Barry came by. He was taking his chainsaw up on his old bike to cut some trees off the roads. Only trouble was he hadn’t ridden the old bike for quite some time and the battery was weak, so he had to jump the old battery to get it started.
He took off for the hills and I soon took off myself to cut the big log jam off the road.
I ran into him cutting this tree off the road.
Log jam
I continued on up to the big log jam to set to work on it.
I had to cut and clean up these logs and brush first.
Supervisor
Barry came by to supervise for a bit.
He got his phone out to take a video of me cutting this big fir log free.
The top of the tree was hanging up in the air over the side of the hill so when I started to cut it, it split up like this which was ok as I was ready for it.
Barry took off to cut some more trees off the road and I continued to cut the rest of the big log off the road.
I had to cut the big log up to get it in small enough pieces to move off the road.
It took awhile but I did get the road cleared off. The big one, up in the air, I left as it was too dangerous to cut, so I left it to drive under.
There’s enough cleared out to get a truck under the big log.
Spring
That was enough to tire me out and get some exercise. I headed to the nearest spring for a drink of water.
I drank a couple cups of spring water.
I stopped at this overlook for a rest. Just a blue sky today, but I’ll take it.
I heard Barry sawing a tree not far away so I rode on over. He had it all done so we rode on back to my house.
That’s some serious road clearing going on. Glad you two know what you’re doing with those big logs.

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.
That’s some serious road clearing going on. Glad you two know what you’re doing with those big logs.
