I had some final stuff to do on the van today, to get ready to leave tomorrow on a trip.
Check the tire pressures and check the transmission oil. Check, check, all is good.
Then I just worked on getting the last of the things loaded up, check, check.
Around five, I hopped on the dirt bike and rode on over to collect the eggs at my brother’s chicken pen and then rode on up into the forest for a short ride.
I think I have everything ready to go now. I’ll be leaving some time tomorrow morning and headed northeast up towards Downieville, taking highway 49.
As always, I’ll post when I can get a cell connection.
Have a smooth and enjoyable trip. Destination? Or just off and away for a month…..Whatever, enjoy.

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.
May you have a nice trip and God bless you as you travel.
Have fun, and stay safe. I look forward to reading about your latest adventure.
