Why *I* Don’t Catch my Drone
Recently I was asked “When do you choose to catch your drone vs landing your drone?” Catching a drone in midflight seems to be a badge of honor amongst some drone pilots and the reasoni…

This is pure bullshit. An average man's step is less than 3' and modern Americans are taller than the Roman soldiers were.
Your Bi-Mart has a better selection of powder than the two I have been to in the last week.
If it makes you feel better, the next one about the railroad gauge is also bull shit. I don’t even need to click it to know. Welcome to the internet.
The Latin 'mille' means 1000, and the mile comes from the expression "mille passum", literally meaning 1000 paces.
A Roman mile is shorter than a modern mile, about 4860 feet. If we take a pace as right foot to right foot, we get a stride of 2' 5". Based on skeletal remains of Roman Soldiers the average height was 5' 7". The average height of a US male today is 5' 9". So not such a huge difference.
So, in fact a roman mile was 1000 paces. Please play again sometime.
He said an average Roman soldier's step was 5.28 feet. Then went into some Latin jabber.
The Roman had to be 12-14' tall. How do you say he can fuck off and die in Latin?
When the RC community went wild over multi-rotor drones and RC helicopters about 8 or 10 years ago, the community started seeing multiple laceration injuries and even one death attributed to nylon/plastic propellers and carbon lay up rotor blades. Quite a few people lost parts of their hands and injury to the face, eyes and ears because they were too lazy to remove the propellors and rotor blades when working on their toys. A young man allowed his 700 size helicopter too close to himself and lopped a part off the top of the young man's skull killing him. People don't realize how powerful our flying brush-hogs and bladed weed-eaters really are.

This is my oldest car, a 1927 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. It has a straight six 7.4-liter engine and a four-speed manual transmission. The engine produces 80 horsepower at 2,250 RPM. This car can easily cruise at 65 MPH and keep up with modern traffic. This car has a polished aluminum body. A few cars were made in this style during the 1920’s, matching airplanes of the era. The first owner was Lord Shuttleworth of Gawthorpe Hall, Burnley. It was restored in Australia in 1980, purchased from a London dealer in 2021, and brought to Blanco, Texas and I drive it every day!

You know life is good when the Patriot Post has meme’s like these
In the context of measuring distances, a "pace" is defined as the distance covered by two normal walking steps, from the heel of one foot to the heel of the same foot where it next touches the ground.
He should of used PACE.
Printed up some mag blocks for the T1X and 10/22s.
4020 is a '70 and 5020 is a '69.
These belong to a relative I don't cross paths with very often.
Last time I saw these tractors before yesterday was around 10 years ago at the beginning of their restoration and were scattered all over the shop in bits and pieces.
One of his latest projects and a model I'd never seen or even heard of before today....
a '72 6030. Predecessor to the 4840.
And finally, a bit of AG scrap art...

This is bullshit... The Silver Ghost production ended in 1925... with a couple being madein 1926.
By 1927, they were well in to the Phantom 1 production. To my knowledge, no polished bodies went to British Lords. They all went to India because the Maharajah's liked their bling. And paint did not hold up well in the Indian sun. No self-respecting Englishman would polish coachwork. Except the bonnet. Because engine heat could damage paint. So until better lacquer formulations came along, polished bonnets were not uncommon (though not the rule, either).
With a bit of research, this is 122AU. Was previously 48TM. My Ghost is 27 TM. Cunard body. So this is a '24 Ghost with modern reproduction coachwork by Reeves.
Was recently sold by Classic Promenade... a dealership in Phoenix/Scottsdale.
These pictures are all over Facebook right now with a bunch of folks claiming its their car. Mostly a bunch of beaners.
$298K asking was probably well-bought IF the engine and mechanicals were good. You could not build the body for that. And an engine rebuild for it starts at $75K. So better hope it's been done.
If any of you want a Ghost, it's a buyers market right now. I can set you up with some world class examples for short $$. No commission on my end. I just restore them. I am not some Arkansas used car hustler.
Cheers,

PS. If any of you want a real Maharajah Rolls... I can let you have my drophead PIII V12 ex- Parlekemundi Rolls for just 1.2 million. It has fitted cocktail glasses. And a hell of a history! One of you must own a call center and want to re-patriate a piece of Raj history!

I think it's cute that you think you can make a difference.
PSA: Try to avoid googling "finger in a dyke".
I was trying to find a place to restore some big, obsolete old ball-bearings for use in old car torque tubes. These things are 5" in diameter...I think it's cute that you think you can make a difference.
PSA: Try to avoid googling "finger in a dyke".
So I am going to tell you all. Once. Right now.
Do NOT Google Search on the term "Re-Balling."
Just 'sayin.
It affected me. I saw things. Horrible things. That I want to disappear. Like tears in the rain.
