Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot is up to $850 million with the drawing Tuesday, January 19, 2021.

This is the third largest jackpot in lottery history.

I used to work at a place with about 50 employees and whenever the jackpot was high they would pool their monies and buy a stack of tickets. We used to talk about renting a tour bus to ride to the capitol to collect our winnings. That never happened.

5 bucks to get in on the lottery pool... It's nearly a year since I worked there and I suppose if I asked, they would let me get in on the action!

MegMegMega Millions... You can't win if you don't play!

....turning yet another witch hunt, coup equivalent, failed case by the NY state Democrat AG back to be litigated further in lower courts. In the 9 to 0 decision, the point was made, that a president is not completely immune from state originated subpoenas. Big BUT, VERY big, such officials must also be protected from such moves which "MAY BE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED".
The further court persecution procedures will easily take place until well after the election.
As always, follow your deep hate motivated feelings, and TD-HD Syndrome biased convictions and emotions. But just read up on the FACTS, and don't take the fat little illiterate Vierk Gnome's words for it.
Just one more small step for the man, and a big step for mankind. Sooooo SWEET.
Thank the Goddess for the impaired Ex VP Biden, and the Dem's ongoing circular firing squad, of increasing disarray, and near panic. November.

I've been in and out of the model helicopter hobby a few times in nearly 50 years, overcoming a divorce, the loss of both parents, two serious car accidents and multiple job changes. I started back around 6 years ago, it was with some very small and inexpensive models that could only help me practice at a slow pace. I've since upgraded to larger models that are more powerful and fly with more authority. The only drawback is the cost... several thousand per model. It's a fact that no serious pilot can get by with only one radio controlled helicopter.

It's not possible for me to dedicate myself to the sport like I want... there are other obligations. 30 years ago, I recall levels of obsession where I would come home from work and practice on a computer simulator for 2 hours, break for dinner and get back to another 2 or 3 hours of practice.
It didn't matter how good I got, as going to competition or fun-fly events I could always find guys who were better pilots... much better. There was a guy who invented an electronic device, patented it and sold the product to a car manufacturer. His company was self sufficient to the point where he didn't have to work and would come to Florida every winter to practice flying at a local field for several hours each day.
Being exposed to that level of talent was incentive to continue improving and never reaching a plateau.

Most of us are flying 'pod & boom' style helicopters at have a fiberglass canopy to cover the motor and electronics with a long tail boom and a few fins. They aren't attractive, but fly great. There is a visual drawback, so we often wrap them in brightly colored sticky tape so they can be seen better when far away.

Often these models have names that reflect the size of the blades, like Logo 700 or RAW 580. 700 indicates the main blade length is 700 millimeters. Others have cool names like Dominator or Whiplash. There is one model that has a full fuselage to look like a real helicopter. Lots of guys have them but not too many are out flying them. Mentioned on a previous blog, a friend buys and sells models and recently picked up some used helicopters in a package deal that he plans to maintain and resell. One was a model called Kraken, named after the legendary sea monster.

I've seen them fly. They are very attractive and easy to see in the air. So, I made my friend an offer to trade one of my pod & boom models plus some cash for his Kraken.
He accepted the offer. Part of the deal was to go through the electronics and make sure all was good. He rewired a few connections because the guy who built it originally wasn't meticulous.

After initial testing, my friend flew it, made a few tweaks in the settings and handed it to me to try. Yes, smooth and predictable.

I've only got 2 sets of batteries that fit this model and this week, I'll order 2 more!
Aye, the Kraken...

You know the drill by now.
Enjoy the captions other people offer and/or

Either way, enjoy.

First here's the photo;

He was only following directions.

The other day, I was browsing Steam, and I came across a game, that sounded extremely interesting. It was called Government Simulator, and the description read the following:

"Government Simulator is a is a simple economic and political simulation game based on real-world data. Take control of a whole country, like the USA, Germany, France, Russia, or Austria. Change laws, taxes and budgets based on real world statistics and data, and see what happens."

There are no missions, and the game is purely text based. But never the less, I bought the game and tried to see if I could fix America.

The first few things I did were:

Implemented strict gun control. Like VERY strict! Up to a point where it was a crime to own one, unless you possessed a hunting license
Invested heavily in education
Implemented Free Abortion
Did some tweaks to certain laws
Ramped up the tax bracket for the wealthiest Americans
Gave tax breaks to low-income families

And what did all that result in?

Debt completely wiped out, and I created a 13.9 billion dollar surplus.
Unemployment rate was at 4%

Approval rating: 100%!

Keep in mind, that it's only a video game, and thus there is no way to tell if that would happen if the US did the same as I did in the game. But still, it makes you think.

Next time, I will try to tackle Russia!
