@MartySeeks I enjoyed this video. Highlights included your shadow darting out the way, peeking at the room of your stepladders, and seeing the fingerprints all over the front of your magicians plinth.
I think your light switch has seen better days though. I spent 8 hours on a video today, but I think I’m doing it all wrong and should follow your recipe instead.

I’ll start taking it seriously and quit the tomfoolery when I go outside.
I need to get educated on the rules.

Followed your advice and managed 35 out of 40 on the drone test on the first attempt which I’m pleased with.
