The corn thing got me last night so I didn’t sleep good nor did I this morning and got it going today around 2PM, such as it is,….. flow with it I say, so I try, as things mostly go better then fighting it.
Anyway I didn’t get any sleep especially after the chopper started around 9.
Dirt bike ride to visit my cousin
So I wasn’t in the mood to do much except some chair hopping around the yard but then decided to jump on the dirt bike and go up and visit my cousin who lives up on top of the hill.
Smoky skies
When I went out into the yard it was all smoky and I was hoping no fires where in the area.
Having a look around
As long as the chopper was flying the debris in the park I figured there must not be any fires in the area or he’d be working on that instead so I did some sitting around until I jumped on the dirt bike to ride up higher on the hills to have a look around at the smoke.
Water
I did ride past the water tanks to check the water level which was almost full which is always good.
Then I rode down this road called the Pool Ridge Road about a mile or so to her house.
Almost to my cousins house, just up ahead.
Shooting the bull
I talked with her about their recent vacation and then her husband joined us and we discussed vaccines and health and stuff concerned with real estate. I stayed an hour or so then took off headed for home a different way than I came up.
What’s that
I passed by this and had to back up to check it out. Looks like a big hornets nest that some animal or bird destroyed eating the contents.
Fish emulsion
Back home I did a bit of napping then went outside for some chair hopping and decided to mix up some fish emulsion to fertilize my blueberry patch as I’m trying to get the bushes to put out more new growth so I get more berries.
Smelly stuff
One has to be real careful mixing the fish stuff as if just a little gets on you that smell stays with you and it’s not nice.
About a cup of emulsion in the bucket.
And then fill the bucket with water and put the mixture in the sprinkle can.
Blueberry patch
Then I took the mixture into my blueberry patch and did all the blueberry plants.
A bit more sitting around in the evening enjoying the end of the day.
I checked on the chicks and here they are bedded down for the night. I need to get them to go up on a roost soon as it’s much healthier for them to keep them out of their poo.
Wishing you a better day tomorrow, Bob.
Would love to know the history of your family there.
Who was the original land owner?
Did they used to own the State Park land?

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.
Sorry for the corn night #$%^&*()(*&^==found new kayak waters making a list ofem.
