Drones vs Fireworks

Okay – it’s freakin’ late August. A neighbor is shooting of fireworks (illegal ones, at that), ugh.

So I sent my drone over.

You can guess the house from the pic above.

Unfortunately, in my giddiness, I failed to record video (only have this pic), but it was brilliant.

I honed in within 50 yards (like I had the thing circle the fire for about 3 minutes) and everyone scrambled. At first, there were roman candles shot at the drone, then they all ran and the fire was out. The signal (looked like the drone was about a mile away from home) started fading but I quickly hit “home” and it flew back and landed in the courtyard.

Fireworks stopped. Quiet evening since. Noice.

Some Changes on the Site

So will be working over the next couple of months to get the site refreshed. It’s been a while.

  • DOPE has a broken element. Menus/Posts are not auto-collapsing. Has been this way for about a year. Time to get into wordpress code and correct or find a new layout.
  • PICTURES. I have gone straight to Amazon Photos for all of our devices and pictures. The advantages are numerous (no limits, RAW, no compression) compared to Google, Cloud, etc. Did my research here. I am working to transition all photos from all devices here. Taking some time.
  • Various other enhancements, tweaks … coming.

Stay tuned.

Yeah, she blew it.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
