    For any of you straight razor shavers out there thinking of trying a shavette, bewarned, it has way more “bite” than a traditional straight razor. My face looks like a jigsaw puzzle.

    Question. If you was purchasing again would you go that particular one? I ask because I’m really considering buying a pair of drones.

    I don’t have too much experience with a lot of drones, but this one is perfect for me. I use it to do roof and gutter inspections mostly. Folded, it’s barely bigger than my phone and the gimble camera technology is pretty amazing. It stays super still even with a little wind.  Ultra 4K HD video and pics.   I haven’t flown it (nor will I) in winds too heavy though.

    With the high potential of providing a learning experience regarding drones please see below:  =)

    Have you ever put much thought into the male honey bee?  The drone is a fascinating creature from his birth to mating to death.

    Drones are the larger bees hanging around hives. They live there during the spring and summer but regularly leave to find Drone Congregation Areas (DCAs), in the hope of being part of a mating flight.

    A primary focus for a drone is to mate with a queen. He waits high above the ground in a drone congregating area. If a queen flies by only slightly outside of the radar of this congregating area, she will go undetected. However, if she flies by and is noticed by a drone there's a chance of a mating encounter.

    During this mating activity, hundreds or even thousands of male bees will compete to mate with a queen. They don’t fight. They simply see who can fly closest to successfully mate.

    If you are serious about getting one, hang on a little bit unless you need one tomorrow. Rumor is DJI is getting ready to release a new model.

    Saturday night my buddy (owns a roofing business) was over and we were checking out my roof and found a bad gasket on one of our vent pipes. Told him to schedule us whenever they had an opening. He's buying a drone for his business now.

    Edit: Went and checked, had the pic on my laptop:

    The Mavic Pro is a solid option. We went with the GoPro Karma, as we already had the Hero5 camera and the drone body was not much to add on. GoPro has decided to get out of the drone game and is just selling off existing stock. The price was pretty good and made an easy choice. 

    I posted above, it looks like DJI is getting ready to release a new version of the Mavic Pro.

    If he does, let him know that Remote Pilot 101 is a great and inexpensive online tutorial program that will prep you for the Part 107 FAA exam. Got my certification earlier this year after taking it.

    He's already a licensed pilot, I think there is an accelerated program, or an exemption, can't remember.

    @lousubcap there’s a cougar bar in town I’m told has very similar mating rituals.

    Put some drone video from Saturday night on YouTube. This was just after we ate and before the drinking got serious. This is a GoPro Karma drone with a GoPro Hero5 Black camera.
