Behold a story of companionship
Of loss
Of discovery
Of hope
Of betrayal
Of disappointment
Of crime
Of forgiveness and the desire to make things right
The end

Last year, I had the idea to make a Santa Sleigh I could fly beneath my drone. This ended up not happening as my computer was away for repairs. This year, I don't have that problem.
Here's the cad model, drawn up based on some clip art I found.
Everything needs to be outlines to minimise air resistance, and keep it as light as possible.
As you can see, this Santa is being made with an Australian twist.
Here's the Santa in print:
And the first "Boomer" (Kangaroo)
Several hours of printing later, and it was time to stick it together. Wanting strength, I used skewers, even though they were a little thicker than I originally planed for.
I'm balancing the roos on the back, to make sure
It must be wide enough to not confuse the drone's downward sensor.
The morning of Christmas Eve, I awoke to this weather forecast.
I proceeded with final assembly anyway. There were gaps in the clouds, it was only bucketing down some of the time.
The strings need to be equidistant from the balance point, and all the same length.
Launch has to be done very carefully. Going to have to fly very smoothly to prevent twisting.
It flies!
I took it down to the park.
Here is the view from the air:
Maybe if the weather holds, there'll be people in the park to see it.
Merry Christmas!

Hmm, that’s so interesting they didn’t know about the photos going out until all hell broke loose. It does bring me a bit of validation though because when those photos initially came out I did think; hmm, that seems a bit unprofessional to just photo dump a million pics like that (i assumed she was the event photographer and usually they’d post photos tagging everyone) but I didn’t give it another thought bc maybe there were signs or entry notices saying photos will be taken and published and by entering the venue you give consent to this.
Because it’s hard to get every single person to sign a waiver. I work in film and when we shoot in public (generally for news programs or internet videos where we can’t shut down a location) we have signs and notices that say “beyond this point you may be on filmed, if you do not wish to be filmed please speak to a crew member.” Idk how it works for events and photographers but my little filmie brain immediately went uhh is this allowed?
oh how very interesting…. im glad theyre talking about it if only to clear the air.

Yep, that's the story!
The thing of it is, how did they not know going into it that if a photographer running an event full of influencer types is running around taking photos all night, 10:1 odds are those photos will wind up somewhere? I'm surprised by how surprised they are by that lol.
I definitely agree with the waiver thing, and I am honestly surprised that there wasn't a sign somewhere. Maybe there was one, and they missed it. Our boys have been very upfront about the fact that they desperately need glasses 🤣.
It was interesting to hear them actually mention it at all, but to me, it's like...I don't know. Coming out and almost apologizing for being 27 year olds who hook up and date around and don't clear it with their fanbase before it goes public is so...not impressive to me. Also, mixed in with all of that, you've got both of them talking about some really heavy topics, but all anybody cares about is how snc need to apologize for cheating on the fandom or whatever. It's annoying sometimes 🙃.
Anyway, loving the add-on to the sign-off there, Aussie anon! You're becoming quite the celeb around these parts!

In personal skating news: we got our forecasts for next term and if I skate well in 2 weeks I should pass and go in to freeskate 3B/4B.
So I have just under 2 weeks to get my backwards 3 turns and 2 different step patterns looking less crap. *crosses fingers and toes *

After she wouldn't let me get the Top Paw ones on her feet, we got Non-stop Dogwear booties at the local small shop! We lost them a few times but I was emboldened to let her go through as much muck and old dirty snow as her heart desired.
I want to add an extra wide strap above the ankle if I can...anyone tried that?

When Jojojlion eventually gets animated David productions better take the oppurtunity to use the Peking Duk version of 'I want you' as the outro
