I have to stay around the house as I’m waiting for the phone guy to come and fix my phone line. He’s supposed to come by within three days so I wait. He didn’t show up today so tomorrow should be the day as it’s the third day.
Moving dirt
I’ve been meaning to remove about four inches of dirt in the chicken’s pen so I can add more woodchips, so today was the day for that.
I got the wheelbarrow and some tools and moved them to the chicken pen.
Loading dirt
The dirt had to be moved to another spot once loaded up.
The other spot was across the yard so I went by these blooming poppies with the loaded wheelbarrow a number of times.
There’s a spot here that could use some filling up with dirt so that’s where I moved it to.
Of course I needed lots of breaks and did some chair hopping between loads.
Dirt removed
I’m not sure if the chicken’s approved or not but they were checking it out.
Nice for the chickens
It took most of the afternoon and I was really getting tired out. I have all the dirt moved in this photo and now have to get some woodchips to top it all and make it real nice for the chickens.
Woodchips
I barely had the energy to get two loads of woodchips for the pen but I got it done.
Another one, but not today
Once that part was done I moved the tools to this feeding pen I call the mulch pen to setup to do that one too.
But I didn’t seem to have much energy left so I napped instead and just couldn’t get back to the work today, so that was it.
Good to get that work done while waiting for the phone guy.
Shovel, wheelbarrow, moving dirt = tard. That last word is how we say it in TX.

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.
