ZM> them and then its just you, alone, with a drone and a chinese phone app
ZM> that doesn't work with any newer phones so you can't use it anymore.

ZM> For a while my sons and i were r/c car'ing and dirtbiking every weekend.
ZM> Now Mine is the only working rc car, the older son has no time for me or

ZM> I built a sweet "call of duty zombie" wooden fort for my 6 yr old in the
ZM> back yrd... he never uses it.

ZM> And that chill 14ft john boat has sat for 2 yrs now, cuz the kids don't
ZM> enjoy fishing anymore...
