I had been watching my brother’s garage for a rat that he said was living in there. I hadn’t seen it in about a week, but last night it showed up and the camera caught it running down the wall, just above the fridge.
Here it is on the wall there just above center. It’s hard to see.
It landed on the top of the fridge and an automatic light of my brother’s went on and it took off back up the wall and that was the last I saw of it that night.
Pruning some apple trees
This morning it was rather cool as I went out to feed the chickens so I went back in the house after taking care of them. I warmed up a bit then went out and tackled two more fruit trees. Two apple trees to the left of the ladder.
I got the loppers and pruned off a bunch of wood. Apple trees grow pretty fast so there’s a lot of limbs to trim off and it all falls on the ground which is another job to take care of.
It took awhile and a couple of breaks but I got them both trimmed up as you can see the one over the ladder is a bit smaller now.
Brush picked up
After trimming the trees there’s a bunch of brush on the ground that needs to be picked up and something done with it. I hauled it over to my portable mulch cage which you can see just behind the chickens.
That all took most of the day by the time I got all the brush picked up. I mostly puttered around the yard after that chair hopping and enjoying the day.
Moved the rat camera
I did go over to my brother’s garage and moved he camera to a better spot to spot where the rat was going to get in and out of the garage.
Rat shows up again
The rat showed up just after dark and I caught it again. Now I need to move the camera again as I can’t see on the other side of the boxes where the garage door is and a possible in and out for the rat.
The rat seemed to have left that garage and shortly after that I heard something up in my attic. :O)
Merry Christmas Bob! Wishing the best joys possible in 2020!

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.
