I thought I’d go up and see how Barry was doing cutting firewood and then trim branches along the road on the way back and throw sticks and rocks off the road.
Seems Barry is doing just fine cutting wood.
Clay
I left Barry to it and turned around and started cutting brush along the road when I spotted this on the road. Not the tire tracks, but the blue clay I use to develop springs. I think there’s going to be a hole in this road when I take some of the clay out.
I’d made it to this spring for a drink of water when Tom came by in his rig going up to see how Barry was doing.
Overlook
I continued cutting brush and made it to this overlook for a break which was good as I was tired out.
While I was there Tom came by again. He’d been planting potatoes in his garden today and was taking a break from it.
Pond
After a good break at the overlook, I headed for the Sometimes Spring to do some work, going by our little pond.
Spring work
The spring was just past the pond.
I wanted to dig the spring out a bit so thought I’d try the claw hammer to do it as there wasn’t much room in there to do it, but the hammer claws didn’t work as I couldn’t get the claws lined up in the hole to dig.
So I gave up that idea and thought a digging bar might work better. I continued down the road.
Cutting brush
And stopped here to cut some brush off the side of the road.
The trouble with cutting brush is now it has to be removed, so I did that and was tired out.
I went on home for a nap. After the nap, I was outside when I realized I left my camera up there on the road where I was cutting the brush, so I’d have to go back up there, so I hunted for my digging bar and headed back up there and found my camera on the road, right where I left it.
Back at the spring
I used the big digging bar to work on the spring. It worked pretty well, but it was heavy and wore me out pretty fast.
I got the spring dug out some and will do more at a later time. I left the bar there so I can dig some more when I ride by again.
This is the hole that I’ve been working on making it a little larger, so I can set up my water collection stuff.
I headed back home for a nap and something to eat.
Those digging bars are sometimes the only way. They will wear a man out quickly though!

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.
