Drone Registration and Government Waste

I’m sure most of you have heard about the government’s plan to force all drone operators to register their equipment (aircraft, quadcopter, helicopter, etc.). Of course, this is just another knee-jerk reaction by the government to pacify the public. The media creates the problem by reporting all these terribly frightening and dangerous “problems”, the public… [Read More]

I ordered and received a DJI Phantom 3 from “Camera Professionals” via Amazon.com. I am VERY HAPPY and in love.  What an unbelievable piece of engineering! My hat is off to DJI – incredible job boys! I have to first echo several important things that I have read recently. 1. Start with a trainer quadcopter/drone/UAV. … [Read More]

Review: BearExtender PC Wifi Booster

There are several wifi booster options available of enhancing your wifi signal range.  Keep in mind I am discussing wifi here and not cellular data. I purchased a Wirie several years ago for my sailboat but that unit is not compatible with my current MS-Windows 8.1 computer (at least I could not make it work)… [Read More]

Back home in Montana

This past weekend saw me driving again.  I left Rapid City, SD Saturday morning and headed towards Broadus and Ashland, Montana.  My plan was to find the Red Shale campground in the Custer National Forest. I don’t recall ever driving this route thru the southeast corner of Montana but I am sure glad I did… [Read More]

I love the drummer!!! The 80’s were “My Era” so, of course, I love 80’s music. I recently saw the following commercial and had to chuckle. Ya, check out the hair too!

Career Change

I’ve decided on my NEXT career! I will become a customer service consultant. The market for a good customer service consultant appears to be huge!  I could start a company and make bazillions of dollars in no time – write a book, start a magazine.. err… “publication” (to use currently accepted terminology), and maybe even… [Read More]

Hot Tub Cover

So, you’ve got this thing that burns gobs of electricity and turns it into heat.  You have a cover for this thing but it is torn up and leaks the heat pretty bad.  What do you do?? Yup, order a new cover.  Or, I suppose, turn the thing off altogether.  We’ll skip the latter option…. [Read More]

Yucca and Rocks

A very pretty view out my front door.  Yucca plants and massive rocks! Far from the cold and white that much of our wonderful country is seeing right now.  I love the desert and am thankful to be here! Happy New Year!
