Not much rain today, only a small drizzle for a short time. Not even enough to get wet.
I headed up the hill to do some trial work and got this far.
I got that cut up and moved it off the road.
A few clouds in the sky at the trailhead overlook.
I walked out the trail that starts here to do a bit of trail work.
I’d planned to work on this part of the trail, up to my resting chair.
I’d widened out the trail down to this big root and was sitting in my chair resting up when I heard, what are you doing. I said resting up. It was Tom and he had gotten his rig stuck while hauling out some wood he was cutting and needed some help getting unstuck.
I put the tools up and we walked out the trail to the overlook.
We headed to the other side of the property where his rig was stuck.
We took different paths to get there and I only made it to here when I ran into the mother of all tree falls. This big fir tree had fallen yesterday or last night and took a bunch of smaller trees down with it.
Lots of trees to remove in this pile but not today.
I turned the rig around and took another road to where he was stuck. We weren’t sure how the new rig would work pulling him up this muddy hill. It did real good and we got it up the hill.
We made it out and you can see his muddy tires are full of wet mud. My rig has tractor type tires and did much better in the mud.
I followed him home where we dropped his rig then we headed back up the hill to retrieve his other rig.
We rode back up to this big pile of downed trees to check them out. That’s going to take some work to clear this mess.
That’ll keep you busy for a while.
Another use for your new toy, pulling Tom out.

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.
That’ll keep you busy for a while.
