Park guys

I rode on up to where the park guys were working in the park as I wanted to chat with one of the guys.park1

A turn out and parking area on the narrow park road that they are working on.parking2

They are also restoring this area where there used to be a road through that spot.redwoods3

The guy I was looking for was off today, but I did find another guy eating lunch in his track that I chatted with and will come back tomorrow to chat with the other guy.truck4

Electric tester repair

One of my test leads on my tester broke off and I lost it somewhere, so I needed to put something on the lead to replace it. I chose a clip for it. I soldered on the clip and put some shrink tubing on it to make it stronger.lead5

Now I can use the tester again.meter6

Epoxy repair

One of the wooden doors on this compartment in my van had cracked which needed repaired.cracked7

I got out the epoxy and mixed some up to repair the crack.epoxy8

I used tape to hold things together and straight, while the epoxy dried.taped9

The blue tape is only temporary, but I like the looks of it.door10

Trailer boards

My trailer boards could use a coat or two or three of oil, but first I  have to clean out the stuff that fell from the big redwood tree where I keep it. I sweep it out and put a coat of oil on it to dry.trailer11

Trip prepping

I worked some more getting the stuff I’ll need in the van for the trip. I think I’m getting close to getting it all loaded up.

Spring crossing

I asked one of the neighbors to fix this ditch and clean out this culvert where a spring crosses the road here. He said he fixed it and I should check it out to see if he did ok on the job. He opened it up pretty good with his little backhoe.culvert12

He made this new drainage ditch for it that should work pretty good.ditch13

Solar panels

In the evening after the sun went down and the panels had cooled down, I got some soap and water to clean these solar panels off a bit as they were pretty dirty and I wanted them clean for the trip I’m going on soon.panels13

That got them nice and clean.panels14

Nice day.
