Nice humble brag. Again. Just know that it worked, I am jealous.
You’re confusing us with Lake Travis. My next door neighbor is a meth lab.

To me that map represents their un-lubed dildo of consequences.
I think I’ll pass.

That is a perfect analogy. Well done.
I may pass that along to him if I see the dude again.
Laughter is definitely at a premium over there.

As a TESCO baby Monahans native, this hits close to home.
Oh, jokes were made about Monahans. Best beach Pecos has, HOLLA!!!
I was sort of disappointed the guy didn't look a bit more like Billy Bob Thornton though. If I'm being honest.

The commander fella was really sincere about thanking me. The younger dudes (SIL included) were more slap on the back, "man that's good stuff!" thankful but that guy squared me up, stared straight into my eyes, and gave one of those very serious, "Thank you. No, look at me. Thank you" kind of deals. It was unsettling, but not in a bad way if that makes any sense. Of all of them he showed the weight of what they'd been through the most.
The comic relief, though, was one of the guys there complaining about how when this was all over he'd have to go back to Pecos, TX. Having lived out that way for a season of my life I completely understood and co-signed his bitching.

Did the BBQ drop-off in Boerne for the SIL and his team. He said they started in Bergheim today and then went straight to Canyon Lake leapfrogging the teams in between. He said they found a "few" victims and went into a bit of detail on condition, but I'll leave that out here. It's what you think it would be and ID is not easy.
Met his commander, who said the guys in the field were getting fed "But it's the same sandwiches over and over..." then grumbled a bit about "The guys who are staying in Kerrville are getting the good stuff." That is to say the ribs and bacon/jap wrapped chicken skewers were well received. He told me they'd be back searching Canyon Lake tomorrow. That aspect is just surreal. The whole thing is.
Well, so, for the ttwwps purists...

I haven't flown my drone in probably 2 years, so things may have changed, but used to DJI didn't allow you to fly in a TFR unless you had gotten clearance. My guess is they disabled that in the ongoing fight between the DOJ/FAA and DJI.
I actually had used the FAA Drone app to bypass a TFR (getting permission to fly under 100 feet AGL). So I remember the old process pretty well. Been too busy the last few years to get the bird in the sky.
I usually rely on that automatic "grounding" feature of my Mavic along with word from my neighbor who is a retired SWA pilot and professional drone operator giving me the 411 on what's GO/NO GO.
looks like I need to rethink those protocols. I DO NOT want a sit down with the FAA. Ever.

I've been flying the drone, so I hope I'm not out of compliance. The deer was already being collected by animal control at ramp 7. That's how I noticed it on my bike ride.

SIL said his DPS recovery team is now staging from the park in Bergheim (just outside of Boerne) for their work today. That's maybe 20 minutes from Canyon Lake. They are working their way here fast.
I saw dead deer floating in the lake yesterday. I think some victims are going to be found a few hundred yards from my front door.
FML
On a happier note he said they attacked that brisket like it had bullied them in grade school. Firing up that mf'er again and taking some swine tonight. Guessing I'll learn some things. Will report back what I can.

^^That combined is more than Canyon Lake at capacity. Wow.
I'm expecting CL to be close to 70% full by Wednesday. Another big slug of H20 heading here from Kerrville/Comfort right now.
