How Buddy spends his weekend

Spyglass Sally · 12-19-2010, 12:52 PM

Relaxing, watching the nativity scene

Sleeping on "his couch", he slips closer to the edge. I snuck up to take a shot of him hanging over the edge just as he stretched, woke up and started to fall.

DH is a bit of an RC helicopter nut. This time of year, he has to fly the little ones inside. Buddy stalking it.

This would have been better as movie but it's just as he makes his lunge.

Hee hee, funny Buddy - did you save him from falling on the ground in pic 2 Sally? Now that helicopter thing - OMGoodness, we have people over here that meet in groups and go to a couple of the local parks round my way and stand right in the middle of the park and play with them - up and down and round and round and round. They are much bigger than the one in your picture and they they seem to have quite a good remote control range too. I have to say Sally, the noise of them drives me mad. When I am out walking I find it so irritating - I like listening to the sounds of nature, bird song etc. I have some dogs that get so wound up by them that I have to put them on their leads, and even then it's not easy trying to drag a couple of barking lunging dogs away from them.

Buddy wants to be part of the nativity, LOL....

Rex is laying exactly the same way on the couch right now. I was thinking of pushing him over so he doesn't fall off, but didn't want to wake him up since he is sleeping so soundly.

What a life! I do love how he was so persistent with letting you guys know that was his chair lol (and the fact you guys were softies and gave in

). Ruby goes CRAZY when DH flies his mini chopper in the house - I think he actually does it because he finds her amusing, the RC cars are different she runs from them, once at night he had a little one he had bought DS as a starter (it was just electric not petrol like his) and was zooming around the house and she bolted into DD's room jumped onto her bed where she was sleeping and sat on top of her looking sooo frightened lol I wish I'd had my video camera.

I'm with you on that, Stephanie. The noise can get annoying, although the little one doesn't make that much noise. And he doesn't fly that long because it's actually kind of taxing, mentally. That's Mike's smallest one. He has I don't know how many, maybe half a dozen. Some are quite big and one uses nitro fuel and is very big and loud. He can't fly the bigger ones in the house and doesn't fly them in parks even when people are around. It's not really safe, because someone could run into the area where it's active and something could go wrong. But sometime people come to watch him fly and ask him questions.

He can fly some of the medium ones outside here but he's always careful to see if the neighbors are around and never flies for long. The guys and children seem to like watching some - although I don't really think watching is very interesting myself. I think the fun would be in mastering the flying, which is quite a bit more challenging (so I'm told) than flying a fixed wing craft.

Not my thing, but it makes him happy so I'm happy for him. Buddy would obviously like to participate, but more as an incoming missile I'm afraid.
