Buy a drone! No IQ required!
My grandfather said, "Always use your head!".
I told him, "I want to pound nails!"
He said, "Best use a hammer instead."

I love it. Her only regrets are shooting it down over her pasture because she's gotten 2 flats on her tractor.

I understand the flats on the tractor ....usually about a 100 bucks every time . A little drone shooting would probably make for a pretty fun afternoon of shooting entertainment !!!

We should buy a few cheap-o's, let them hover and take some pop-shots at them. LOL

Sounds cool but I can't imagine a real tractor tire being punctured by all the plastic in a drone. Yeah, there's some metal, but not much. And a tractor tire is way thicker/tougher than that soft grass/dirt in a farm field. What you run over usually ends up getting pushed down into the dirt.

I didn't know he'd moved (not that I follow that stuff). At one time I'd heard he lived over around Charlottesville.

He's been in the Middleburg, VA area for quite some time. He'll occasionally show up at one of the bars in town. I've never seen him, but restaurant employees I've spoken to say he just wants to be treated like any other person. No diva-like behavior whatsoever.

I love the comments "THAT IS AGAINST FAA REGULATIONS!"

Uh-huh...and there are some folks that are MORE than happy to be "SCOTUS TEST CASES" on privacy!

Won't go anywhere.

Have you noticed that? If they KNOW a regulation is "illegal/unconstitutional" they don't press the issue? Yeah, I've noticed it.
