[14:31] <rick_h> Morning
[14:32] <cmaloney> morning
[14:33] <cmaloney> rick_h: Saw your drone footage. Very cool!
[14:33] <cmaloney> Did you send a note to the FAA to let them know you were flying? (curious how that works)
[14:33] <rick_h> cmaloney: so I call a control tower when I'm at home.
[14:33] <rick_h> I'm in 5miles from Oakland airport
[14:33] <cmaloney> Ah, OK
[14:34] <rick_h> Up there on the lake there wasn't any aviation stuff to worry about
[14:34] <cmaloney> Ah, got it
[14:34] <cmaloney> Any strange looks from folks? :)
[14:34] <rick_h> So I've got a series of drone apps that map out airports, helipads, etc
[14:34] <rick_h> So some other boats I passed waved but no. No one really did anything.
[14:35] <rick_h> I think it's off since it could be anywhere on the lake. They've got a > 3mi range
[14:35] <rick_h> So not a lot of folks probably knew it was me sitting a long way away on a lawn chair
[14:35] <cmaloney> heh
[14:35] <cmaloney> Surprised I didn't see more hovering around the family
[14:35] <rick_h> So was my way to have some lake fun
[14:36] <rick_h> The family was the folks on the jetski
[14:36] <cmaloney> (gives new meaning to helicopter parenting)
[14:36] <cmaloney> Yeah
[14:36] <rick_h> Have a lot more footage but tried to cut something to music for the first time.
[14:36] <rick_h> Lol @ helicopter parenting
[14:37] <rick_h> Not going to lie, lots of him on the kayak tracking how he did. First time he's taken it out on his own
[14:38] <cmaloney> That's awesome
[14:38] <cmaloney> I can see the schoolyear now:
[14:38] <rick_h> Yea he had fun
[14:38] <cmaloney> *whirrr* "I don't hear any cleaning in here, Michael; are you cleaning your room?" *whirr*
[15:42] <jrwren> wow! out on his own in the kayak! how old is he now?
[17:21] <rick_h> jrwren: 7
