Lee, I know what you mean bro. When my internet was out at the house, I was LOST! lmao. Thankfully, I had my cell phone. And when the forum goes down. the only sanity I have is knowing that I can work on the server or bitch to the host lmao. Otherwise, I would be pulling the hair out of my arms (no hair on my head lmao, not enough anyway...)
Jeff, I have not made it to your thread yet, but I will. I'm hoping it's not as bad as I'm thinking, but I'm afraid it is. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP! That is the key to this game.
And Randy, you can keep your mud. My Camaro doesn't do well in the stuff lmao. As for being a pain... NEVER. We love helping out people on the forum, that is the whole reason we are here. No matter what the question, post It up. We are here to get you going.

Okay, so I get off work Friday morning, come home and go to bed, thinking I will sleep from 0800 to about 1400. Yeah, nice wish. I was woke up about 0930 by my kids that don't know how to keep quiet. Ah well, lets get some stuff done since I'm up.
So we plan out our day, wait for the kids to get picked up (threw a party on this one...) and we are out the door. we hit Harbor freight to pick up a couple saw blades for my circular saw as well as my table saw for the acrylic, plus some zip ties that are always needed with Rc projects (they were on sale, bonus!), some squares for the sump I'm building and we bounce.
From there we went to Wet Pets and I picked up the bulkheads and filter socks for the sump I'm building as well as some air line tubing and something else I'm forgetting. But, I have most of what I need to make this sump a reality.
Then we head across town, while on our way we see a 4 car wreck. Yup, a car hit a truck, then another car hit that car, and another, and finally, another! It was the most hilarious wreck I have seen in a while, looked like an accordion lmao.
So we make it to Lowes and in there we pick up a new sink faucet, one with the sprayer in the head, and only the lift valve since we are getting a new faucet for RO water from my new system, a new coffee pot (without all the calcium, damn hard water) and some new plastic durlin screws for the sump.
From there, we head to wally world, eat some Micky D's, pick up a fan for my over heating aquarium, a splitter for the water filter, a CRAP TON of candy, and some other odds and ends.
We then realize that we didn't pick up the 6' Dryer cord, so we head back to lowes. We get that, and yeah, this is when we got the faucet since I wanted to see walmarts prices. After those two things, we are out! I think that was it anyway lmao.
So we get home, I start putting the cord on the dryer (we stacked them, washer on bottom, dryer on top) and get it put into position. Then I hook, up everything for the ro/di system that I purchased not only for the tank, but also the family for clean drinking water (if you have seen my sediment filter after only 5 hours of filtering water, you would puke lmao, damn well water)
I drill my 55 gallon barrel and get the water going. Then we clean off my well housing for the house water pump, shut the water off, and I replace the faucet in the kitchen. I would have just used the shut off valve under the sink, but the cold side is stuck open, go figure. Get the new faucet on, WINNING!
Start on cleaning the house some more, by this time, it's about midnight, and my back and legs tell me I'm not doing any more. So we head to bed.
So, 1.5 hours of sleep, going non stop all day long, and finally in bed just in time to completely screw up my sleeping schedule. That was about 0200 when we went to bed. Fast forward to a hot house, a new VERY plush bed, and I'm sitting up in bed at 0500 sweating my ass off. UGH, FINE!
I get up, take a shower to help my back and clear my sinuses, and also to cool off (when you get out, it's cold! lmao). Now, it's 0620 (time of this post), I just took a sleeping pill, and waiting for it to kick in. I guess it's true, I can sleep when I'm dead lmao. But yeah, you just read all of this because that is how bored I am waiting on the pill to kick in. Now to try to get some sleep and do it all over again later today!

Well its finally a beautiful day here and no heli to fly er...crash
- - - Updated - - -
Yes buddy I am afraid it went real bad, it looks in my video like I was trying to fly it, but I had no intentions of going anywhere but a few feet off the ground in a hover, but other than the first few seconds that I seemed to get it under control, it went wild on me, I was able to keep it away from me and the surroundings but not without slamming it down.
It was a hard lesson and now my feet have gotten wet, will be better next time. I hope! What I really need to do is find a club in my area with an expert so I don't have to keep learning the hard way $$$

Yes I saw your video after reading your post, was not pretty. I probably said the same thing you did when I saw it heading for the camper! I am going to refrain from a free flight for awhile when I get mine ready, I built one of the heli stands to try and get mine leveled out and hopefully under control before hand.
Tony it sounds like you had one of those days, I find if I am dead tired I can't sleep worth anything!
