I ordered up a manual adjust for my dirt bike awhile ago and today was the time to get it installed. The one that came with the bike varies the idle all the time and messes up the hold back when going down hills on compression.
I had to remove all the plastic and move the gas tank a bit to get to the part.
The red thing is the new part I installed. It’s in a rather tight spot to get to.
I started the bike and adjusted the new idle a bit, but will have to adjust it more when I go for a ride.
Window out
I helped Tom remove this old window so he could install some newer ones, which didn’t take long.
Forest ride
Later in the day, I took the dirt bike for a ride to test out the new idle thingy.
I rode down this road. I had to adjust the idle thingy several times when I first took off, but eventually, I got it pretty good.
I made it up to our break area for a break.
Fish doing their job
I checked this pool to see if the mosquito fish were still alive I put in there the other day. I saw at least one of them and I didn’t see any mosquito larva in the pool so they appear to be doing their job eating the larva.
After some riding around, I headed towards home down this road.
After testing out the new manual adjuster, the bike appears to work better all the time, not just going down hills, so that was a success.
Mulberry tree berries
Mulberry trees have lots of berries that seem to ripen for a month or more.
Mine are ripening now, so I put a ladder up this tree.
They have lots of berries on them.
As you can see.
When they turn black like this one, they go into the mouth. Yummy.
I spent the evening chair hopping around the yard with the chickens.
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.
