I’m running out of rat bait and these three rats really worked on cleaning things up last night.
Chores before the rain
Rain was expected real soon so I had some stuff to get done.
I had a couple bait blocks left so broke them up and put them in this feed station by my avocado tree where I have the game cam setup for pictures of what’s going on at night.
I loaded up the bait containers and put them under the lid to keep the rain out.
Crab for lunch
My brother Tom had been out on the ocean yesterday crabbing and he gave me three of them, cooked and ready to devour. I had one for lunch.
Fertilizing
It felt and looked like it was going to start raining any minute. I wanted to put some nitrogen out on some of my fruit trees as the woodchips tend to use it up and the rain would wash it into the ground so I got my bowl out and loaded it up.
I gave this mulberry tree a good shot of the nitrogen and a couple of apricot trees in the back got some too. Lucky the chickens didn’t try to eat the stuff.
Raining nicely
It wasn’t long before the rains started so it was in the house for me.
Shower
I had noticed my shower was past being dirty so with the rain and me stuck inside, today was the day to do something about that.
I got the supplies out and worked on it most of the rest of the day and got it fairly clean, at least a lot better than it was.
It’s funny … you would think the first night the rats ate that bait, they would die. Instead, they come back night after night.
I can taste that crab!!!!!

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.
