Needles to say I was real sore from all the shoveling I did yesterday so I took it easy today.
I did do a little work but it was easy stuff.
Some cleanup
I cleaned out this area so I can extend a fence across here to keep the chickens in this part of the property, I hope.
Checking how much sand is in the well
I was wondering how much sand was in the bottom of my well so I got the string with a weight and measured to the bottom of the well. It measured 47 feet to the bottom and I know the well was 54 feet deep so that means there’s about 7 feet of sand at the bottom. That’s not really too bad for this well, so maybe I’ll try to get the sand out or maybe I won’t. We’ll see. Right now I have too much to do.
Ivy is tough stuff
After that and a good break I worked on removing some of this ivy around the well site. That was harder than I thought it would be as the stuff puts down a lot of roots and really tangles itself up.
Did some supply figuring
Other than that, I just chair hopped and worked on figuring out what supplies I need to finish off the chicken project.
That was pretty much my day. It was a pleasant one as far as the temperature so sitting around was real nice.
we certainly get reminders that we aren’t as young as we used to be after a day of good hard work. I find just bending over in the garden laying mulch plays havoc on my legs and back. LOL Getting old isn’t always fun but it beats the alternative.

Header Pictures
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.
