Had a great weekend along with some flying time on Friday. With so much wind blowing I had to bring her down quickly. Getting too many warnings of high wind velocity.

Played a bit with my new camera. The menu system is a little intimidating but I’ll be getting used to it in no time.

Saturday we had some crazy storms in the morning triggering a bunch of tornado warning alarms but they all turned out to be false alarms.

Speaking of the camera, I wish I had it earlier and was familiar with the menu system and how to take some video or burst shots. I could have come away with some good lightening shots. I also purchased a couple of fast wide angle lenses and the best item was a converter for the Cannon EF lenses to the Sony E lens mounts. Now I don’t have to sent my old Cannon lenses out to the pasture.

When I start collecting some video and still images I’ll post here pronto. Looking forward to playing. Next weekend should be good. It will be a long one, three days but long enough.

Another item worth mentioning, I did have not heard from Angie in over a week now. I did get a money request for 65.00 but ignored the heck out of that. Maybe she will now get the hint. I have really hated doing this to her but she would not stop, get things together and take care of herself. She is 54 years old now and you would think she would have enough self esteem to fend for herself. I miss they way she used to be and I do think a lot of the blame can fall on me for letting her take advantage like she has. But.. it’s over ‘crossing fingers’ finally.

Now lets see if they pay me back….. I’m not going to hold my breath.

Heck, Bryan sent me this note telling me how he has this spreadsheet all set up and will start paying me back $30.00 at a time. With his schedule he thought he could do it by the end of July (I think that is what he said). Well, a have received one payment of $30.00 about three weeks ago and nothing since.

At times I like to ask myself, what do they think of themselves when they make promises like that and then don’t follow up on their commitments.

I am proud of the fact that I have never borrowed any money from any person, friend or family and not paid them every dime back. Sometimes I actually paid much more than I borrowed.

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.

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.
