Barry and his nephew Gerald came by this morning to do some work on the pipeline project.
There was some old plastic pipe in the forest that I wanted to salvage to use on the new spring pipeline, but the trick was to get it out of where it was which wasn’t ‘going to be easy.
I parked the rig here.
We hooked the pipe to my rig and I pulled it tight, but it got stuck, so the guys headed down into here to try and free up the pipe.
It was my job to pull the pipe when I could, trying not to break the pipe or the rope. I was able to pull a little, but the pipe kept getting stuck and had to be delt with down the hill by my helpers.
My helpers where down in there someplace. I had walkie talkies that worked pretty good until my battery went dead.
We finally determined that the old pipe had too much water in it and Barry and Gerald let it out and then the pipe moved rather easily.
I pulled my part of the pipe out and Barry drug the other piece out. Tom just happened to come by, so he and Barry hooked his piece of pipe to Tom’s rig and he pulled it up to where I was.
We drug the pipes over to the other spring where it will get used, and dropped it off and went on home.
We were all pretty tired out after working on that.
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.
Congratulations. Team effort.
