Seemed like a good day to do a little bull dozing and charge the dozers battery.
I filled a five gallon container of fuel for the dozer and took it up the hill on my quad runner and put the fuel in the dozer here.
Sure didn’t get far
It started right up and after it warmed up a bit, I headed off, but I didn’t get far.
It wasn’t long before I noticed the tractor had a problem going on which I knew meant the transmission fluid was low. So I pulled over and parked and walked back to where the quad runner was parked, about a quarter mile.
Off for a ride
Nothing to do now but go for a quad runner ride as I didn’t think I had any oil at home.
I rode up to the ridge top where this overlook overlooks the town of Guerneville.
I rode around some roads on the way home.
Inspecting the crossing
I stopped at this crossing to see what I needed to do to improve this as it’s slowly been washing out. I think some steel fence posts driven into the ground to make a dam should improve this crossing.
I drove on and stopped at this creek crossing and added some more rocks. The rocks keep the winter creek water from washing out the crossing.
Still a couple apples left on the tree
When I got down to the bottom of the hill I was thinking an apple would be good so I drove over by these bee hives. The tree there has some apples in it. I was able to reach two of them and they were good.
I continued on back to my house where I sat around for a bit.
My personal dump truck
Eventually I got my little personal dump truck going and went out to the front gate and loaded the dumper with dirt. I hauled the dirt across the property to a place that needed some.
And another project before winter
I did some chair hopping. Late in the day I walked over to our old bridge that is in need of some repairs. This bulkhead rotted away and now the high winter water is washing things out.
I made some plans to fix it which I’ll be doing soon before winter sets in.
I’m sure you heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away………..you had two so I hope you didn’t wake with a tummy ache!

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.
