Lovely sky!

Thank you. Happy to get a little sun this winter. Thankful it's almost over.

Despite the warm glow at sunset, it still looks rather bleak there.  Spring foliage will soon make a difference

Great video

Now that is an amazing winter sunset.  Great job of filming and editing Charles.

I can't blame you one bit.  You just have to enjoy the great weather days as they come along.  Seems like here we will be back in the mid 80s next week.  What a way to bring in Spring.

I did a refly on that large plaza in Islandia today 42 mph gusts. Not fun even in sports mode.

I saw the 2nd fly shot of Islandia and they are making a lot of progress.

Yes they postponed the second flight. I think they waitedctoo long.

I think you are right about waiting too long.  

My trail camera picked up a wild boat on the backside of the property this morning around 8:00 AM.  I took the ATV and looked around back there but he was long gone.  I found a ton of foot prints.   From the looks of the grainy trailcam shot he looks pretty large.

Wow, that's allot of Bacon.

It surely will be if I can trap or shoot him.  No permit required for boar when hunting on your own property in Florida.

I was at a hotel in Arizona. The hallways were open air and the visitors left their left over food outside their doors. I was out at dawn and I heard blood curdling screams. The wild boars were running through the corridors stealing the food. It was a sight to see.

Yeah, that would have been a sight to behold for sure.  Kind of reminds me of the Cuban rock iguanas that used to come into the offices and rooms on the Navy Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and take advantage of any food they could find.  Some of them grew to right at 5 foot long.

It was the same in Cancun. In the public parks most of the tails were lopped off for food.

For Cancun, that doesn't surprise me.  On my fires visit to Cancun there was wildlife and dogs everywhere.  The last time I was there I didn't see more than 2-3 dogs.  One of the locals told me they get eaten by the tourists.    Unfortunately, when I laughed he said he was not kidding.

I believe it. Outside of the tourist are it's very poor and corrupt.

Pickpockets are prevalent citywide in Cancun.

That's an interesting way to make a living.

The occurrence of pickpocketing seems to be on the increase in many major overseas cities.  Tourists just seem to be too easy of a prey for experienced pickpocketers.

When I was an Investment Advisor for Prudential Securities, people would come from all over the country to train in NYC. Someone would always get robbed, because you could see a tourist a mile away. They are looking up at the buildings, leaving their bags unattended and just being marks.  Most people aren't street smart.

How people not from the United States spot an American tourist from a mile away.  
1. They act so amazed by things that are more than 200 years old, presumably because they don't have many things that old in the USA.
2. You can hear them in museums when everyone else is extra silent.
3. They're constantly wearing their college t-shirt, sweater or cap.
4. Tipping. Americans will try to tip everyone, even in countries where tipping isn't a thing and can even be considered insulting.
5. Asking for the bathroom in a restaurant or public place. Do you need to take a shower? No. What you're really looking for is the toilet.
6. They are the first to take their shoes off at airport security...even when there is a sign blatantly saying not to remove your shoes.
7. When Americans introduce themselves they never say they're from the US. They always start with the state or city they are from.
8. They say 'hi, how are you?' and make conversation with the barista, restaurant servers, retail workers, etc... My country doesn’t quite have that friendly culture.
9. They are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking any random person on the street about anything. I've watched Americans approach people in my home country and abroad starting conversations with strangers that I wouldn't dream of.
10. They always look cheerful and are constantly smiling and seeming happy. Tourists from other places look more neutral or even unhappy.They always look cheerful and are constantly smiling and seeming happy. Tourists from other places look more neutral or even unhappy.
11. They're always asking for ice or extra ice in their drinks.
12. They ask for cheese on everything.
13. They ask for to-go coffee cups. Everyone else in Europe sits and drinks their coffee, but Americans always seem to be in a rush so they take their coffee to go.
14. They ask things like 'what is that in degrees Fahrenheit?' 'How many miles?' and 'That's two pounds'???
15. When they cross the street, they expect cars to stop for them. In my country, a car will run you down without the driver thinking twice.
16. They ask for ketchup no matter what they're eating.

Funny and true. We think we are the center of the universe.

That's got to be what we think.

On a different note my neighbor loaned me his hog trap and I had success already.  Not sure this is the same boar I saw on my trail cam as he appears a bit smaller.  So I'm going to keep the trap up for a few more days.

Good Catch. With eggs at $10 a dozen you may want to eat more bacon.

My neighbor that lives two properties down the canal gives me a dozen fresh eggs from her chicken coop every Sunday afternoon.  I helped her set up her estate and a living will so now she feels she owes me.  I told her she didn't but she just keeps bringing me eggs.  Maybe when she comes over this afternoon I'll tell her that with the price of eggs I want to pay her at least something.  However, I have a feeling she will refuse to accept money.

It's funny, I only buy organic eggs and they haven't gone up that much. I pay between 4 and 10 per dozen depending on where I buy them.  The are only a touch more than regular eggs.

Hey, what is the max video res and frame rate on mavic 3t?

Well, it's not inaccurate. Hard to realize so many people here are not from the us.
