this thread from the old forum was one of the ones that was lost when all the data was copied over, so i'll start it again.
my dad got a cheap remote controlled drone from ebay, he and i went down to the park to fly it today. there was a strong breeze blowing and that made it kind of hard to fly accurately but after a bunch of messing around it wasn't too hard to counteract the effect of that. it was fun as shit to fly, i took a video of me hitting a balloon with the drone which i might post if my dad sends it to me. i accidentally flew it into a bunch of people who were having a party and got cake all over some woman, that was awkward lol. no damage done to the drone though. flexible plastic frame absorbs most of the impact.
i got a couple birthday gifts in the mail today, a huge bag of reeses pieces from my grandparents and the book of photography that my grandmother (on the other side of the family) was sending to me. i skimmed through it a bit and everything in it is so beautiful.. i can see why this is one of her favorite possessions.
all in all i got up in a shitty mood but i'm satisfied now. today was fun
