I needed to put some rock on the old dirt road as there might be some rain coming in and I needed to repair some of the tire ruts.
So, I headed up through the state park and got my rig going.
I repaired this crossing some to get the water to flow better.
And I hauled some rock to this area, the steepest part of the road, to fix some tire ruts.
Almost stuck
I almost got stuck in this part on the left. It was wet and soft and Skiddy sunk in it pretty bad so I had to haul quite a bit of rock into it to fix it up to get it in this shape. That also told me to quit while I was ahead as things are still pretty wet and I was making things a bit messy.
I pretty much got what needed to be done, done.
Park’s kiosk
I headed for home from there down through the state park. Here’s another photo of where the parks kiosk building used to be, before a truck smashed it. The park guys cleaned it up.
Back home a nap was in order.
Culvert clean out
Eventually I went over to our property to this creek.
The culvert there needed the sticks cleaned out of it to prevent a plug up.
I carefully got down there and carefully removed the sticks without getting wet.
Then it was back home to chair hop around the yard with my chickens.
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.
