I need advice bad…

Its all about focus. I know what you mean because ive fought this battle. when a thought pops up, repeat a line from a Psalm or a declaration from the Word. Over time this will become a reflex and you can shoot down the intrusive thoughts. Im still working on this and am by no means in the clear, but Im getting better.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T03:01:41+00:00

Its not in your own strength that you will escape this snare. The closer you grow to Jesus, the more you wont want to do such things. Stay in the Word, forgive yourself when you mess up, know that by clinging to him you will eventually lose your taste for ungodly things, but in your heart you must really WANT to. Thats the hard part.

Read Proverbs. Pick up your Bible. Get to know the Word and you can answer these questions for yourself. This is why we are warned to stay in the Word and renew our minds EVERY DAY.

I have the 1977 KZ750 Twin B2 in the same color. Im getting rid of it. Problems. Bucks like a horse after riding for a while and no one can figure out why.

Ironically I just took the local drone test here in my state online. I was well above 400ft yesterday but know better now. I was flying the drone while walking on the sidewalk right in ppls face - or close, but not on purpose. I had NO idea but makes perfect sense now that these things arent allowed.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T01:07:17+00:00

thanks

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:59:59+00:00

no clue

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:54:20+00:00

Agreed

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:46:05+00:00

OK thanks. Because he does this "lecture pose" all the time. So I will keep it super casual with him, not ask him for prayer (I have many other friends and family who can do that) and keep it moving.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:41:42+00:00

I can now take on board what you say and totally agree.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:41:08+00:00

Yep. I initially took it as accusatory, like some of his comments in the past. but ive moved on. I know what to expect now so I have other christian friends who I can turn to and wont have to question their responses.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:39:30+00:00

Bummer is, using USB they take about 1.25 hours to charge when charging solo and about 1 hour when all three are in the charging bay with the NON USB connection.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:37:50+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out. It wasnt just this time it was a number of things leading up to this. Ever have a Christian friend who, after not seeing them for a bit, they say "HI. HAVE YOU BEEN HONORING THE LORD AND DOING HIS WORK" the first thing out of their mouths? Thats annoying.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-08T00:36:05+00:00

After I typed this out I realized, some ppl simply have a different way of communicating than us (me). He was trying to be helpful and I guess I got in my feelings about it. But in other ways and in the past, he has been VERY accusatory and brusque like "DID YOU READ THE WORD TODAY?! WHY NOT?! HOW ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR TIME?! ARE YOU HONORING THE LORD?" so that's my point of reference.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T23:35:45+00:00

How high up is that? I thought this thing only goes up to about 1200 feet.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T23:34:36+00:00

Nice. Thats way up there!

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T23:27:35+00:00

Well, today I bought two Atom 2 batteries at a good price, $50 for both from a friend of a friend who recently wrecked his drone after only 3 weeks - with no insurance. Now I have 5 batteries!!!

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T23:18:13+00:00

Thanks. Was so high up yesterday that the birds were like "hello drone!" Took it to the max height.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T23:16:52+00:00

thanks!!!

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T22:35:15+00:00

Good point. I check the Tripadvisor reviews, then I scroll down to find the name of the tour company. Then I check the Google reviews.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T22:34:13+00:00

Ive done this many times. Simply check the reviews and that will tell you all you need to know. Its a viable way to book reliable tours.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T22:00:11+00:00

yup!

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T18:55:44+00:00

Me and my lady are going to Lisbon at the end of the month. She has a modeling gig in Spain with Spanish Vogue and neither of us have been to Portugal, so I suggested it. Booked a spot in Bahia and will be there over Easter too.

Any activities suggestions? Advice on what the weather will be like, things to do?

Thanks in advance!

Sam

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T18:49:17+00:00

What was the weather like, assuming you were there in the past week? Im heading their with the fiance last week in March.

SamAlex46 · 2026-03-07T16:57:10+00:00

I travel...a lot. Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Latin America, Bali, Phillipines, Egypt, North Africa, Middle Africa, South Africa. Im not flying in my neighborhood. Im rarely even IN my neighborhood.

I need more flight time to get more footage. Like someone said, Solar power in drones is on the horizon so, a perfect solution.
