\n\"Soft<\/a>\n<\/div>
Soft Sky to the Northeast, a reverse sunset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We finally started getting a little weather here. So I have been flying my drone in periscope mode where I launch it from our house and go straight up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Neighborhood<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is looking west at the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Rain<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some rain to the north of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"skywatch<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another day’s sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Alan<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the drone pilot wearing his favorite flamingo shirt. He’s got a haircut since this photo so he’s not quite as shaggy. I’m not one of those dapper retired guys who are all buttoned up. I haven’t ironed a shirt since I retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Lizzie's<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Switching gears, hear is Lizzie the kitten after I woke her up from her nap. Miss Lizzie is getting kind of fluffy from all her eating and napping. Not that I am trying to fatshame her or anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Phoropter\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I can see!! My first optometrist exam in two years. My prescription hasn’t changed in three years. I was prepared to get new glasses but I’m sticking with what I got for now. Not only am I a scruffy old retired guy, I’m cheap as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I went on a bike ride and passed these oilfield heater treaters all trailered up and nowhere to go. Heater treaters are used to separate crude oil, water, and natural gas after the liquids come out of the ground. Most wells produce all three at the same time. Blood, guts, and feathers is what I call it. Heater treaters use heat to help with the separation. The fact that they are sitting there and have been for some time is not a good sign for the energy industry. Somebody is paying some pretty steep storage fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Downtown<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a view of downtown Tulsa from the bike path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Bear<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And at the end of my ride. I love that bear fountain. You notice I am admiring from the shade. It was close to 100 F when I finished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So everybody, be safe, be kind, and take lots of sky photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
