father's day
best father's day ever. or nearly. got to sleep in. no breakfast in bed. harumph. course i don't really eat breakfast. so small nit. presents! yay! i got a hammer, a screwdriver, a nerd light, and wheels axles bearings for my skates. i've been skating to the train station again now that the weather's nice. onlive bought me a go pass. woo hooty! can't beat that. then we went to the park to fly the model airplane i got for christmas. pre-flight showed it was balanced properly. but it flew like it was seriously nose heavy. full throttle, full elevator, full elevator trim didn't achieve level flight. we went with the hand launch technique. it just nosed over and *crunch*. ouch. the wings are held on with rubber bands. so they give a lot on impact. the prop is behind the wings so it doesn't smash into the ground. instead it chops hunks out of the wings. oops. so we drove it around the dirt infield like a remote control car. tried to take off a few times. never succeeded. after it ran out of juice, we went home and we played warhammer quest. scarfed down some lunch. then went geocaching. "pool of names" made me laugh out loud. it's hidden in plain sight. the look on the beautiful and talented alisa's face when she found it was priceless. then we watched hubble in imax. that was cool. i had a bacon cheeseburger for dinner. and we played braid on onlive until bedtime. good day. thanks everybody.
