Spring is here! And with it flying. My goal is always 365 flight a year (1 flight is 1 battery). A little short in '24 cuz Dec was garbage here in SE MN. If i get in 7 today that will only put me at 28 flights so far this year - better get flying!

A flight stand at a flying field. On the stand is a yellow Delta RC plane 48-inch wingspan. On the ground is a red, white and blue 36 inch wingspan RC plane, commonly referred to as a stick. A box fuselage with a straight wing on top of the fuselage.

People need to understand what this budget the Republicans have proposed for the long term would mean in their everyday lives.

So what are they using this Medicaid cut money for? They're using this to give tax cuts to a bunch of billionaires.

I left and returned. "Nonplussed" is a word, right?

Republican politicians passed a bill to defund Medicare / Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars.

But don't worry - they'll keep their sweet taxpayer-funded health coverage. And GOP Sugar Daddy Elon Musk will get his tax cuts…

Finally getting around to repairing a not insignificant mishap from spring 2023. Really want to get her back in the air this year.

Got 'em! 6th (and maybe final ☹️) time for me, over a span of 39 years. 1986 with Tom Petty was #1. Not a lot, I know, but there's a lot of life lived in there. #dylan

These people are not serious, and I don't mean they're joking, I mean they shouldn't be taken seriously and they're not serious about governing. Mike Collins shouldn't be leading a sing-a-long at a 4th of July picnic, much less leading any aspect of this (or any) country.

Maddie, 17, nearing the end, but still loving her cottage cheese juice.

Happy Caturday.

Grey tabby licking her chops. She has a ring of cottage cheese juice around the top of her face. There is a bowl in front of her with the remains of cottage cheese in it.

Today's RC build

Dreamboat. 46 inch (1.17 m). Short kit. Wonderful flier. Takes off and "lands" so easy.

RC aircraft grps on FB are a bit toxic, nonexistent elsewhere save for dedicated sites. Trying to foster RC flying interest here. I'll occasionally post pics of my aircraft and updates on what I'm building.

Today, Comet by Old School model works. #rcaircraft #rcairplane #rcflight #balsa #rcmodel

We have 5 cats. Here are the two that went out (briefly) this morning only to discover it's 5 degrees F (-15 C) outside. The black one is the new little brother. I'm nervously waiting for the calico to discover he's there and lose her shit. #cats
Two cats curled up in my lap, very pointedly not touching each other.
