Barry came by today. He wanted to go up and cut some fallen trees off the roads so I joined him on my bike.
We rode up to here where I parked for a break while Barry rode up a steep hill to the left to cut a tree off it while I waited.
Then we moved to this spot. Barry had to walk up this hill too while I waited. I threw rocks off the road while he did that. He’s returning, tired out, after going up a real steep hill with his saw.
Next we rode down this road to do some more work.
We stopped here before the hill got real steep going down and Barry took his saw down the trail to cut some trees off the road.
While he was doing that, I got out my clippers and worked on widening out this part of the trail a bit until my back said it’d had enough.
Spring
We were both pretty tired out after that so we rode over to this spring for a drink of water.
Then we moved over to this spot where Barry did some more work on a tree while I waited.
This is the spot where i have a little pool of water.
Barry is trimming a downed tree off the road on this road.
We continued on to this tree where Barry made the sawdust fly. This one was almost too large for the chainsaw he had.
He had to cut the log into smaller ones so we could roll them off the road.
Barry was pretty beat after that last one so we headed towards home stopping at this spring for a drink of water. Nice to have all these springs on the property.
We had one more small tree to cut so we diverted from our homeward trek to cut it off the road.
We made it back to my place and Barry took off for his place. I went in for a nap.
Well deserved naps after all that! Glad the custom chainsaw rack is being used.

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.
Well deserved naps after all that! Glad the custom chainsaw rack is being used.
