Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

So long as it keeps coming up every day, we should be OK

It looks like yet another rainy day is in store for you.

Nice to see the sun trying its best to make an appearance through those heavy clouds.  Have a safe trip.  

Not too shabby.

cheers. WN1X,  it was forecast to rain at home so we headed south for a little trip where the forecast was much better and still get wet.

You're welcome DA.  Really sorry your trip didn't turn out better.  

Speaking of trips I'm flying down to the Bahamas to go on an island hopping dive adventure.  It's only a 3 day trip but should be some good diving.  Weather doesn't look promising but I'm going to give it a shot anyways.

Fingers crossed the weather cooperates.    Ive been following a couple who just bought a sailboat in the Caribbean and they always seem to have nice weather,  the *****.

We think we picked a 4-5 day break in the weather patterns but you know how that can go.  As long as it is not lightening or heavy winds it should turn out alright.  It's usually calm under the water but it is the transit to and from the dive sites that can get quite precarious when the weather doesn't cooperate.

It's hanging around up here, between the clouds

I'll take your word for that one.

No sign of it today - it's chucking it down here

Same,    Im feeling less inspired that before.   Theres a classic rain drops on glass shot but I cant even get enthused to try that today.

I know the feeling. It's shaping up to be a lazy day.
I may review some old footage, looking for ideas to re-visit with a fresh eye and a different drone ( the Mini3Pro now rather than my earlier work with the Phantom4)

Im killing some time before I head out to the workshop and fire up the thicknesses/planer to continue machine up some boards to make easels.  It's extremely loud so I dont like to start too early.

Ear-muff territory, eh?

Oh yes,   probably the only tool I use them for to be honest.    I was given loads of cut off new scaffold boards that Ive been saving,    and to make a few easels for displaying frames Im machining them down into 30mm square sticks,   going to make a few of these to play with -

Looks straight-forward enough

Thats what I thought,   the one I really like may be a bit tougher especially as you cant see much of it.

With the kit you have, it should be a breeze

I need to pop along to that shop and try and get a better view of how it's made.

There'll be a horizontal bar behind, I expect. On a sliding captive bolt and butterfly nut in the vertical slot, to adjust for height?

Im guessing something like this but with an extra layer on the base.

Ah yes. Slots either side.

That one has a nice silver tone.

I went with a much simpler design for now,  Ive got a couple setup with pictures on and they appear to work ok.

thanks Peter,  that will be the mud/sand out there.    Someone was telling me there is a huge razor claim population thats been discovered out there.

neither,   clam as in shell fish.

That's the one I ment indeed.

Sounds like we could become a world leader in the export of them shortly as they have found a huge bed of them in the thames.

Much better now we have razor clams eating all the rubbish.

And then we eat the clams

Yes,     they feed by filtering the water after all.
