I jumped on the quad today and rode up to here and parked as I needed to do something I forgot on Easter, a few days ago.
I forgot to stop and pay my respects to my Mom and Dad and Brother who are resting under these trees.
The cross
The cross on the big redwood tree marks the spot. This is likely where I’ll end up someday, but no rush.
Working on the water line trail
After that I rode on up to our water tanks and parked near them as I wanted to do some work on my water pipe trail that feeds the tanks water from our springs.
I worked a couple hours on the trail through here. It looked like this before I started and is a little better now, but I didn’t get a picture of things after I worked on it.
Hard work
Of course I worked on it harder and longer than I’d planned but that’s the way thing seem to go to get things done.
I’m on the pipe trail and headed back down to my quad runner down on the road.
I rode on home after that and was tired out so not much else got done but some chair hopping.
Looking for the tractor part
I also spent some time looking for my tractor part online. I found some parts but because of the virus thing shipping had moved out a mouth or two from Amazon so I think I’ll try getting the part from my John Deere dealer, but I didn’t get around to calling them yet.
Another nice day working in the forest. Blue sky and sun all day, nice.
Looks like a nice sunny day to get some of the trails cleaned up.

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.
I bet your passed family heard you……Time is probably not a big issue for them now.+
