I was planning to go to the shopping areas and pickup some chicken feed today but when I went outside around noon my brother Barry was there in his truck with his dirt bike on it so I changed my plans and went for a dirt bike ride up in the hills with him. With the recent rains the dirt up in the hills was nice to ride and no dust either.
We took off headed for the top.
We made it to the Top of the World but didn’t stop for our usual break since we’d just gotten started.
New easy trail
Barry says you ever been up this trail. I say no and he say’s it’s mostly easy so he took off first to show the way and I find him stopped in a spot to point out the trail for me which I head up and come out here waiting for him, but he doesn’t show up. Turns out where he’d stopped to show me the way was loose and he couldn’t get started as his rear tire kept spinning out as the dirt was soft in this spot from the rains.
I could hear him down in the trees starting and stopping but it took him around ten minutes to get out of there and he finally shows up.
We rode around licitly split for just over 2 hours and covered most of the roads at least twice.
Winter apples yummy
On the way home Barry heads over to here at my brother Tom’s garden. I knew what he was doing.
He stopped to get a couple tasty winter apples to eat.
We made it back to my house and he headed on home. I had a nice break.
Headed to the feed store
It was late in the afternoon but still enough time to drive down to the feed store about a half hour away so I thought I might as well get it over with so I wouldn’t have to do it tomorrow.
I went to the front and ordered my stuff and then pulled into the back while the guy loaded the feed into my car while I watched.
I got to watch him load up the feed but when I got home I had to unload it so I drove on over to the chicken coop.
Now all I have to do is get it all in the feed house there in the back.
Nothing like a full feed house to keep the chickens happy.
By this time it was getting dark so I closed up the chickens for the night and went in the house for the day.
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.
