I love remote control toys. I don’t have many as I really can’t justify spending the money and the good ones are usually quite expensive. Years ago I built a remote control sailboat, but that is a story all on its own.
I love my drone. I don’t fly it nearly enough, mostly because I’m afraid of crashing it, and I am not good a very good pilot. Plus we have trees. Lots and lots of trees. My drone is light, so any breeze makes flying difficult, and just because there is no breeze down here does not mean there isn’t one higher up. There are drones that can actually sense trees and not fly into them, maybe one day when I can pilot better I’ll be able to ‘invest’ a little more and get something more advanced. For the moment the one I have will do fine.
All you have read thus far has nothing to do with this story. I just needed a place to start. Often the beginning is the hardest part.
I was flying the drone around the house, snapping pictures as I went. I was trying to take video but I had forgotten how, (hold down the picture button). Sounds simple but when the drone is in the air, there seems to be a lot going on and I tend to panic.
Later, in the comfort of my living room I was looking at the pictures, there was the driveway, the lawn, part of the roof, (which reminds me I need to clean the gutters) and the tree I flew into seconds later.
After reviewing the picture of said tree I am not sure I flew into it. I think my drone was called into it by the demons that inhabit the tree. You don’t think I am serious, take a good look at the picture. I even made it easy for you and circled the demons face. I also see two more faces, one directly to the left of the circled face and another just above.
Lovely forest! enjoyed your blog!

Thank you, and see you soon.
I record the same things like crazy. if you look hard enough it seems there holographic and are manufactured from creatures on hover boards, using lazers and smoke. scary times we live in PRAY. Oh yeah they also are being projected from things in the clouds.
Hi Brian,
I wrote a long and overly detailed reply to this post way back when you wrote it. Unfortunately WordPress gets very mad at me when I write long comments and tends to reject them…(the comment simply never appears). Since I’m in a “commenting mood” here is the shorter version: I love frisbees. I haven’t thrown one in many years but they are still special to me. Did you know that old frisbees are collectible and some of the rare ones sell for insane prices on eBay? But I digress (I do that)… What I really want to share is that there is a phenomenon that affects frisbees called “car suck”. I believe it may even be written up in the book of “Murphy’s Laws”. The “car suck law” states that when making a poor throw, if there is a car in the immediate vicinity, the frisbee WILL slide along the pavement and be sucked underneath the car. It will come to rest in the absolutely most difficult place to retrieve it. “Car Suck” really exists. It has affected me many times LOL. So I’m wondering if there is a related phenomenon called “Drone Suck”… perhaps the demons assist in this process. Don’t let your guard down! 🙂 🙂

I love your reply. I know all about “car suck” but I did not know that it’s actually a thing. However our view on frisbees. Like you it has been forever since I have thrown one. My brother and I used to ‘toss the frisbee’ around on a regular basis. The problem we always ended up having is that without fail it would turn into the “let’s see how hard I can throw the frisbee and see how much damage it can cause to the hands of the catcher” game. I can still feel the burn.
