Pond, Hexacopter and Moon

One of the first things I noticed this morning was the ponds were icing up.  Just before lunch I went out and took pictures of them, then I went in and had a fried bacon and egg lunch that Vera had fixed.  Boy did it taste good!
I covered the bottom of one wing for the Pilatus Porter this afternoon.  When I took a break from covering I finished up the hexacopter, I had been putting a new flight controller in it to replace the one that was temperature sensitive.  After I figured out how to arm it, I did a test flight in the driveway.  It worked great and today was a good test because it never got above freezing.
I went back to the shop for a while this evening and got the hinges glued into one aileron of the Porter.  On the way into the house I saw the moon was really bright, so I got the camera and used the moon scene setting to get some pretty good pictures.  I was dressed warmer this time so I took more pictures but it turned out the first picture tonight was the best one and I liked it better than yesterday's so I included it here.
