Here’s where Barry crashed his dirt bike yesterday. He was trying to ride up between the three light spots on the right which is twice as steep as the picture shows, almost straight up about ten feet. The rocks in the creek is where he ended up on his back. I heard he’s hurting some today.
Older times
When we were kids we’d ride around on our dirt bikes and fall down and get up and go without all the hurts of older age. :O)
Visiting
Today I jumped on the dirt bike to ride up to my cousin’s place to visit and show her and her husband what I know about the Jarbidge area in Northeastern Nevada as I’ve been going into that are for years.
I rode on up to their house but my cousin was out backpacking so I talked about other stuff with her husband for a bit.
Trail work
From there I rode on over to the area I have been working on the old trail and sat down to enjoy the view before getting started.
Resting up
I did some work on the trail for an hour or so and then sat on the rim of the canyon in this grass.
Sticks and rocks
It was still early enough for a dirt bike ride so I went around the hills a bit stopping in places like this to throw sticks and rocks off the road.
There’s always plenty of sticks on the road to throw off it. Good exercise, so I do it and it makes the dirt bike ride much nicer.
This thing
I spotted this thing as I was riding by so I stopped to pick up this garbage.
Just one of the things one has to put up with when you live out in the country. At least it tried to give me some kind of smile.
We’ve been riding around this little dead tree for a long time so I stopped to break it up and get it off the road.
Armstrong Valley Farm
I was thinking about those big ripe plums in my brother’s garden so I stopped there on the way home.
Big Plums
I ate one and put two in my pockets for later. Just as good as the last time I ate them.
Dinner stuff
I needed some zucchini. His plants are almost dead in this spot but I found two good ones.
From there I made it home and went around the yard sampling what fruit is getting ripe. Grapes are just starting to ripen up.
Such a beautiful farm…and the zucchini are too! I actually watched the video on Santa Rosa, and I am far from a video fan. So you live in good rich country. Enjoy!!
Hope Barry is back on the bike soon. We’re not spring chickens anymore!
Those plums look Delicious!!
And the zucchini.

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.
