A relaxing start to the New Year: the Rose Bowl Parade, a tasty home-made breakfast, then a movie.
It was a cool start to the day, but beautiful sunshine. I printed a couple registration numbers for the quadcopter (yes, I am legal)...
The red ovals show where I put the registration numbers, printed on sticky-back paper with my new photo printer. Yes, there is a good use for that sticky-back photo paper. ;-)
Since I had the quadcopter out, I decided to fly it and see what happens when a battery runs low. I didn't charge it the last time I had the copter out and thought it wouldn't take long to run it out. I flew it...
Climbing...
Made a few laps of the coach...
Landed and took off a few times. Practiced some maneuvers. When the battery finally did get low, you get an audible warning and a vibration on the controller. And still enough battery left to safely bring it around and land.
I didn't put another battery in it - mid-afternoon and time to head to Steph and Dan's house. I took the scooter out to run a couple errands (they have been living in their garage since the park made us put the cargo trailer in storage) - felt great to be out and about on it again.
Steph made supper. Nice start to the New Year.

ah hah! So there is a good use for the sticky back photo paper! ...and it's only Jan. 1....May you find many many more uses through out 2016.
Thanks, Marty. I was wondering if anyone would catch that. ;-) Humble pie isn't bad with some whipped cream on it.
