The video I posted to YouTube the other day on the subject is doing real good and getting lotsa hits. Quite a few more hits than most of my other videos.
I went over to my brother’s chickens to get instructions on how to take care of them as I’ll be taking care of them for a week when my brother goes on a vacation. I think he has about 200 of them as he sells eggs at the Farmer’s markets.
Dozer
Before I left that area, I put the battery charger on the dozer’s battery, just to keep it charged up.
New rat bait
My brother Tom also said he picked up some newer rat bait that cost a lot less than the other stuff we were using. He said this one also has fish in it. I got some from him so I can test it out.
Forest work
I’m still working on getting all the trees that fell down during the recent rain storms, off the forest roads. I got the chain back on the chainsaw and took off for the hills. I meant to bring a tool to use to replace the saw chain when it comes off, but forgot and I needed it too.
This is the spot I left off yesterday, so I started clearing and cutting these trees off the road.
And then I moved up the road to this spot and started cutting.
Chains off again
I got this much cut out,when the chain came off again and since I forgot the chain tool, I headed on home to get the chain back on.
I got the chain back on and took a break then went back up the hill and cut the rest of this log off the road. And yes, I did bring the chain tools this time.
Cousin’s place
From there I headed over to my Cousin’s place where I knew there were some big logs across the road at this spot.
This one was the largest one and water logged and real heavy.
I cut the log into a size I thought I could move, but they were so full of water I could barely move them enough to get them rolling down the hill to get them out of the way.
I made it though and got the trail open. Of course that pretty much beat me, so I took a break for a bit.
From there, I rode on down the road and cut a couple small trees off the road, but when I got to this one, I said enough and turned around.
Middle road
Then I went down the middle road and cut a couple small trees off, but when I got to these ones, I turned around and headed for home, too beat to do much else.
Sunset
This was the view from the hilltops as the sun was going down to the right.
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.
