Helicopters

I spent the day doing helicopter maintenance, the ECO 8 I fly the most had developed a shake in the tail boom.  After changing the feathering axle, the blade holder bearings and the main rotor shaft it is running smooth again.  One of my other helicopters was having a gyro issue, so I broke down and read the instructions, made some adjustments and it is working OK now.  I wanted to make some changes in the programming for this one, but the transmitter battery ran down before I got it done.  Every once in a while, I would take a break from the helicopters and watch some football, only one game out of the three I watched went the way I wanted.  When things got too bad during the games, I would watch Wipeout or Mythbusters.

 Once when I went out to check on my batteries that were charging, I noticed the doe and her two fawns having and apple snack.  Vera and I watched them for a bit, then I went in and got a camera for a few pictures.

It looked like a full moon on my last trip out to lock the shop and motor home, so I got the new camera out and took some more pictures.  The craters were really showing up tonight.

There were lots of stars out, so I had to try getting a picture of them, by resting the camera on the roof of the Blazer and using a 4 second exposure, this is what I got.
