It was raining again this morning so no use getting it going too soon so I stayed in bed a bit longer and it finally stopped just before noon.
Once I got it going and I took care of the chicken’s needs I thought a dirt bike ride would be good.
Dirt bike ride
I checked the gas in the dirt bike and headed up into the hills to check on the forest fire rehab areas to see how they were doing as far as any erosion or not from the recent rains.
Fire break areas
I rode on up into the hills to this fire break area. Things had a little erosion but not bad as I rode down this break area.
Cold out
I did make a mistake and did not wear enough warm clothes today and the chill was going right through me.
I parked here to walk around a bit and check out this fire break area which looked pretty good.
I checked out this fire break area too, also looking good.
Little walk
I noticed this little flat looking area, an area I’d never checked out before so I went for a little walk in it to see what I could see.
And walked through this area to get back to the dirt bike. I had my eyes open for any new wild mushrooms popping up. I saw a few old ones and that was about it.
Should have dressed better
I got back to were the dirt bike was parked and continued on my ride, still getting chilled. I should of worn more warm clothes.
Overlook
I rode on up the the Guerneville overlook area to have a look.
The town of Guerneville is down there, but I was pretty chilled by now and headed on out to check one more fire break area on the ridge top.
This is a pretty big fire break which was holding up well to the rains.
Spring check
By now I was so chilled I headed back down the hill stopping to check out this spring to see if the water had increased yet from the recent rains which it had not but it was running good so I got a drink and headed for home chilled clear through.
On the way home I checked out this area lower on the hill which was looking good with lots of new grasses coming up.
Chickens out
Once I got home it was time to let the chickens out into the front yard for the day so I did that and then went in the house to try and warm up crawling into bed.
Chilled clear though
It took a long time to warm up, I should of taken a hot shower and then crawled back in bed but I didn’t so it took a long time to get the chill out of me.
Around dark I went out to close up the chickens for the night and went back in the house and that was it for me today.
I had a nice ride even though I got too cold, but with the recent rains the forest was real nice.
you have great otter pics my twelve pound rat terrier swam across river to pick a fight with four otters they went underwater dog started to swim back got pulled almost under twice she barely made it back probably dis located hip lacerations on foot fine in two days
There isn’t much that feels worse than getting chilly like that, away from home and a distance ahead of you before you start to warm up. Hope that chill didn’t get into your bones and give you a cold.
The sun was obviously deceiving!

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.
