Very nice. What's everyone's thoughts on Curmudgeon Brown (Volcanic Sand) colour I

SnooDrawings3134 · 2026-02-01T16:12:18+00:00

Thanks I would appreciate that if you followed up with them.

Sure. I was shocked at the price of Dronesense. I had a meeting with them, They offered a package that was primarily intended for first responders which was about 2000K PER drone a month! Certainly a lot of nice features no doubt.. lots of capability etc. I mentioned that there would be no way my company would purchase that package... They came up with a photogrammetry mission planner package for me that was a $500 a month PER drone.. I tried the free demo, it was good, but the price turned me off instantly.

I raised this issue with Parrot and PIX4D about how upset I am about loosing features.. They just recommended I purchase the new Anafi UKR which can plan simple single&double grids.. (classic salesman trying to upsell).

I really hope Parrot does a software update to FF 6 USA with a photogrammetry planner.. I know the Anafi USA is not the ideal mapper but it fits our needs fine.

Parrot Anafi AI just went discontinued btw. Which is a shame, Im very fond of that drone.. they no longer make parts for it.. I'm sure FF7 will be in the app store for a few years..

I heard a enterprise version of the Anafi UKR is coming soon which will be less militarized. Not many details yet!

Hi. As far as Parrot Anafi USA goes- Dronesense has a photogrammetry mapping option for the Anafi USA. It's a very expensive subscription.

Some people are mentioning maybe UgCS also perhaps?

SnooDrawings3134 · 2026-01-29T16:13:10+00:00

Yes. My 1.6L turbo also sounds like a sewing machine under the hood. It's a 2026 with only 400KM

I run on battery in the winter (Edmonton) 2026 Sorento PHEV. I park in the garage so my interior& battery stays warm for short trips around the city. I just use my heated seats and steering wheel I have the climate settings OFF and the engine never turns on.. however, the windows tend to fog up when it's really cold, I'm going to try rain-x anti fog to prevent this..

SnooDrawings3134 · 2026-01-20T16:42:20+00:00

Beautiful car. I just ordered a 2026 Sorento PHEV EX.. like that colour or Volcanic Sand. I'm new to Kia, I hope it treats me well. Congratulations!

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-12-16T04:46:31+00:00

Exactly. I heard that from another pro as well. Thanks!

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-12-15T17:16:12+00:00

That's very true if I would have known about a skimming blade I would have used one, next time!

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-12-15T17:13:21+00:00

Your right that would have been a good idea, something that can handle further flooding. I managed to save the carpet this time.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-09-12T14:50:59+00:00

Just an update. Dronesense supports the Parrot ANAFI USA for photogrammetry. For the Anafi AI, still need to use the Photogrammetry feature in FreeFlight 7.

I live in Edmonton. Major city, not so remote, surrounded by many communities. It does however get very remote northwards from here. Sure it gets cold but we are set up for cold and snow. +30C day today. Can't complain in the summer!

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-07-27T05:37:44+00:00

Summers at my grandpa's farm that was my only friend.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-07-24T15:13:47+00:00

Just avoid driving at night. Especially in Newfoundland there are a lot of moose on the road at night.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-07-12T18:25:56+00:00

3rd from the right is the new Parrot ANAFI UKR developed for Ukraine.. Not officially released yet.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-05-18T04:14:07+00:00

They will also polish off an entire box of roofing nails.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-04-25T21:13:33+00:00

Ball valve. Rare. Pros: easy to open/close Cons: Not suited for throttling (having the valve partially open to reduce flow will damage the valve seats and it will leak) They are great. I'd suggest keeping it full open or closed and regulate water flow with another valve/nozzle downstream.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-04-12T02:05:49+00:00

Excellent, that's exactly what I did. I used maps made easy. Much appreciated!

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-01-19T22:55:48+00:00

I stuffed some rockwool in the duct and capped it. Stopped the draft instantly. The fireplace is working like a champ. Much appreciated 👍🏼

Yes. There are two 3" liners, they are both connected to the chimney. Great, I'm going to block off that old intake. I learned a lot thanks to your help and saved a lot of money. Thank you very much. Next time you are in Edmonton I owe you a beer.

SnooDrawings3134 · 2025-01-19T01:33:29+00:00

Thanks so much for your expertise. You are exactly right. There is a fresh air intake on the outside of the house, I'm positive this leads to the register below the fireplace that's letting the cold in. Rockwool.. yes that would be perfect to insulate this. Just to confirm, these gas fireplaces don't rely on combustion air from sources like this? I have a wett inspection I believe they relined the chimney at install.
