Prompt what have you found

Story to this one. My dad lost a diamond from one of his gold rings. He was upset bc neither he nor my mom could find it after turning the apartment inside out. They gave it up for lost. a week or so later, my mom was combing my hair. I jumped up & pulled away bc I saw a twinkle in the dark blue carpet. I pulled the diamond out of the fibers. My parents were thrilled.

Today I’d like to introduce my first full electric flight with a #Diamond Aircraft #eDA40 in #msfs2020.

Based in #Detmold, Germany I first did some traffic patterns for testing. The plane has a 80 kWh battery for 74 minutes of flying. Two traffic patterns took around 20 % of battery including going going around.

After recharging I did a local flight of around one hour over #Lemgo, #BadSalzuflen, #Herford and #Lübbecke and back to Detmold. A quite strange experience was the standing propeller on the runway short before taking off. eDA40 does also recuperate, but I haven’t seen any charge of the battery. Maybe depleating is delayed.

You will see more flight with it if you want. Just tell me. See you soon.

Today’s 3 good things:

- Mailed my postcards to #Wisconsin voters today.

- Held #Diamond (who historically doesn’t like being held) in a new/different way, and she didn’t hate it. She even began purring contentedly until she suddenly realized what was going on, came to her senses, and requested down. A very good girl.

- Good self-defense class tonight. Learned how to control & bring an attacker to the ground using just their head.💪

Lab-grown diamonds don't have metaphorical blood on them, which is good. Unfortunately, it turns out many of them are created in ways that are bad for the environment. (Not all, however! There *are* environmentally friendly ones available. So do your research if you want diamonds...)

He holds up his hands tented, as if he's holding an immense . He peers through the opening; I can see one dark eye.
I frown at him. "What are you doing? The vote is coming in soon, we don't have time for silliness."
I can hear a smile in his voice. "Looking at the only thing that matters," he says.
