I rode on up to my cousin’s place today to take them for a ride on their property.
First we rode over to a road I’m repairing for them to talk about some stuff. We left her husband back at the house and took a ride around her property, stopping at the top for a break.
The top, break area where we had a good break and enjoyed the day.
After a good break we rode over to our place and rode around some more, stopping at the main spring for a drink of water.
I put my little chainsaw in the side by side and headed up into the hills for a ride. I rode around a bit then went over to visit a neighbor. We had a nice chat.
I rode around the hills some more headed to the top of the ridge when I ran into this little downed tree, so I got the saw out and cut it out of the way.
I didn’t get far when I ran into the next one which I cut up and threw off the road so I could get by.
I finally made it to the top of the hill and was taking a break enjoying the day.
As I sat there I heard this guy huffing and puffing and riding his bike up the hill. It was an electric bike. It turned out to be another neighbor, Rob. He said he was headed over to another neighbor, Jim who had just made some home made beer. Now, because of my corn allergy, I hadn’t had a beer in over 25 years, far too long. I said I’d go with him to the neighbor’s place so we took off with him leading the way on his bike. He goes pretty fast on that bike and I had to go like hell to keep up with him.
Here we are pulling up to Jim’s house, where the beer is.
Any corn stuff in the beer
I quizzed Jim about what the ingredients of the beer were and it sounded like the beer would be ok. It was better than that, after 25 years of no beer. I’m not a big beer drinker but it sure hit the spot. We did some visiting and shot the bull a lot.
It was getting late when Rob and I left. Now, one beer makes my side by side go like hell, so I had a good ride back to my place.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
