I put the water on my two little coffee plants after I fertilized them. I’ve been trying to get them to take off growing as they’ve been slow to grow.
Coffee plant
They are starting to grow. This one has doubled in size.
Brush
Then I cut these bushes back but didn’t get around to cleaning up the brush yet.
Plugged up hose
I moved the sprinkler to the citrus trees and noticed the sprinkler wasn’t putting out the volume of water it should. After looking at the main pressure gauge and seeing there was plenty of pressure, I checked the hose and found the end of it had some kind of plug up in it.
Fixed it
I had installed a new end on the hose the other day and must of plugged up the end with part of the hose when I installed it. I got a drill out and clamped it with a pair of vice grips and opened up the plug.
That’s better, I now have full spray.
Frog
I like these old type sprinklers as they put out an even amount of water. These are called frogs.
Job prep
After that, I went over to our rental place to check out the two toilets and two new faucets I need to install soon. I wanted to check the stuff out and see what else I needed to install them, like hoses and shut off valves. I made a list which I’ll have to shop for soon before starting the job.
Ride in the forest
A bit later and after a nap, I rode on up into the forest to retrieve the game cam cards and just ride around checking stuff out.
The view from one of my rest spots up there.
I stopped on this trail to trim the trees back off the trail.
And stopped here to check out this spring that I might tap later.
Then I rode on over to the two springs where I have game cams set up and gathered up the cam cards.
These two deer spent a lot of time grazing around in front of this cam.
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.
