Good plan DT.  Although Id wait until the resolve the bugs.

I have put the M3 on hold until at least March.  If things improve greatly then I'll probably buy.  Otherwise still excited to see what a Mini 3 will bring.

Ive pretty much decided not to go the M3 route,  I may get Mini 3 if it bring enough to warrant it,  if they only add OA/AT then I will skip it

I was hoping for just a bit larger camera for starters.  I rarely use OA so I don't really care to have that added.

I mostly turn off the OA,  but a same as you a good bump in the camera and I'll get one,   I have some points with a local shop that would easily cover one for free.

Sounds like you are doing some advance planning.  Hopefully, the Mini 3 will be a worthy upgrade from the Mini 2.

Always like to have a plan,   nothing fixed so its quite flexible.

Having a plan is always a huge help.  Reminds of a saying I heard at a corporate office one day.  "We can't be flexible as that is too rigid, so we have to be fluid."

Thats because you keep your brain active DT.

I try to keep my brain as active as possible.

I have to stay active.  Definitely not interested in becoming a "couch potato".

Ive clocked up 335 miles so far this month on foot that is.

Wow.  At that rate you are going to be wearing out the soles of your shoes rather quickly.  Great for the cardio though.

My old walking boots are being retired as the soles are almost smooth, but they have 20 years walking on them and it will be a sad day when they go,   I dread to think how many miles they have on them,   but they are so comfy that I can wear them all day and not even think about them.

Every thought of getting them re-soled?  Or is that even possible on your boots?

Its not really a thing on those boots and there is a little split in the side which leaks now so it wouldn't be worth it.  I think they have served me well.

Well with 20 years of use I'd say you definitely got your money's worth out of them.  

Give them a proper burial.

I may cremate them,  although they will probably stick around for some gardening for a while yet.

For me as a beginner this is very useful information. Thank you!

You're very welcome Jees Colins.

Jees Colins Posted at 1-29 01:54
Thanks, I haven't bought a drone yet. I wanted to see and talk to drone owners before buying)

You found the right place,   best to ask questions in the product section.

There you go, eek out a bit more use before you retire (cremate) them.

Yes,  I think for some gardening duties they should last me a good bit longer.

Wont be long until the garden will need to be done again.

When do you start again?  Guessing around March?

Hard to believe that January is already over....seems so quick to me.

Yes around march,  I might start some seeds off for the veg patch before that.

Great way to get a head start on things for the upcoming growing season.

Yes and it forces you to sort out the vegetable patch rather than leave it too late,  which Ive been known to do.

You must put out a fairly large garden then.

150 x 50 ft,   bigger than average for these parts probably nothing on a USA plot.

That's really big for a home garden.  Bet you get a lot of veggies out of that plot.
