Needed to check a firmware update on one of my drones. Decided that I would put it up after dark (I have full licensing and certifications for night operations and can prove it before anyone asks). Here are a few shots from over my house. The next one is one of my favorites, a panoramic…

One week home….
It is almost time to travel again. Storm season is not over yet and we still have tons of inspections to do in a few hot spots around the country. So, as I have agreed, I will be heading out on Monday for yet another trip. I hope you will come along for the ride….
Day 17 – Homeward Bound
And today was a travel day. It was time to head home to Jesse and The Pack. I woke up way early knowing I had to make this drive and got on the road around 3:30am CDT. I arrived home right after 4:15pm EDT. Hit some traffic along the way, saw very few State Troopers…
Day 16 – Houma, LA
Spent all day in Houma, LA taking completing the last of my October 2021 New Orleans trip. By day 15 I am done. Today I saw the change in my claims we have gone through most of the urgent storm damage claims, now we are getting into the end of the urgent. Yes, there will…
Day 15 – Galliano, Bourg, Cut Off, and Lockport
Getting near the end of my trip. I can see the light at the end of my dispatch board. Today was all about the Gulf Coast. Lot’s of water and wind damage as this was were Ida made landfall. Made one relatively major screwup today. I was talking with someone on the phone and clicked…
Day 14 – Gretna, New Orleans, and more
Not too much to add to today’s post. I had 10 claims, a big gap in the middle, and then a nice workout to round out my evening. Oh, and the hotel actually cleaned today. We tried to fill that gap a bit today without luck, so I went and walked through a local mall….
Day 13 – Huoma and Cut Off
Started off the day early with an almost two hour drive to South of Cut Off, LA. Long drive down. Was able to stop and get the pictures of that boat that was in the wrong place on my way. I have been told by a few people that this boat belongs up-river a bit…
Day 12 – New Orleans and rest
Today was all about myself, my fitness, and rest. Started off the day with a 13.1 mile run along the lake. I decided on this distance because it is a half-marathon. I wanted to actually run a half while I was here in New Orleans, but it would have been too early and I was…
Day 11 – Marrero and Kenner, LA with a side trip into NOL
And it is Saturday, good day overall, will be better once my pizza arrives. Yes, early day back to hotel and it is a cheat day for me on food related issues. Been doing too much running (for both work and fitness) to skimp on the calories right now. My mileage of my training is…
Day 10 – Houma, Chalmette, and New Orleans
Today was spent in Houma basically with an added side trip to Lacrose. Take a look at this sign I came across in my travels. Where yesterday was a smooth day, today was a real exercise in traffic nightmares and waiting for traffic nightmares. Oh, and waiting on insured’s to show up on time for…
