I need to get my garden enclosure built as it’s time to plant around here, so I stayed home to work on it.
I welded up another panel.
Barry finds himself some work
During a break my brother Barry came by on his dirt bike.We got to talking and he mentioned he could use part of my bush which I think is a pineapple guava. That meant he’d need to dig it up and see if he could split off a piece.
He got more exercise than expected
He came back later and started digging the bush up and splitting a piece off. It turned out to be quite a job.
I did some digging too
He was doing a lot of complaining because the bush wouldn’t come out. I went over and did some digging for him and we put some water in the hole to help soften up the dirt. Eventually I left him at it and went back to my own work.
After about an hour he stopped and hunted up a beer at the neighbors. The bush kicked his butt.
He’s in there working away.
When he came back from his beer he got it out and went on home with it.
Attaching wire
I continued working on my project. Here I’m attaching the wire to the panels which seems to be especially hard on my back.
Installing panels
Once I had the wire all attached to the panel I pulled it over to the garden and added it to the one I made yesterday and installed it.
It’s hard to see the panel, but there are two of them installed now next to my blueberry patch.
I have two more panels welded up that need wire attached and then I can start planting after I get them installed. I can add the top later as I get them done.
Cold pack time
I got done just before dark and by then my back was about wiped out. I went in and put the cold pack on the back which helped out a lot.
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.
