LOCAL: Aww, rats! The government shut down. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
DRONE: DJI lost a legal battle. It matters to me because I fly a good camera drone made by DJI that is not even paid off yet. DJI is considered part of the Chinese military. I will just attach the drone to a stick and use it as a camera if I am unable to fly it. Basically, every DJI drone I buy is eventually bricked by an intemperate government edict.
I had offers to fly a couple of farms and a Burger King through Dronegenuity and their poverty rates last week. Our only local farm went bankrupt this year after the dry summer. Farming aint what it used to be. Droning, same mama, different drama.
Dronegenuity is great if you cannot find a pilot quickly. They find pilots for you. They “have trouble with PayPal” and do not pay out by any other method, so if I work for them I have to wait a month or two for a check. Meanwhile I charge less and deliver more on my own, so I am just saying, for the millionth time, support local business.
SCIENCE: Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It’s got what plants crave.
In other new, I cannot afford it. ARRI ALEXA 35 Body & ARRI PL Mount Set (LBUS) K0.0042900 B&H
ART: I have been working on paintings, losing sleep over completion of a couple. All I have been doing is painting. “Conestoga Wagon Train on Summit Mountain” is complete. I got the image from a drone photo.
