Yesterday was our community Fall Fest. The Social Director on our HOA board put a lot of work into this event: costume contests for kids and pets (Dicha won first place with her bee costume). There was a clown/magician/balloon artist for the kids; live music for the grown-ups, a food truck, and an ice cream truck.
3 of the 5 HOA board members were there... that's all I'm going to say about that.

Updates...
Since getting the HoverAir X1 Pro, there have been updates to the drone and/or beacon controller every couple weeks. I got it out yesterday to download and install the updates. And then, a bit of flying...
Using the controller, I flew it around like a more typical drone, as opposed to using the automated flight modes built into it. I tested that out by following Murphy around...
The furry boy wasn't frightened by the noise of the drone, but he did keep an eye on it...
Look under the chair on the image above to find him.

This afternoon, we are playing out with the group I call "the local guys." The band doesn't have an official name, yet. I have told Mark and the guys that I have "maybe one gig per month in me"... I didn't really expect any playing out at all with these local guys. We'll see how this one goes. This will be two gigs in less than a week.

Did you "fall back"? Switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time at 2:00 am this morning? Not me. Arizona (and Hawaii) doesn't change. Look at all the "time" we save by not messing with all the clocks in the house. ;-)

The only good thing about the time change is that all the clocks get reset to correct time again after drifting slightly over a few months. Some go fast, some go slow. The cars are the worst -- so many menus that are non-intuitive. We have one of those atomic clocks that gets its time signal from Colorado. But we cannot make it read Mountain Time. It always wants to go with Pacific Time because we are so close to Oregon. Still useful for minutes and seconds...
We lived in Alaska for many years and it was really stupid to change time there. No matter what your schedule, you are driving to work and coming home in the dark, so why bother? Around the winter solstice the sun "rises" at 10:30 am and sets again about 3:15 pm, for a total of ~5½ hours of daylight in Anchorage.
When people ask what prompted our move to Arizona, instead of "being close to our daughter and son-in-law" or "climate," or "big city amenities, I like to say: "Not having to change clocks for Daylight Saving Time." Yeah, kidding.
Nice thing about living in the lower latitudes: not such a drastic change over the year with that whole hours of daylight thing. I still remember living in the frozen northland.
