Marty came by so we sat around and shot the bull for awhile, then we rode up into the forest with a chainsaw and some chairs.
We stopped on the way up and left the chainsaw on the trail to use it on the way back.
We continued on up to the hill top with the chairs.
This was the sky view when we arrived but it soon changed.
Fog
Fog was creeping over the hills from the ocean after a short time up there.
We rested up and I made a couple of flats in the hill so we could sit in the chairs.
The sky had changed to this just before we left to continue our ride.
Trail work
This part of the trail was a little tipsy, so I did a little trail work and smoothed it out a bit.
Spring
We stopped here at this spring for a drink of water.
A bit of work
Here’s where I left the chainsaw on the way up the hill earlier. I wanted to clear out these small trees as a trail would be going through here soon, so we cut them down and cleared them out.
The new part of the trail will go right through those big ferns. I’ll have to transplant some of them.
We had a good ride up into the hills and got a few things done. Marty took off for home and I went in for a nap.
Crab
My brother Tom had been out crabbing today as the season had opened today, so I got one of them. Yummy for dinner.
A good thing to have generous brothers. You ate well. And had a coworker on the trail.

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.
