It was raining lightly last night and continued today. I was in bed and I heard a knock at the door. It turned out to be an old friend, Doug, who I used to do stuff with but hadn’t seen in a long time.
I told him to go out and check out my chickens while I got up and dressed, he had his rain jacket on.
So, once I got dressed up warmly, we sat outside and shot the bull for a few hours. Then we walked over to my brother Tom’s garden just for a short walk and ran into Tom over there. Tom used to work with Doug so they shot the bull some then Tom says I’ll get some stuff together for you when I get back to the house.
Tom took off for home and we worked our way back to my house. Tom came by with a sack of potatoes and some frozen rock fish and some other stuff for Doug. Doug made out pretty well.
We shot the bull a little more which did most of the day in and Doug took off for home. I went in the house and got something to eat and that was my day. It’s still raining lightly but I hear it is supposed to pick up. Let it rain.
If you need the rain, that’s good! If not, this too shall pass. :)
Nice to have a visit from Doug and Tom was generous, as usual.

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.
If you need the rain, that’s good! If not, this too shall pass. :)
