A Visit With a Neighbor’s Dogs and a Good Ride Around the Hills

Saturday October 29, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Visiting day

It seemed like a good day to ride the dirt bike up into the hills and visit one of my neighbors who lives on the hill tops.

I took off and stopped here to throw those little logs off the road.logs

 

Neighbor’s place

The neighbors live five or so miles up the road just past this spot about another half mile or so.road

 

Hazy

The view today was on the hazy side, maybe from a controlled burn. That tallest peak is where we always stop to take a break, where the hammock is.view

 

Only dogs

I made it to the neighbors place. Three dogs were home and greeted me at the gate. I went in and no one else was around.

That’s ok, as it was a good ride up into the hills and across their place.

After visiting with the dogs a bit, I headed on back to our place and rode around the hills for a couple of hours, just enjoying the day.

The view of the town of Guerneville was real hazy too.guerneville

 

Checking out a road

I rode on over to another neighbor’s place to check out a road that went up into the hills that the fire guys used to fight the forest fire a couple years ago. They left the rode in bad shape and water is running down it and messing it up. I was thinking of repairing it for the neighbor and making it so water doesn’t run down it as we may need it again someday.

I’ll likely work on it the next time I get the dozer started up.

Anyway I rode around all afternoon and then went on home. I was tired out so a big nap was in order and that was my day.

Nice day.

Banking, Puttering and Moving Woodchips Around the Yard

Friday October 28, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Banking

My credit card got locked out when I was on the trip as if it doesn’t work twice they lock me out. A phone call is needed but where I was at the time there was no cell phone service so I just left it like that until I got home and rested up. So today I needed to get the card fixed up so I decided to just go down to the bank as I had some other questions about using the debit card.

The guy fixed me up and answered my questions.

I also got an email today that my power bill of 1.47 did not get paid because it was on that card. I’d thought I put it on a bank account about six mouths ago so I called to get that fixed up with the power company. The bill was real low because I was out tripping and I also got a clean air credit.

That taken care of I went out in the yard and took it easy warming up in the sun.

Moving woodchips

I needed to move some woodchips to several places around the yard so I got my dump truck and loader and loaded up some woodchips.mulch1

 

Mulberry tree

Woodchips are mulch so I started moving some to the mulberry tree and got this far and hoped to get it all by dark, this evening.tree

 

Chicken pens

I put some fresh mulch in this chicken pen. It helps keep the pen clean and absorbs a lot of nutrients from the chickens.pen3

 

And I put some chips in the chicken’s mulch pen.pen4

 

I did a lot of chair hopping around the yard, just taking it easy and enjoying the day.

Watering

I put some water on this  mulch to help break down the woodchips and also water the avocado tree on the right.water5

 

Lunch

I was getting hungry so I went to the chicken pen and grabbed six of these eggs and cooked them up for lunch.eggs6

 

Mulched

Just before dark I hauled some more chips to the mulberry tree and that was done.tree7

 

I decided to put the water on the chips to help break them down faster.water8

 

Sunset

And I sat around and chair hopped while the sun went down behind the hills to my west.sunset9

 

Nice day.
