Barry showed up for a dirt bike ride so we took off for the hills. We only rode a short distance to a spot and Barry stopped and said he wanted to hike down to a neighbor’s property line and find a metal pipe marker so we started hiking through the forest.
He spotted this redwood post so went over to it as it was near what he was looking for..
The post had a state parks metal sign on it and he found the metal pipe near it. Barry is a retired surveyor and does weird stuff like that.
He said he’d come back later and put some flags on the spot to mark it. It was a good hike back up the hill to our dirt bikes which wore us out a bit. Just some more needed exercise.
Spring
We needed a drink of water after that, so headed to this spring and got a drink of water.
Trees down
We rode around the place and ended up at these down trees to have a look and talked about how to remove them.
Break time
We rode around some more and eventually ended up at our ridge top break area for a break.
The sky was mostly blue today. Can’t complain about that.
We sat around there and shot the bull for quite some time.
After that we worked our way back to my house and Barry took off for his place.
I went in for a nap as that hike wore me out some.
After the nap, I went back outside and did some chair hopping with the 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.
