Sorry Tony haven't got around to the video yet and I'm going away for a week, so I hope you will settle for some stills ?

I got seven heli flights in today in perfect conditions, best flying day for ages. My flying buddy even turned up.
Gave the grass it's final cut of the year once I got home, far too wet for cutting really but it's probably not going to get any dryer for months so I had to get it done.

Today I went out in the studio and ACTUALLY cleaned off the work bench. Then, I shot a blog video that I will be uploading very soon regarding Ad Blockers. This I feel needed to be addressed.
Finally, I shot the video on setting up the Ikon2. This is a very basic setup video. I did not show how to reprogram the switches or the channels on my DX9, that will be in a later video. I also did not show the helicopter or pitch gauge when setting up the tail or the head. I have covered these in many videos. But at the end of the video I did say that if people wanted these videos specifically on the Ikon2, I would go back out there and make it. It was just getting too hot out there and the wasps were getting pretty bad.
I may just end up reshooting that video because of some of the things that happened during the video. For example, I changed the servo for the tail, but forgot that this new servo is 760 and not 1520. I damn near burnt up that servo... And my cyclic pitch is different one way than it is the other, and you adjust them together. This even though I was at 0º of pitch. Not sure what is going on there...
Time to start editing...

My old smartphone was starting to act a little flakey ( screen flickering while charging and other little things )... Since my business relies on my phone... I upgraded to a new Moto Z2 Play. Spent the afternoon and evening reloading my apps and installing updates.
This will be the first time I didn't go with the flagship phone ( the Z2 Force ) since I didn't need duel rear cameras nor 64Gb of storage since I don't store many photo's and any music on my phones... I still have almost 1/2 of the 32Gb left and I'll upload any good pics I have once I choose which ones to keep. The size only increased slightly ( now 5.5" ) from my old one but the thickness is almost 1/2 of what the older one was... Thanks to the all metal frame, there is no flex in the phone at all.

Received a nice load of Hickory wood already split the other day and decided to go ahead and do the first smoke with said wood. Bad part is the wood is still pretty green, but is good enough to smoke with as long as you fire it up and get a lot of coal going before you put the meat on. So I piled the fire box up and absolutely packed that poor thing full of wood and set it on fire. After about 2 hours and adding more wood, I had a good bed of coals and on went the meat.
Today we are smoking a Picnic roast. For those that don't know, that is the leg part of a pig just below the shoulder. Makes some of the best pulled pork you have ever had. I just put it on there about 30 minutes ago and she is smoking away. I can't wait until this is done. I love this wood and I love that cut of meat. Can't wait until I get my new smoker built... That is going to be awesome!

I got home today to a very nice surprise. My wonderful husband Aaron, picked up an early Christmas gift for me. It was waiting in the living room when I got home from work. I have played drums since I was like 12, and he plays guitar. Lately, I have shown an interest in wanting to learn to play the bass. So He bought THIS for me. 
Ibanez GSR-200 bass. Let the fun begin. Hahaha.. I hadn`t even cleaned up from work yet.
