I was thinking of just sitting around today mostly and enjoying the yard.
I got up feeling a bit tired out. Then I saw my brother Barry out in the front yard with his dirt bike.
I went out to talk and didn’t really feel like going so I told him to go for a ride by himself so we sat around talking for a bit and the sun warmed me up.
Off we go
So I said let me get my shoes on and we’d go for a dirt bike ride.
Barry’s getting the gate we have to go through to head up into the hills.
Trees down
It was real windy up here yesterday so there were some trees down across the roads here and there.
Hey if you’re talking pictures you can’t do the work.
Top of the World
We rode around for an hour or so then headed for a break at the Top of The World here.
With the sun shinning down on us we had a nice long break, just enjoying the day and shooting the bull.
Let’s ride
Eventually it was time to ride, so we headed off for about another hour of riding around the hills eating up the roads.
We rode up and down and around and eventually headed towards home as I was worn out from all the riding.
Barry saw Tom working on pruning a small apple tree so we stopped for a bit to shoot the bull.
Barry took off for home and I had a nap for a bit.
Moving the freezer
Then I went out to my cluttered garage to check out a freezer I had stored in there as I wanted to move it to my back porch to start using it soon as I’m thinking of buying a quarter of beef maybe.
I wasn’t planning to get it out of the clutter yet but I started moving things and eventually got enough stuff moved to get the freezer out of the garage where I can test it to see if it still works. It was brand new when a lady gave it to me as she didn’t need it as she moved so it should be good.
Tending chickens
As always the chickens are eager to get into the front yard to graze. I tried to count them all as they went through the gate. I got around 48 I think but they are hard to count.
Freezer test
The freezer has been running for a few hours now so I checked the temp from me just randomly setting the deal. It read –5 F. Looks like it works just fine.
The day turned out pretty good for not planning to do anything.
Great day for a ride and it sounds like with a little bit of sitting around, your brother can encourage you to do almost anything! Ha! Was it like that when you were both young? :) The resting part at the top of the world appeals to me – the sunshine especially.
That’s a lot of chickens! :)

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.
