All right, so Carol's got himself an AI girlfriend. Let us know when the wedding is. There's a few more stories out there about people getting engaged to their AIs. Interesting. Very, very interesting. Okay, drones. So, yep, there's the sub 249 gram drones and I'm not up on Canadian laws and restrictions and what have you, but I can tell you a little bit about the United States. So if it's 249 grams or less, you don't have to register the drone. And I have one, I have the Mini Pro 3 and I highly recommend the Mini Pro 4 because it's got better obstacle avoidance. It's got, I think, 360 where the Mini Pro 3, there's a couple spots in there where it doesn't have, it's a couple blind spots. But if you're getting a drone, obstacle avoidance, it's not perfect, but definitely a lot better. And they've got a new one out there that's called the Flip, I think. And it kind of folds up and it's got guards around the propellers so you can kind of bump into things a little bit and it'll still stay flying depending on how hard you hit them. So under 249 grams, you don't need to register the drone. I've got two drones, the Avada and the FPV that I have that are over 249 grams. So I had to register those and I got to register them every three years. I think my ones do. Just register the drone. You don't have to do the license. Again, this is United States. If you're using it for personal use, for recreation, for the enjoyment, if you're going to make any kind of money off of it, you got to do the Part 97 and get that license for yourself. There is a drone course you can take just for recreational that gives you, you know, lets them know that you understand the hazards and things like that. Now here in the United States, no DJI used to have it set up where if you're in a restricted area, let me grab it. Alright, if you're in a restricted area, the drone wouldn't take off and I think DJI turned that off. So it'll warn you and then you have to press a button and say I accept your responsibility and then it'll let you fly. But keep in mind all those drones are tagged. They have GPS tracking. They send out a signal. So people know, you know, in the avionics place field in law enforcement, they know when a drone is flying and it can be tracked back to you because you made the purchase and you know those records are kept. So you got to be careful in that respect as well. So fly responsibly because I mean you get that drone up in the air, you fly into the path of an aircraft and you do damage to the aircraft and where it crashes, you know, that's really going to be bad. So you want to, you know, make sure you understand the rules, the limitations and the, you just got to be careful when flying it. Remember that if you're not careful, you could end up, you know, hurting someone. But and even that 249 gram drone that I have, I have, I bought three batteries without realizing this. They were extended life batteries and those extended life batteries, they're a little bit heavier to give you the extra fly time but they end up putting the drone over 249 grams. So when I use those batteries, that drone should be licensed. But like I said, as long as you use them for recreational and you're careful and you do it in areas you know you can fly, there's lots of apps that will give you that information for free to let you know. Plus on the drone itself and the controller, a lot of times it'll tell you whether or not there's a restricted areas and which areas not to go towards and what height limits for certain areas because a lot of times you can go up to 400 feet but then in some areas you're only allowed to go up to 100 feet because of airports or other things nearby. So and just fly responsibly because you don't want to be in big trouble for, you know, creating or causing any type of things. And up by Brigham City there's a detention facility and the drone told me, hey, you're getting by this detention facility, you might want to, you know, come back. Whoops, got a bad one. I'm over and I know we're getting close to the end here and Russell's probably going to leave so I'll pass it back to Russell. Sorry Russell, go ahead.
