Northern Virginia Roll Call

I bought a drone. Does that make me a real “overlander” now?

 

Oh wait. I need my dedicated overlander YouTube channel first.

 

I was literally just sitting here thinking I need a drone...

 

Good looking out! I’m gonna get some since now I’ll have a softopper again, and my totes don’t need to be waterproof.

 

How much was this?!

 

$399 for the drone. I got the combo pack with case, prop protectors and extra batteries and charger for $499.

If anyone watches, demolition ranch/ off the ranch got sponsored by mavic, I think there is a 5% off in the link in today’s video description. Not much but it’s something haha

 

So I just started playing around with hand engraving and I've learned that I'm definitely not a natural at this. It is a LOT harder than I was expecting but it is a lot of fun too.

This is the second coin I've messed with...much better than the first.

 

Damn, that's a huge improvement already over the first coin. Looking good.

 

Yeah I need to practice drawing scrolls on paper to make it look a little better. (Along with a million other things...)

 

It's slow this morning on TacomaWorld.

 

Naked chicks?

 

I bumped the freezer temp up to fridge levels (40f) and it was still running at 5am this morning. Really impressed that it ran as long as it did before the fridge shut itself down when the aux battery dropped to 11VDC. AND impressed that the little bit of sun we had yesterday between thunderstorms powered up the aux battery from the two 100w panels to then run all afternoon and night.

 

I want hand engraved trucker mud flaps.

 

I've been working for a bit while also trying to wrap this skid painting project so I can enjoy a weekend of little to no labor and maybe even some excitement for a Monday install!

 

Of course

 

I run these totes in the bed all the time and have never had any water get in. Not saying they can be dropped in a lake, but the lip hangs over so far that for all intents and purposes, they are waterproof

 

Good morning VA. Anyone down to meet up tomorrow in Manassas at the burger king?

 

What time were you thinking of going?

 

I'm still in PA but I'd love to do the next one of these!
