I was going to hook up my trailer to my car and go get my blade that is being fixed at the repair shop this morning but Barry showed up for a dirt bike ride, so off we went heading up into the forest in the hills.
We rode around a bit then Barry headed down the back road where we ran into the Goat Lady working her goats. She has over a hundred of them. She raises them for meat.
We started to ride into her place as I wanted to talk with her, but she cut us off at the gate as she didn’t want her guard dogs to get used to people and not do their job.
We had s good chat with her. I’m supposed to load her pickup with dirt the next time I bring my Skiddy up into the hills.
We took off from there and rode around some more, eventually ending up at our break area at the top of the ridge, here.
Barry heads for his hammock under the trees there, while I sit in a chair.
No clouds in the sky today, only the sun which is nice for a fall day. Just right.
Eventually we left here and rode around some more and then we headed for home.
I went in for a nap and Barry took off for his place.
Trailer hookup
After a good nap, I went out in the yard to do some chair hopping and eventually hooked up the trailer to my car.
I got the trailer all hooked up to go get Skiddy’s blade tomorrow.
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.
