Cherries, Napping, Forest Ride, Strawberries and Some Work On the Old Well

Thursday May 20, 2021 Guerneville CA.

Lazy day

I tended the chickens and did some chair hopping and some cherry eating and then needed a nap for a couple hours. It must have been all those cherries I ate.

Forest ride

Later in the afternoon I jumped on the dirt bike and rode up into the hills for a ride through the forest.

I stopped here at the ridge top and sat on those wood rounds on the left for a bit just enjoying the day.overlook1

 

Then off I went down through these trees.trail2

 

I took this trail.trail3

 

And stopped at what I call the Lost Ridge for a short break.ridge4

 

Then headed up this road just taking it easy and enjoying the forest.road5

 

And then I rode down this road headed for the strawberry patch.road6

I ate my fill of strawberries before heading on home.berries7

 

Eating cherries

Once home it was back up in one of my cherry trees to eat some more cherries. You have to eat the cherries before the birds get them all. This is my view from the ladder top.cherries8

 

Old well work

And then I went over to the old well and worked on removing some more sediment from the well for a bit, about a half hour.well9

 

The chickens joined me getting into the discharge water as they like to dig in the mud.chickens10

 

New peeps

Of course I checked on the new peeps throughout the day.

Replacing the Car’s Rear Struts and Tending New Peeps

Wednesday May 19, 2021 Guerneville CA.

Car work day

I got some new shocks the other day for my car so today I would install them.

So I got the tools out and  the jack and jack stands and jacked the car up.

Once the wheels where off I could get the old struts off the car.car

 

Big springs

Then I had to remove the big spring off the old shock and install it on the new one which is the hardest part of the job.

I’ve got the big spring moved to the new shock and is now ready to put back on.struts

 

Then I went around and did the other side of the car and got that side back together after a bit.carside

 

That took most of the day as I’d work a bit then sit down for a break and then do some more work as there was no rush to get it done.

Radio hookup

Late in the day Dominique brought her old VW bug by and I hooked up the radio wires for her. Now she is happy as she can have some tunes while driving.radio

 

New peeps

I tended the new chicks throughout the day too keeping an eye on them to keep them out of trouble.

It’s just before dark so they are in for the night except that one on the side that seems to be not sure where to go.peeps

 

Eventually this peep did find it’s home in one of he nest boxes.peep

 

Blackberry vines

I was walking by here and noticed these wild blackberry vines are taking over so I got out the loppers and cut them back a bit, which will only slow them down a bit.vines

 

That was actually a fairly easy day as I took my time working on the car and did some other stuff witch broke up the mechanicing.

Nice day.
