Still no power today. Barry showed up for a ride in the hills. We took off and rode around for awhile, then went to my cousin’s place and shot the bull with them for a bit.
After that, Barry was eager to get up to the break spot, so we rode right up there as it wasn’t far from my cousin’s place as it’s on their property.
It was a fairly nice day with some clouds in the sky and sun too.
We took off from there and rode around some more. We had to stop so Barry could remove this small tree off the road, while I watched.
Mushrooms
While we were riding, we ran into Dominique who was out for a walk. She said she’s been seeing some mushrooms out so her and Barry walked down the road looking for some.
Barry has a bunch of mushrooms in his bag as we head back to where our bikes are parked.
We worked our way back to my place from there and Barry took off for his place.
I had a bit of a nap.
Eventually, I was back outside chair hopping with the chickens.
More daffodils are blooming each day. I like these yellow ones.
With nothing better to do, I thought I’d weld this hook on this loader bucket.,,,But.
I’d forgotten there was no power to run the welder.
So instead I did something that didn’t take electrical power and moved these cement blocks into place on the bridge bulkhead.
The blocks are large enough to keep the high water from washing them away and they help to keep the water from washing under the metal pieces.
Power back on
We were running on the generator but I got an email about 7 saying the power was back on. Great.
Hi Bob, you are really getting some great tools for yourself. The skid steer, side by side, sawzall, now I would like to suggest you upgrade chainsaws. I have cut alot of firewood in my life and Husqvarna saws are the best. Check out a 550 XP Mark II any saw close in the Husky line will do. Light weight, easy starting, and way less vibration. Your the man keep up the good work your trail system is very impressive. I was told once that if you rest you will rust. ha ha . No rust in your future. Thanks again for the journey.

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.
