THERE’S some good fortune that early this morning isn’t windy and the sun’s out – it means not only do I get out for a paddle but I get to test the HOVERAir Aqua drone that arrived yesterday after nearly a year’s wait.
I backed the aqua project on Indiegogo when it was launched and shipping was scheduled for October-December. Needless to say things fell behind and shipping only just started in the last couple of weeks. Now it’s here.
The drone seems to work pretty well but I don’t have time to check when I get back – a quick shower and breakfast before my pal Kevin arrives. We chat over a few coffees and come up with a plan for the release of his next single, Tell Me. Coming 15 May.
Kevin heads off early afternoon and I check out the drone video from earlier and edit some clips together with some talking head I recorded on my phone. Still haven’t worked out how to record audio with the drone footage.
Next job is to repair the front garden fence. I’ve already marked where the new posts need to go so it’s a case of digging the holes, breaking through rock and postcrete-ing them in. Luckily Margaret’s back with the shopping and can hold the post in place while I screw some temporary supports in before postcrete-ing.
