I’ve been giving my two citrus trees some water every couple of days as I need to get them growing as they aren’t very big, only one year old.
Sharping the Chainsaw
And my chainsaw needed it’s chain sharpened up and also needed fuel an oil so I took care of that and then loaded it on the quad runner for the next job.
Tree on the spring water line
Here’s where the quad runner got parked after riding it up into the hills where there was a tree down on one of my spring water lines that needed to be cut off the line.
The tree
Here’s the downed tree, it’s about 100 feet long so I have to watch it doesn’t take off down the hill when I cut it.
I made a couple cuts on it and it stayed were it was.
The water line was really tangled up in that tree so I had to work at it a bit more to get it out of there.
Freed waterline
It successfully got removed from the tree.
The water line was pretty mangled up but it was soft and I was able to get it back into working order and there were no holes in it. I’ll likely replace it eventually.
Old trail
From there I rode over to the canyon where I was working on the old trail.
Waterfall trail
There is a waterfall near the old trail so I thought I’d clear that trail off too so I went up to check it out and throw sticks and rocks off it for a start.
It’s a nice area to work and before I knew it, it was evening. Time to call it a day and go on home and relax.
Tree on the waterline. From Pa Kettle, I’ll have to fix that one of these days. From Ma Kettle, yep, yep.

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.
