October – November Travel
Too much travel, too little time … Over the next eight weeks, I will be traveling … well pretty much around the world. I have a PCI conference in Vancouver, British Columbia to attend, some meetings in one of my company’s Boston offices, and then … audits down in Australia and New Zealand. Somewhere over […]
Sunset over Albrightsville
Sunset photos from 100 Feet over Albrightsville Still getting the hang of the Phantom 3 – as well as third party applications. Tonight it finally stopped threatening to rain, and the wind died down here in Albrightsville Pennsylvania, so I took out the drone and fired up a new app I grabbed: AutoPilot (iOS: App Store) and […]
Phantom 3: Eat Dye and Shit Colors
Things that happen with Dye and Propellers when bored I saw a post on one of the Phantom 3 forums I follow about dyeing the stock white P3 propellers different colors using RIT fabric dye. I did a couple test runs with props that were on when a hemlock jumped out and swatted my drone. The results […]
More Phantom Photos – then a crash
The tree jumped out in front of me … honest officer Flying the Phantom UAV around after work, playing with the controls, got a bit more comfortable so I took it up between 350 and 400 feet and out into the forest somewhere around 500 feet. Got a couple good images, which I cleaned up in […]
Phantom 3: Video up to 400′
Phantom 3 – What went up … … didn’t crash 🙂 As posted earlier, I picked up my Phantom 3 the other day, and lo’ and behold, I have a vacation day today – funny how that happens 🙂 Today, I went to try and fly at Beltzville State Park, as I found a page at the […]
Phantom 3: First Flight
First Flight @ Home So, I got a chance to take the Phantom 3 out before the sun went completely down and took a quick video from about 225 feet over the house and a bunch of photos at varying heights … Not a cinematic masterpiece by any means or stretch of the word, but […]

Trigger therapy
Heading to the range This morning I am heading out to the Pennsylvania Public Range at the State Game Lands 127 for a little bit of target practice. I’ve been traveling in Europe so much this summer that I haven’t been able to get any target shooting in. Today’s therapy has been prescribed and will […]
Saturday Morning Ride
The return of the Jack-O’-Liner This morning, Jen and I went out for breakfast at Cherry’s Sunset Diner in Kresgeville, then for a ride up and around the Poconos and Lehigh Valley… with all the travel I’ve been doing this summer, it was great to finally get out on my custom Stratoliner / Jack-O’-Liner and just ride with […]
OMG – Nice Weather – on a weekend?!?
Surely this is a sign the world shall end! I’ve been on the road nearly all summer, and whenever I have been home its been pissing rain out… not a pattern that conducive to my stress relieving motorcycle riding… but not this weekend! This weekend, other than some paperwork I need to catch up on, I […]
