Vestry Graduate

I am no longer part of the Vestry at Christ Church Norcross. I served my full term as the Buildings and Grounds liaison. It was three years. There were a lot of items to deal with over the years.

I am sure the time and responsibility will be quickly reallocated. When I signed on I figured I would learn something. Now I am thinking about what I learned along with the hows and whys.

He is mentioned on page 12 in the folowing time capsule. https://digitalarchives.episcopalarchives.org/the_witness/pdf/1941_Watermarked/Witness_19410515.pdf His noteworthy translation: Kant

Drone 3D mapping

Image
I am doing 3D mapping with my drone. A neighborhood lake is drained and we need sediment data for dredging/cleaning. It's pretty satisfying getting some new capabilities like these. I crashed my drone yesterday as it hit a tree on a programmed descent. I am not sure why it was 20 feet off its course. I think I have fixed the drone, but I have to test it today. It was pretty beat up for sure. I have a lot more to learn for sure.
