I kick a lot of dirt with my shoes when I’m making trails and stuff. That means I rip seams out where the shoe bends and stuff get into the shoe which isn’t good.
I got the epoxy out and some tape and mended the seam and left the shoe for the epoxy to setup. The tape was to help the seam to stay together while the glue setup.
These quail moved through the yard while I was resting in a chair.
I decided to fix this shoe too and applied some epoxy to fix this seam. No tape was required on this one.
I was out of shoes so I put my slippers on as I planned to take it easy in the yard today anyway. I over did things on my sore back yesterday and it was a bit sorer today.
Van prep
I made the bed in there just to get it done. Then I took inventory on what was in there and what I needed for an upcoming trip.
I wanted to install some air conditioning in the van. Being an old van, this was the best I could do. That should help on real hot days.
Steering box research
The van’s steering wheel is a bit on the loose side. It’s been that way for quite some time, so today, I did some research on the internet to see what I need to do to tighten it up. Looks like an easy adjustment on the steering box which I will do soon.
Eggs
In the evening I rode over to my brother’s chicken pens and gathered the eggs again. I do it at noon and then in the evening. They had a lot at noon, but none this time.
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.
