Pictures from the Monster Jam at the Metrodome.

Phil Herrington's home away from home for the weekend. He drove down from Boulder Colorado for the event.

I knew there was something strange about that remote...

The Land of the Couch Air Force (LOCAF) is better equipped than you might at first think.

Air-thingy General Jolly Mäh is running an air show to demonstrate our military prowess. Don't worry, it's for local consumption only. :o)

The yellow boat was piloted by a little kid, the blue boat by a middle aged man with a remote control that must have been built by NASA.

My old build of the Team Losi - GTX. The paint job is similar to the RC10, mostly because I had paint left over.

Trying different points of focus on the same scene, the table beside my reading chair in the LR

Carlos is Jen Chandler's boyfriend. He rules. In fact he rules so much he can make remote controlled boats.

Here, she is towing a model of an old Uboat (modelled of a type VII called Dusty Bin) advertising the club

The smallest such device I've ever seen. There is a small light bulb on top which is not lit in this photo. I assume it's an LED. You can see one of the black propellers poking out the side near the left rear landing strut.

A full on mixed boating day at the pond today Sat Feb 3rd 2018

Of course after I drew this I ended up watching 'The Picture Book' on BBC4.

The yellow marks are courtesy of my daughter, who decided to join in the drawing using highlighter.

Just playing with the focus and such on my new camera. Oh, do I love this thing. The camera, that is. Not the remote. I have no opinion of the remote.

I'm not sure how the blurred background with locked focus on the remote came to pass.

OK, story time. So a year (or maybe two) ago, I got some quite nice speakers, which have been dutifully producing sounds on behalf of my computer ever since. However, they were being driven by a 20 year old "AM/FM stereo receiver", which had some issues. For example, you couldn't adjust the bass while the speakers were active because it would make huge clicking noises (luckily I knew this and avoided subjecting my speakers to it). So, last week, I happened to be in Sydney visiting friends, and a Hi-Fi shop near their place had some gear on sale. Hence, I purchased a Cambridge Audio amp, which seems to sound better than my old one (no great surprise). This photo uses the amp's styrofoam packaging on the right as a reflector, with my SB-600 to the left. The "backdrop" is a protective bag the amp was in (inside its styrofoam padding), much nicer than the usual plastic used for this purpose.
