This happened in June, but I am getting the site up to date.

So Cole got a cool helicopter for his birthday, the small remote kind we all wanted as kids.  Well this thing has been run a lot and always charged back up and kept flying.  Some day I figured it would crash, get stepped on by big-foot or just stop working.  Well it finally happened.

So I get a call at work that Cole was flying the helicopter out back and it “somehow” flew up on the ROOF.  So I needed to come home and figure a way to get it off.  Cole was OK because he was sure his Dad would figure it out.  He does not know his Dad is a complete chicken when it comes to heights and there was no way in hell I was getting on our roof.  That is not a 1960’s house style roof, this is steep.

After assessing the situation and finishing a few beers, everyone involved decided to screw the helicopter and go purchase another one if it does not blow off the roof.  Cole took it well, and checks every now and again to see if it is still up there.  I just checked before I wrote this and it is still there, after a few major storms, winds and a few balls thrown it’s way.

I’ll update this if it ever comes down and we will bury the chopper.
