Houston, we have a roof (structure)



Notice the near miss on that crane.
(looks closer than it actually was)

Wow you almost scraped some paint off the crane that time   Things finally look well advanced. And in full sunlight it looks really good.

I was watching the MP closely
Since I wanted this effect.
And with the MP you get a narrow field of view (compared to the newer drones) so you are still at some distance, but it looks really close!
Now it finally looks like a home indeed!

You could get the same effect with the M2Zoom from further away

If it is <250g it would be tempting not to replace the M2 immediately

Having the roof completed really is a major step.  Looks much more like a home now.  By the way, did you get your delivery yet?

Nope, no update yet.
It is underway.
But no update since last Saturday, so I'm not sure where and how and what.

It will take some time to adjust, but yeah!
I have asked about the garage build planning, so I'm hoping M2 will be on time before they start with the next project.

DHL might be a bit overwhelmed with the amount of packages moving at this time of year.  Hopefully you get it soon.

Seems like we all have other projects going on besides drone projects.  Hard sometimes to prioritize which to get done first.

We should start a vlog about it.
Oh wait, that is just one more thing to do.

The way I deal with it right now is just don't bother anymore.
Unless there is some schedule of course.
But most of my 'things' are hobby anyway!

Fortunately for me I retired after 40+ years of Naval service.  I made some very lucrative investments over the years.  Upon retiring I sold my large house and bought a 62 foot boat and have 7 acres with waterfront footage with a large full service dock.  I still have quite a bit of inland acreage about 74 miles away that I have no plans to sell.  I was lucky that when I first entered the Navy I was given some very sound financial advise that I followed to the "T" and now I am trying to live life to the fullest.  Don't get me wrong I'm still very frugal with my retirement funds but I do love a new "toy" once in a while.  

So, I no longer have a work schedule to follow.  Basically everything I do is somewhat hobby related.  Although, I do stay busy with upkeep on the boat and my other "toys".

No problem at all!
Good to hear.
I'm still in the middle of my working life.
But I like my job.
It is sort of my hobby too
So that is perfect!

If you like your job that is at least half the battle.  Even better yet if it is sort of your hobby also.  

I miss the camaraderie of being in the military and also seeing the world.  I only saw 63 countries so I'm still anxious to travel and see some more...but this pandemic has definitely put a damper on travel.

Very true.
Best job I ever had (third one)
And I'm not planning on changing anytime soon.

Indeed, very true.
Plus I started to think about the impact our way of living has on this planet.
And how 'not sustainable' that is.
