I needed a tarp to shade my Toyota as I expect I’ll be working on it for quite some time, but I didn’t have the right tarp for the job, so I needed to go get one, so I got my shopping list together and drove on over to the shopping area. I found a tarp that would work and picked up a few other things too for my up coming Continental Divide Trip I’m prepping for.
I went by Joe’s house on the way home for a bull session, but he wasn’t home so I returned to my house and started putting up the tarp over the Toyota. I needed some poles for the job so I went out to my black bamboo patch and cut some to size and installed the tarp. I used quite a few bungee cords to help it sway with the wind, hopefully.
Tarped Toyota
Here’s the tarp set up over the Toyota.
The rest of the day I puttered around the yard doing some trip planning and chair hopping enjoying the nice day. I ate some blue berries, wild plums and harvested a few more potatoes from the potato patch.
Hi Dennis
Your fancy Land Cruiser looks like you have it fixed up real nice. I noticed it right away when I first saw it in the parking lot at Jenner. Having a Toyota Land cruiser has helped a lot to make my life a much fuller one from all the outdoor experiences I’ve experienced over the years.

It tickled me to see you have an old FJ, too, Bob. I sent you an email with some photos of my ’78 and my ’89 LC’s

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.
