I didn't think to check the altitude, but at a guess I'd say 75 feet or so. It's capable of saving to my phone, I just need to figure that out. At the moment, I just pop the SD card out of the drone and download them to the computer. Better that way anyway, as I'd have to send them from the phone to...

Playing with the drone some more. Pretty impressed with the camera, especially at the price point. Next step is to check out the video function.

I have one that I ONLY use for Amazon purchases. I pay it off in full every month as it's a Chase card and the interest is stupid. The only reason I even have it is for the 5% back on Amazon purchases. And speaking of Amazon, I will NOT be renewing my Prime membership that I've had for years. It's b...

New Harbor Freight store opened in town. Nearest one used to be in Bangor, 60+ miles away and I could easily resist going there unless I really NEEDED something. This one is in Ellsworth, and I'm there at least once a week. I stopped in today for the "grand opening" and walked out a tad ov...

Finalized the deal yesterday - no longer my problem. Too much work for a truck I don't need and daughter doesn't want (doesn't do manual transmissions). I'll store it here for a few days while he gets his shop ready and he understands that it's HIS problem now. When he decides what to do about the f...

My phone (and I suspect most phones these days) takes very nice pictures, but they're HUGE - 2 or 3 megabytes, if not more.

I usually reduce them to 10% of original size and even then some require further tweaking.

I've looked all over my phone and don't see anything on how to resize. Never had to resize anywhere else. Email the picture to yourself—it will ask you what size you want it to be… small should be fine, medium may be small enough, but might not be, either. When your mail comes, download that versio...

There is a size limit, you may have to resize. I keep mine under 50k

This Summer's Big Project is to rip out and reseed the South half of the front lawn. I've been meaning to do it for a couple of years, but this year the skunks have absolutely destroyed it digging up grubs. That and the fact that it was 90% weeds, plus a HUGE berm of road sand had it looking like he...
