I had a great weekend with a fantastic flight on Friday that ended with the Mavic Pro reaching its max distance for some reason. This distance was just short of where I wanted to explore over the mini forest. I’ll try and post a picture from the video later this week.
What was also nice, is I didn’t hear from Angie at all this weekend. This in fact was nice because all I had in my journal was Angie requesting money, Andy getting a new phone and requesting money, Angie sending another request for money, on and on and on. I sent a letter stating I would not give anymore money until the 2,900.00 was paid in full and that did not stop them. They are relentless.
I typed that title last week when I had another money request through PayPal from Angie for 250.00 because she wanted to get her grandbaby something for Easter. My take on that is this little one needs to grow up learning what Easter is about and not that Easter means getting presents.
Well, I declined the request again and never heard anything the rest of the week. Crossing my fingers here but the next time I want to hear from any of them is when I am being paid the 2750.00 back. Not that I really think that will ever happen.
Another good sign was that I received an email from Bryan stating that he was going to start paying me back. I actually received a payment from him on Saturday for 30.00 just like he said.
I said awhile ago I would put up a picture of my toys well here it is in all their glory
The image is little blurry because I had no external light but starting at the back left to right is a Mavic Pro and Mavic Pro Platinum, second row is a Mavic Air and Spark, finally a Tello. All of them are great I have the most flight time on the Spark because I purchased the Air and Pro/Pro Platinum during the winter months and have only had good weather a couple times. I love this hobby.
A new passion of mine have become this, I’m sure the pictures will make it clear.
This chessboard is called SquareOff and is and automatic chessboard. You play your piece, white or black and the board will move it’s piece. It looks pretty spooky at first but the quality is fairly good. I have purchased another board since this one, a DGT board and it is VERY nice. I’ll post pictures of that one next week.
For now have a great week and I’ll speak at you later.
After such a great weekend last week Angie had to spoil it. I went ahead and gave the 200.00 she requested via PayPal for her grand baby and she has the nerve to send another request for 150.00. I cancel the requests and she just sends another, starting to piss me off.
During the weekend I cleaned all the drone stuff away from the dining room window and brought everything to the bedroom closet. It looks really good. Now I need to get rid of all the styrofoam packaging materials. I think a quick trip to the garbage should do the trick sometime this week.
I’m getting back into keeping thinks clean around the house and my health up. The weight is still a problem but I should be able to tackle that easy enough as soon as I can get back on the bike. I have injured my elbow by keeping it too tense and it is very sore right now. To the point it hurts just opening a door.
Work is going well, Dan is starting to do more of my work for some reason but I’m sure that is nothing to worry about. If there was some problem, Dan would let me know. I have spend some time cleaning up the permissions in SharePoint and adding all of the ME group (both programs) to VCR so any individual can work on whatever program Jasmine wants them to work.
The automated DR/DI system in SharePoint seems to be working out now. When a new item is received messages/email are sent to the required individuals and the log seems to be filled out correctly.
I had to start the mandatory training for the year today, nothing like waiting till the last minute to complete the training. Deadline is Monday the 15th of April and I started on Thursday the 12th. Doesn’t seem like I waited too long but I’m taking Monday off so I have two days to complete the training.
Flying the Mavic Pro Platinum in the house and ending the evening with a broken leg was not fun and purchasing a new drone cost me 750.00
Why was it worth the 750.00? Well, the seller on eBay contacted me and let me know the drone I purchased was not a Mavic Pro Platinum as advertised. It was in fact a Mavic Pro and a Mavic Pro fly more combo at that which also was not advertised. All in all I purchased a Mavic Pro fly more combo worth 1,299.00 for 750.00. I end up with both a Mavic Pro Platinum (broken leg but not unusable), Mavic Pro (like new), eight batteries, two carrying bags, two remotes, all the accessories and a great hard case. I am very happy.
On to Angie. She sent an email asking for another 200.00 because her grand baby was attacked by a dog, she sent a picture with kind of broke my heart. I told her no and of course I get the guild treatments etc.. Then she had the guts to send a money request through PayPal for the 200.00. Friday I went ahead and sent the money and again thought it would be it. No, in fact she went ahead and sent another request for 150.00 on Sunday morning. I went into PayPal, canceled the request. Who the heck does she think she is? I’m so done with her, I can’t believe I actually thought there could be something between us at one point in time. So dang stupid I am.
It cost me 750.00 because I flew my Mavic Pro Platinum drone in my apartment and crashed it. I think the camera is broken and one of the legs broke. These contain the antenna and now it is only good for spare parts. I found a new drone, never been activated for 750.00. Looks like a get the case, two batteries charger and controller. This give me an entirely new drone package with case, seven batteries, three sets of propellers and a bunch of spare parts. All in all a good deal for the money spent but there will be no more flying a Mavic Pro in the house again,
