I went, I flew, I broke some $h!T. The suitcase yak, I miss-understood. It was Numb Thumbs, not Dumb Thumbs. The poor little thing lived a short but eventful life. The wind got me out of shape and the wrong input caused a mid-air with planet Earth.

The shot of the 30%er makes it look a lot worse than it was. I mis-judged my approach in the wind and sat it down in the rough. Mike just happened to snap the shot as it nosed over. I'm just doing my part to keep Vess Props in business through the slow winter months.

Here are a few shots I took today including a shot of the broken prop.
