I needed to get some supplies today so I was off to the shopping areas once I got it going around noon.
Chicken feed first
On the way I stopped in Sebastopol to check out this feed store to see what I could find for chicken feed as I don’t use the standard chicken feeds. I mostly use whole seeds when I can find them, such as whole oats and whole barley and what ever else I can find at each store as they all carry different stuff.
Here’s The Feed Store I went to.
I was able to pick up four sacks of stuff for the chickens. I signed up for their discount card and no tax for meat animal feed. Nice people in that store.
And to the hardware store
From there I went to a big hardware store to get some fencing for my chicken protection and some other supplies to keep me busy working on projects.
Here I am in the fencing section of the store.
Visiting Marty and Patti
That was all the shopping I could handle so I went on over to Marty and Patti’s place to kibbutz on my Toyota master cylinder brake hookup problem.
Marty and I went out into his shop and tried some different stuff. He had a tool that would do double flares on brake lines that we tried out and a few parts.
I got some ideas
We didn’t get it done, but I think I know what I need to do to complete this job. I borrowed some of his stuff and went on home.
Unloaded at home
Once home I had to unload the stuff I bought and put the feed in the chicken house. Those fifty pound sacks are heavy, I’m glad they don’t use the 100 pound sacks anymore.
I fed and watered the chickens and the day was over.
Sounds like the chickens have food for a while again.
That is a ton of various fencing choices!
Good luck with the brake fix.

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.
Sounds like the chickens have food for a while again.
