Barry was out front with his dirt bike when I got it going today, so I joined him for a ride up into the hills.
We took off and rode around a bit when we ran into this downed tree that Barry moved off the road so we could get by as I took pictures. :O)
We took off and rode around some more.
Resting spot
Eventually we made it up to this spot for a rest as that’s what we usually do here.
Barry has a hammock set up here.
While I sit on the ground.
After a good break we rode down to my cousin’s place with this view, but no one was home.
We took off and rode around some more going up and down and around and around just having fun and enjoying the day.
Full water tanks
We went by the water tanks and I checked the pink and blue ribbon. It was on the ground and is hard to see and means the tanks are mostly full which is real nice. I have the sprinklers on the raspberry patch as I type this.
Armstrong Valley Farm squash
On the way back we stopped at brother Tom’s garden and picked a couple squashes.
Where’s the strawberries
I knew he had some strawberries in pots in this garden a while ago but we couldn’t find them as they must be in one of his other gardens.
From there we headed out and back to my place.
Barry left for his place and I had a bit of a nap as we had a good ride.
New peeps
A bit later in the day I did some chair hopping around the yard and also checked on the new chicks. Today there are five, one more than yesterday. That little black guy is hard to see, eh.
Around 4:30 my brother Tom came by and wanted a ride to go pick up his truck that he was having some work done on, so we did that.
Are you from Canada? The “eh” at the end of the caption about the new chicks made me wonder. They are so tiny, it’s a wonder any of them make it. But they do….
Thanks for your posts. I enjoy them.
No, I’ve just been around a lot of Canadians. :O) The chicks are even smaller than they look as they are actually smaller than the egg they came out of and can get threw one inch chicken wire, so they can be hard to keep in when they are real small.

I love to hear about your non-working rides. Such beautiful views up there.
Love the hammock idea!
Cute baby chick’s, had to zoom in to see the black guy.

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.
