Having a little fun while sitting in the KOAK penalty box…

As you all know, I got a new toy for Christmas (well, Tax Return season, anyway):  a GoPro!


But First . . .


A special shout-out to blog friend Karim, who’s zany vid clip in my surprise birthday video back in June inspired the following Photoshop pic . . .

Hey, kids, be sure to eat up your bowl of Cap’n Aux cereal,
so you too can grow up to be big, strong Cap’ns!


Now, as for that GoPro thingy . . .

“Ah! Now I’ve got it!  I think…”

My very first day shooting happened to be the day of the Phoenix 2013 Scottish Highland games.  So, being part Scotish, I strapped on me kilt and headed down for some fun!

A lovely day for tanning . . . .
Just remember: if I was wearing undies it’d be called a SKIRT!

My first GoPro Gif, made of the “caber toss.”
I may be semi Scot but I wouldn’t touch that sport with a 10-meter caber!

(Note: all of the GIF’s are super lo-res, to keep the size down…)
Speaking of Gifs, if you didn’t see it, here’s one from my 1st GoPro vid,
“The Flight Gathers and now my Watch Begins”:

And if you happened to miss it, here’s the vid!

OK, how about some lovely views from the office?

I love the slight fish eye lens look of the GoPro. It catches a lot!

And finally…
My vote for GoPro pic of the Year!

This is the GoPro version of my “DFW molten sunset” pic from “Office View Part 1.” This, after 9.6 hours flying, including a 200 nm diversion around a mega-t’storm and an ILS missed approach in a rain squall.  It was worth the effort!

Made a little meme with this great quote:

And another similar meme:
Had some fun with my FO’s pic.
I flipped it around so he got “promoted to Captain,” and wrote this fairy tale for him…

so stand by . . .

For now, it’s time to go home.
And I’m taking my new toy with me!

*Don’t quote me, but I think it’s either KJFK or KCLT!
