R.I.P

R.I.P. GoPro Motorsports camera.

It died an honorable death, somewhere in the stratosphere.

This has little to do with cars or motorsports other than the fact that we destroyed our little camera, but yesterday we decided it would be really neat to attach it to two 3.5" diameter helium balloons, purchased at Party City. Add some duct tape and 800' of kite string, and you've got a pretty cool little apparatus for aerial photography. If i hadn't broken the line, we would've had some epic, epic pictures. It had no problem at all taking out that 800' of string. We launched it at the very highest point we could find, which just happened to be behind my house.

We have no idea where it ended up, but we do know that it is GONE. That little fucker was out of sight in minutes.

Guess it's time for a Craigslist Missed Connections ad. I just hope that whoever finds it, if it's ever found, realizes that there's a memory card in it. There are surely some astonishing pictures on it.
