I didn't get a 7 ft net, but I did get a place outside those ugly fenced gardens for the bags.

It's called the Fader 2 drone and it's a step up from a kids toy I'm pretty sure. It's free though, so I'm just hoping it will get up above the trees and let me take some shots of the valley down below my house. If I like it and I don't crash it all the time because of the way my hands shake, I'll see about getting a real one down the road. Having one that has some range to it would be cool as I am pretty close to the Appalachian trail and Blue Ridge Parkway as the crow flies and could get some great fall foliage shots. Here's a screenshot of what it is

Cool... hope it serves you well!.. Range.. I really think my Mavic Air 1 had more range than this Mavic Air2... I used to go out 4 miles easily with it. I'd just set the Return to Home button and set the remote down, and walk up to the house to get a cool beverage. It will take a topography pic when it takes off, and GPS info, and land right where it took off without me doing anything but watch it do it's thing. I can do tracking with it... a person, a vehicle, and it will just do it, all along with obstacle avoidance. I can command it with my hands... makes me feel like Darth Vader.

Hell, four miles would really put me out over things. I could buzz my neighbors cattle lol. I'd just need about half of that to do some pretty amazing stuff I think. I could see both sides of the ridge from there and out to the horizon to the East and West due to the elevation. The wind gets tricky up there so I'm sure that's a factor you have to consider too as far as when it's safe to fly them. I just need my wife's co workers to keep puffing those cancer sticks and I'm in business. Thankfully, they're too lazy to take the points and turn them in so she grabs them for me.

" I'd appreciate it if you didn't cuss in front of my boy".

Yeah, its really amazing how much wind the MA2 can take and be super stable. I even went up in 35-45 mph ground speeds to check out a local wild fire .. stead as a rock. .. and the winds aloft are much higher, I'd say that by the time I reached 300 ft, I was fighting 55mph winds. .... steady.

"There is NO WAY. NO WAY that you come from my loins" LOL! Love that classic." I'd appreciate it if you didn't cuss in front of my boy".

That's awesome, that's what we can get up on the ridge on a windy day for sure. That's why they like paragliding all over the Blue Ridge.

Not a chance in hell!! He does that frustrated, angry redneck role so well and yet somehow he comes out funny and likeable. I have to admit it, I watch it like at least twice a year minimum. It was the movie that hooked me on cars and on Pontiac's specifically. If I had the funds, I'd have a 77-79 TA. Probably Blue because I'm just weird that way but it would have 600 HP at least so the color wouldn't matter too much.

It's kinda like Seinfeld, M.A.S.H., those episodes are classic and never get old.

MASH, there's another great one. I must have watched every one of those when I was a kid. My dad loved them. I didn't get some of the humor until I watched them again when I was older in re-runs. I hate to sound like a grouchy old man but there's just no comedy like that anymore.

No... there's not. It's a lost art. I've been watching Seinfeld, and MASH for all of my life. Too much bullshit these days on TV. I got like 450 channels of shit I don't even wanna watch.

Seinfeld was hit or miss for me, sometimes I'd be on the floor just dying laughing and others I just didn't get it. My parents loved every episode, especially my mom. If you tried to talk during that show, you got "the look". The one that every old school mom had to just freeze you in place.
