Me flying my new RC plane…

First I’m flying my EasyStar with a brushless and then Isaac fly’s it.

After that it’s my new plane from superflyrc.com.

This is just nuts!! Is no the US supposed to be so advanced and tech-savvy? Europeans have faster access from their mobile phones than we do here. This is just CRAP.

DIGG.COM headline:
“The USA trails other industrialized nations in high-speed Internet access and may never catch up unless quick action is taken by public-policymakers, a report commissioned by the Communications Workers of America warns.” reports USAToday. Okay I understand the international speed difference, but Kansas is rated #1 at 4.1Mbps say it ain’t so.

Giant monkey crotch!

What on earth is this?
Therapy is for sure going to be needed for kids playing around this.

From the Digg.com post.
“And you thought they were impartial? Catch this MSNBC.com list of people who cheer from the pressbox, from both the right and the left. See the lame excuse the New York Times ethicist gives for his against-company-policy donation to MoveOn.org, and how one New Yorker writer compares his anti-Bush donation to a hypothetical anti-Hitler WWII effort.”

Hot and painful weekend.

Man, we are just packing all kinds of stuff into this weekend.

On friday when I came home from work my leg and my ankle was swollen up…  and my foot was hurting like there was no tomorrow. Barb checked it out and lit looked like a infected plantar wart. So I/we started soaking and picking on it and afterwards it was more painful than before.

So to the doctor I went yesterday… wow I thought the pain I had after picking on it while soaking was the worst pain ever, nope. The doc stuck a needle into the middle of the already irritated wart, he did warn me that it was going to hurt but I did not expect that kind of pain. HOLY SHIT!!!! it was like stepping on a hot rusty nail and moving it around it the hole!!! After that he took a scalpel and started to cut back on the wart..  slicing out pieces until it was bleeding (apparently at the point of bleeding he reached healthy flesh). Then came the industrial size liquid nitrogen freezer. He froze it 3 time until I the top of my foot felt cooler and commented I want to freeze it good so it will blister the entire area of the wart.

As I was limping out he says if it’s not gone in two weeks to come back. I sure hope it will be gone for his sake.

I got home and took some painkillers….  slept away one of the best flying days of the season. Sucks.

And today I’ll have to start cleaning the basement since we have a big garbage container in our driveway….  while still having a very soar foot.

It’s not even 11 am and temp is 82 degrees out there.

OO-OO’s memorial flyby

Active week…

Wow..  where do I begin?

OO-OO one of the veteran flyers at the RC field suffered a heart attack on tuesday and passed away…  That really sucks! He was a really nice guy and helped me out a lot, taught me how to fly and always greeted me and had a smile on. I’ll miss him.

Today we bought new patio furniture…  and my boss loaned me his truck so I could haul it back home. Also bought a racing wheel for my xbox 360! That rocks!

Just minutes ago Barb came downstairs and started asking about a Nintendo Wii….  She heard that it was so much fun. So we ordered a Wii. :)

I also received a new plane..  a Superfly and got a new brushless motor.  And on top of that it has been the windiest week ever! No flying sucks.

I also wish that my brother would get back to me about their trip here…  so we can make preparations.
