While not uncommon to have shitty conditions this time of year, we usually have gotten more snow by now and lost it. I don't think we've had more than 16" fall here so far this year.

The 3rd round was another 6" that has been pounded down to snirt in alot of spots. They're running the trail behind us non stop for almost 2 weeks now and this morning is no exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Random thought for the day, stolen of the FB: Ford: let's make our Mustang a four door and electric. And we should also make our trucks less truck like with an electric motor. Chevy: we should make our C8 Corvette a electric hybrid. Also we should change the logo to move into the electric car age Dodge: *bumps coke off a stripper's ass*. We could put a fucking Hellcat motor in a fucking minivan. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really gunshy when it comes to letting it out of my site because my last drone was so unreliable. I can see now these dji drones are way ahead of all the other consumer hobby grade drones.

Big Crappie Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Flew the drone out to our fish house, about 1 mile away. Went perfect. I made a gif of a little piece of video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of the rule of thirds in photography Here's one that I lucked in to late this afternoon. Clarksville, NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crappie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I cut a 2 minute clip of the flight out to my fish house. Not to bad. I need to get used to the flight controls. They are very touchy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Redpolls finally showed up in our yard. They are only around during winters when the seed crops in the northern boreal forests are poor. This is an Irruption Year for them here in the northeast. Do you guys see them at your feeders in the Midwest? @SnowRider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
