I have been through many iterations and a lot of research to derive this system. Suggestions and Questions are welcome, please comment.

This one is really digging into the archives… Here are some pictures and specs of my first car (not my parent’s station wagon). I learned a lot and have many great memories from this car. I often joked, that I literally turned every bolt on this car. I didn’t have access to air tools either, all old fashion

Jaimie and I went camping at Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia last weekend. We tent camped at site #21 and Hikes around the lake the first evening. It was a beautiful day and was quite crowded around the lodge. The park is very well maintaned and the staff is very friendly.

It has been two weeks since my lasik surgey and I can’t believe I waited this long to have it done. My vision is still a little hazy but every day it gets sharper and sharper. It is absolutely amazing. If you are still wearing glasses, don’t wait another day… get it done!

I had so much fun the other day taking the video with my soarstar, I rushed out there today and look what I did…

I had been flying my Soarstar for a couple of months and finally decided to attach my Pentax Optio S6 camera too it. The easiest setup what to just strap it down and record video. Eventually I would like to setup a servo to take pictures.
