It seems like I always have a lot of stuff to repair, a lot more than most people. Part of it is most of the stuff I have is on the older side, like me.
Chainsaw coil module
I started out the day by putting in the new chainsaw coil module. I got the part in and checked the saw for spark, but I didn’t see any spark at the spark plug. But the sun was out bright, so I thought, maybe it was just too bright out to see it. I put the saw aside to check it again after the sun went down. I did check it and it had spark so I can finish putting the saw back together and hopefully get it working again.
Motor bike tire repair is next
I got the new bike tire tube so it was time to get the tire put back together. That proved to be not so easy as I’d ordered a thicker tube than the one that was in the tire and the added thickness made it very hard to get the new tube back in and lined up in the rim. It was especially hard to get the tube air filler lined up and back in the rim hole. After much trying and not getting far with it, I finally got it all back together.
I put the tire back on the bike and was going to go for a ride to test the tire out, but never did get to that.
I also had a new turn-on switch to install in my electric stove, but never did get to that, mostly because it was an inside job.
I spent the rest of the day with the chickens chair hopping around the yard.
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.
