Drones are at maximum operational temperature limits (105°F), so looks like we're doing good old fashioned ground surveys without aerial support.

At least the air quality is great!

Party on!

Even though it's days of oppressive weather even at 6am, you do get to take amazing drone shots like this.

Now that's fieldwork weather.

I'd cry, but I need to retain the salt.

Well someone hasn't been watching what happened in LA.

The IODA bill is 3 months old, but as of yet, has not passed the Introduction stage.

In case you didn't know, you can track the path of bills, etc. at the Congress website.

Apparently they're looking at 5 "stages"according to the fact sheet.

I'm just worried that this is going to open sustained flight to TRUST holders, or have them think they can, and cause problems.

Streamlining waivers? Rad. Just anybody BVLOS over parking lots? You've got the Super Scooper again.

Navigating airspace is wild.

I have to have clearance because I'm overlapping a TFR in Class D airspace near an airport.

Here's an example of the maps we use. This is just the LA Metro Area.

And people want flying cars.

LOL

So how's your day lol

Had a white guy with a backwards cap and sunglasses in a red Model 3 pace me just so he could call me a f****t, tell me to fuck off, and flip me the bird.

Then his car autobraked, freaked him out, and he merged angrily onto the 134.

It's a sticker dude. Relax.

But thank you for proving my point.

Here's a couple more of those NGL things while I'm waiting for Big Blue to get an oil change.

Well, week went ok. Finally stopped getting calls from the FBI about TFRs. Everything is going as well as it is (which is, honestly, not totally awesome), and tomorrow I'm inspecting roofs with the drone.

I am 6'1" (but I slouch, cane, injuries, etc.) and a Scorpio, which I really don't know what that means.

It did lead to one of the greatest date fails in my life, though.

So, it's the 2nd or 3rd date I think? and she loves steak, so I get a reservation at Morton's (not ultra, but pretty good). 🧵

<record scratch>
Now that's a jump.

I wanted to. Twice.
Didn't work out.

Now, I'm hitting that age. Half a century or so. So, maybe? Maybe not? I'd have to see how it goes with who I'm with.

For safety, political reasons, and citizenship? Abso-fucking-lutely.
August 2, 2025 at 8:40 PM
And more...

It wouldn't be THAT weird. I mean, there's WAY weirder shit on here and in my life that tops that. Give it a shot.

And this has to be the same person, eh? 'cause that's 3 in a row.

My advice is: Do. Or do not. There is no try.

The worst I can say is "No thank you.", and that's ok.
August 2, 2025 at 8:35 PM
MOAR!

(I'm bored waiting for the wind to die down)

Umm... not usually, unless I really REALLY trust the person doing the setting up, and by trust, I mean they really know me and who I am.

There's a trend of these in this batch. Did someone just relationship question bomb me?

LOL
August 2, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. That's basically an impossible question.

Hmm.

Any and all versions of "Freedom Of Choice" by DEVO.

Got snipped a loooooong time ago. I made the choice because I didn't want to become my father.

I don't think I'd be a good father at all, but thank you.
July 31, 2025 at 7:13 PM
Oops! Missed some!

Well... um... the best thing would be to just come out and say it. Carpe diem. Do, or do not. There is no try.

Being direct with me is a big plus.

I took out all of my piercings (like, ALL of them) because I was getting MRIs so often because of my brain tumor.

Kinda sucks, cause I JUST had my septum pierced. Dang it.
July 29, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Ok. That's a hard question.

If I can pick one and only one, the only thing I can ever watch again, desert Island style...

Joe vs The Volcano.

It's a perfect film.

Oh. Good question.

Honestly, this is going to sound completely contrary to me, but mammoths.

Yes, I'm the Pleistocene guy. The mammoth dude. But they're big, they fall apart, they're a hassle to clean, and common-ish in SoCal.

We have an acronym: AFE

Stands for "Another Fucking Elephant".
