Seriously? Coming from a guy that has threatened to shoot drones over his property.

London - England is a great place...

Your pointing of fingers towards California is getting tiresome.

I said I would shoot down quads that were cruising here with cameras, if you actually took the skeet shooting with prizes comment about the Amazon drones seriously when then that is your fault for not realizing the sarcasm,
I am not going to parf this up with defending myself about jabbing Ca. Just view it as payback for all the shorts and flip flop comments the rest of us have to hear while we are actually in pain from not enjoying the spectacular weather you enjoy

Morning.

Didn't mean to upset anyone. Just thought it was interesting they banned drones in parks when England is one of the few countries that allow making drone video's for profit. And there are lots of people illegally making drone video for profit in America, But it is perfectly legal to fly a drone around in a park.

Andy, how is married life?

Good Morning folks.

Drones will soon fill the skies with buzzing if not restricted some. A friend of mine went to Colorado last summer and was enjoying a beautiful summer day on a lake when all of a sudden it sounded like a swarm of angry hornets. Some dude was flying his drone around taking video. As he watched a gust of wind tossed the drone right against a large boulder on the sore line. It smashed to pieces and my friend said it was a nice size drone turned into a bunch of pieces. He said he was really happy it hit a boulder and not his car.

It will be interesting to see where drones or UAVs go with insurance and regulations. The one undeniable thing is there will be lots of lawsuits.

Good morning all.

Are ya headed to Lake Cowan? Down by Pert the color of the country changes. It is not brown but actually has green stuff. Is that something like the Red & Blue states here in the US?

We're about 100km east of Lake Cowan tonight, and headed that way in the morning. Then we head south to Esperance.

Married life is going good. Just trying to get renovations complete on the new to me house that is 115 yrs old. Also now with coming into spring, I can start working on the outside which wasn't taken care of at all.

Andy, sounds like you should be exhausted. The nice thing about owning is you can do those renovations.

Our weather is now sunny and in the upper 50s and in the 60s next week.
