When I looked out the window this morning my brother Barry was outside with his truck and dirt bike. I went out to talk with him but told him I couldn’t go riding today as I had an appointment with the VA for my annual checkup.
He took off for the hills and I went back inside until I had to leave for my appointment about a half hour drive away.
They just built this new place in a new location and it was my first time there so I allowed a little extra time.
The new VA place as I pulled into the parking lot.
Most of my lab tests were real good and what wasn’t was still ok with me. I had an understanding Doc that wasn’t pushy about anything, just the way I like it.
I left there headed for Costco, but since it was a new place I got lost trying to get out of there and headed in the right direction for Costco, but I finally got going right and I was shortly at Costco after checking with my GPS thingy.
I got my normal stuff and a couple warm shirts as they were out for the winter season. And of course I bought a few other food things, just because I could.
I got back on the road headed for home just before 5 and was happy when I got out of the go-home type traffic for the city and onto the country roads.
I got home just in time to put the chickens away for the night and unloaded all my goodies.
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.
