I got a little break at work, so I hurried and got the Avata out. So much fun, fly it whenever I get a chance. This is with head tracking on.

Video of the lake and the Airbnb, My daughter, and son-in-law rented for the weekend. Was a great time.

Filmed with the DJI Osmo Pocket.

Day off, the wind was blowing, so I decided to fly... Tired of waiting. It was a great day.

Had a few mins, and went for a flight. Here are some highlights.

Doing a little daredevil stuff. Well for me it is. 3rd time in manual mode. I'm still a rookie. This drone is so much fun. The props I put on. DJI FPV Ludicrous Upgrade Propeller Set x4 Blue Master Airscrew https://www.masterairscrew.com/products/dji-fpv-ludicrous-upgrade-propeller-set-x4-blue

Getting where I can fly in manual mode, but still, I need more practice. With the simulator, I take way more chances. LoL But I crash now and then. This is the real thing.

Quitting time. Everyone is going home for the day. Time to break out the drone for more practice. This DJI FPV drone is so fun, even with the little I can do so far. I know what a rookie is (me), what I go through is nothing to what I see on youtube. But what fun, what a rush, like you are in the drone, or flying, whatever it is it's great. Exciting, just the learning part, can't wait to get good. Muscle memory, like anything, if you have to think about it, you are not there. (me)

The Oasis is what we call this water in the bottom of the pit. I'm just playing and learning, on the DJI FPV. I need a lot more practice, I know. It really makes your heartbeat. Man what a rush. Don't know if it's from a great flying experience or maybe, just thinking about all the pieces flying when I hit something. Have fun watching my journey, learning all this. This is a great drone.

My first flight with DJI FPV. Need to use the simulator (a lot) before I even attempt full manual mode. It can go 60 mpg in sport mode. 80 to 90 in full manual, and full control. Dives - flips.

The Oatman Outlaws street show, they do have different ones on different days.

KWAL was there all my growing up. In cub scouts, we made crystal radios, hours I spent in my room listening to them. You could call and make a request. I'd go there and sell raffle tickets. Lots of memories. Now it's all gone.

Burro's, Gunfights, Food, Souvenirs, on Route 66. A great place to visit.

I know about the line of sight with the controller, but I blew it. Should have had the zoom drone instead of the pro. The zoom I could have stayed higher and zoomed in and stayed in service. Was a very scary day then when I got home and looked at the recording it was scarier.

Well, that's what we called it. Had a lot of great times there. When we were young use to go there a lot. Crystal clear water has the lower level and upper level to jump, dive. Up here on vacation thought I'd make a video of it.

Open-pit Mine outside Bullhead City Arizona

This is my first use of this washer.

Pics of me through the years. Ed Phenning wrote and sang this song.

The day shift on the morning of May 2, 1972, included 173 men. Around 11:40 a.m., smoke was discovered coming from the 910 raise on the 3700 level. 173 men in the mine at the time of the fire, 80 were able to evacuate, with the last one reaching the surface by 1:30 p.m. Two men, able to find a safe zone on the 4800 level near the No. 12 borehole, were rescued 175 hours later. 91 Men never made it out alive. The mine was closed for seven months after the fire, one of the worst mining disasters in American history, and the worst disaster in Idaho history. Today, a monument to the lost miners stands beside Interstate 90 near the mine.

Video I made of a mine in Arizona I worked at.

Mia and I exiting the mine and came to a group of Bats. Mia's ears look like she could take off.

We use to have great times there. Jumping, diving off the rock was great. There is the lower and the higher level. Crystal clear water. Yes, it was a party spot. Miss those days, and all the valley people. What a great place to grow up.

Sorry for no sound.. Fast video of a good friend of mine drone. On the side of a cliff. Were going to retrieve it. Did this this morning before shift. I'll edit a better video later. Plus wait till we attempt to retrieve it. Hope their won't be 2 drones there.
