I was pretty much set up to do some chicken roosts this morning as I got it all together yesterday. The peeps won’t need a roost for quite some time, but it’s something that needed to get done and out of the way.
Putting it here
Here’s where I’m constructing this first chicken roost. I put some cement blocks in the ground mostly because I had them. They might keep the chickens from digging up under the posts.
Adjusting as I go
I had an idea of what I wanted to make, but I adjusted the plan as things progressed and this is what I ended up with.
Need to let the peeps into this pen soon
Here it is from another angle. I wanted to get the heavy construction done in this pen as I’d like to let the peeps into it soon, maybe tomorrow.
Making things for the peeps
I need to block some of the smaller holes I have around the doors for the little peeps so they can’t get out. I hadn’t really designed things for little peeps, but some adjustments here and there should make it all work out for them.
Ice cream like smoothies
As always I visited the raspberry patch and the blueberry patch. I also picked some of these to make some frozen type banana smoothies. I freeze the bananas and put some ice cubes in it to make a sort of ice cream without the ice cream that is just about as good as ice cream. Hummmmm good.
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.
