had a great day out at the spot.
first i coded/worked for like 3 hours.
then I went into the park in the back yard.. it's unreal. thousands of acres of cypress growing in swamp, with endless slash pines everywhere.
man... im going to get a drone eventually and fly it through there. sounds so much fun. hah.
really beautiful tho, my phone doesn't do it justice:
also the gator was super "social" today. didn't frighten at all from us.. normally it flinches.. today it didn't react to any movement etc. just chilled there inches from us for an hour or so. lmfao wtf.
also it has a turtle friend.. lmfaooo.
my co-worker/friend stopped by.
he wanted to see the gator so bad.
he expected he would be afraid of it.. he was completely shocked that it was so "friendly" .. and that he himself never was afraid of it.
it blew his mind that it was just sitting there inches from us.. looking at us.. not being aggressive at all etc.
was hilarious. he said it was one of the coolest things he's ever experienced. hah.
then we went to a local "farm house cafe", which turned out to be really good .. they use "local ingregients" (meat/veggies from local farms). they also have paddocks/horse parking, for people who ride their horses up & come to get food.
they also had live music starting & a fire pit going.
pretty cool.
turned out to be really good .. nice little spot.
my friend said, "doesn't feel like i'm in florida .. feels like i'm in vacation in georgia or something" hah.
also gizmo/james :f
but ya.. need to get a drone and a solid camera in October .. once i get this spot, im going to have to figure out what to get.
for cameras, ive been looking at fuji x-t4.
for drones, haven't looked in a while .. but i'm sure i could get something really solid now for a decent price. looking forward to finally getting a drone.
pc!
OH.. i might do a 5k (for fun - not srs) in november. if i get the new spot, it'll actually be pretty close. It's a race I won prize money at a few years ago.
it's one of the few non-virtual races scheduled.
