I was in the process of moving these cement blocks to another spot I needed them. I got one load done and during the loading of the next load, my back gave me a warning with a sharp pain.
Ride in the forest
I was a bit hunched over and was headed to get a cold pack on my back when my brother Barry pulled in with his truck and dirt bike. I said, give me a half hour on the cold pack and I’ll be ready to go.
I got the cold pack and we shot the bull for awhile before taking off. My back felt fine for now.
Apples
Barry wanted to stop at my brother Tom’s garden to see if there were any tasty apple’s left on the trees. There were some so I filled my pockets.
Garden
His garden area.
And some apple trees with apples.
Lots of chickens
We went by his chickens. He has a lot more of them than I do as he sells eggs at the farmer’s markets.
Up this trail
Now that we had a snack for later we headed on up this trail and rode around for some time.
We occasionally had to stop and get stuff off the road so we could pass by.
I was throwing rocks off the road when Barry caught up with me.
Barry had some clippers so trimmed some branches that would hit us in the head at several locations.
Break time
We made it up to the top of the mountain where we take a break for a good spell just enjoying the day.
Sky
The sky view from that spot.
Crashed
Eventually we took off and rode around some more. I hit a big old dead tree knot laying in the road and my back tire spun out causing the bike to go sideways on this road so I fell down. I’m usually going pretty slow when the bike falls over.This one was soft dirt so getting the bike back up was the worse part of this one.
We headed for home and Barry took off for his house and I did some chair hopping around the yard.
Crab for dinner
Later my brother Tom gave me five crab to eat. They should last me several days. Here’s three of them, cooked and ready to go.
Oh good. Your brother did provide you with some crabs. I guess you had been nice to him. I forget, I remembered one brother was going crabbing, but I don’t know if he’s the same as the apple tree brother. Whatever, you do have access to some good stuff. Enjoy, and hope your back doesn’t fuss tomorrow about what you did today.
The trail looked nice, very green and leafy like back home on the farm.
Tom has a lot of chickens. I see a math problem in there somewhere…. Tom has X chickens, Bob has Y chickens and Barry has more than Bob not as many as Tom….. I already have a headache.
Hope your back problem isn’t made worse by the spill today, never fun to spill.
Enjoy the crab.

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.
Here’s hoping all that wonderful food heals your back.
