I needed some chicken feed and my supplier went out of business so I had to find some place else. Because of my corn thing I do not feed them the processed feed as most of it has corn in it. That means I have to feed them some kinds of seed.
New feed store
This all meant I had to drive further because most feed suppliers do not supply seed as it takes more people to get it into your rig which I suspect is the problem. Fortunately a guy loads the stuff as some of the bags are 80 pounds at this place.
I learned I should turn my car around like that truck to help the guy loading it so I did. I had quite a load in the car when I left.
Some shopping
Next I was off to Costco to do some shopping and then over to a hardware store where they were out of the things I needed. I especially wanted some manual water timers but with the drought on around here no one had any. I went to home Depot and Wal-Mart and no luck, so I tried online when I got home and ordered up five but they said they will be delayed and let me know which is ok as I don’t need them that bad but in my older age I tend to forget and not turn things off when I should, sometimes.
I was going to go to the Cheese Factory but it was 5:30 and I figured they’d be closed and I was ready for home anyway.
Nap time
I made it home and it was time for a nap before unloading the feed so nap I did.
Unloading those heavy bags
Eventually I got enough energy to move my car closer to the storage shed and get these sacks unloaded. Most of them are 70 pounds but one of them is 80,
After that I needed a break so sat in my chair. Something seemed wrong with my order but I wasn’t sure what as these where all new type bags to me but something wasn’t right.
Getting closer and what’s wrong
Anyway I eventually got up and moved the bags closer to the shed getting them ready to put in the shed, but first I got out the sales tag to try to figure out what I had. I finally determined that they’d given me an extra bag of rolled barley. Hummm, I’ll have to pay them for it when I go there next time.
Bags ready to be put in the shed but first another chair break as I could see I was going to have to wrestle them into the shed as they are heavy.
So I got the bags of feed into the shed and somewhat organized.
And of course it was break time again, in the house for a short nap.
Fertilizing
Once I got it going again I went outside to do some fertilizing with the stuff I bought today as my blueberry bushes just don’t seem to be growing much, likely because the woodchips sucking out the nitrogen.
Someone gave me some sulfur awhile back so I mixed some of that in too.
Then it was out to the blueberry patch and I fertilized everything in there and then turned the sprinkler on them to water the fertilizer in.
It was getting dark so I went in the house for the day.
I picked up a very small hand dolly to move around heavy bags of horse feed. With your welding skills, you could probably even make one!!

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.
