Yesterday I worked on Rene’s electrical in the garage. As you remember he fired his electrical guy and I was helping him get all the wires and circuits hooked up which looked like this.
Testing our work
Rene picked up the last electrical box we needed so I hooked up that last box then we turned it all on and tested things to see if they worked.
There was some concern about if I wired the three way light switches right or not but once I got Rene measuring things properly it all worked so we buttoned things up which looked like this.
Today, just enjoying the day
Today I’m mostly taking it easy in my camp spot mostly enjoying the nice day. Here’s where I’ve been camped. Nice spot.
A bit of yard work
We are working on getting Rene’s yard mowed and have this much done so far. He waited a bit too long to get this done and the weeds are tall and thick but the mower seems to be doing a good job on them.
Rest of the day
Steve is supposed to come by this evening and I’m going to help him put in a small fence around a vegetable garden he’s planting.
Then I will drive the couple of miles to Port Orford and use the library’s internet connection for a bit to see what the rest of the world is up to.
You are keeping busy on this adventure. :)
Glad to hear you are taking a day to relax here and there.

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.
