It’s been windy of late, noticeably windy according to the weather forecasters. Too windy to fly the drone for the most part. This morning was a beautiful sunrise, as captured by my Pi camera and that got me thinking about flying. I had to reposition the Pi camera several times last week due to it being moved around by the wind. And that got me thinking about not flying.
This afternoon, the sun peaked out for a bit and my caution over flying in the wind abated to the point that I dragged my drone from its resting place, blew the dust off it as it had been sitting around for several weeks and sent it up.
I went up to 141 feet in altitude and called it good enough. Did my traditional picture taking, and got caught in a shower that I knew was coming but had not paid any attention to while flying. Found out that my drone will come down like a somewhat buoyant rock when asked. These things are not waterproof but won’t melt when wet either. 
The leaves are coloring up nicely. That is something I like about living in Minnesota. Kansas leaves sort of yellow up and then turn brown. But then Kansas generally doesn’t get below zero and 100 inches of snow that lasts until late April.
