

I just told him, from now on when buying a "Kit" from someone, you should "Know" what it should contain.

You might not run into someone like me who will just write it off and move on.

Thank you.

 

Applying for the SS last week they said check back in 5 days, just did.

"A decision has been made"

We will inform taxpayer by mail of these "Decisions"

 

Decisions eh? that does not have a happy sound about it :o

Called my Lawyer and ask whats up with that statment?

He said they mess with a certin number of people all the time.

Told me if the decision is to mess with me, bring in the letter

and we will start "The Process" :blink:
