I thought I’d start off the new year on the right foot and since the rain stopped for now and it was a sunny day, I rode the dirt bike up into the hills to work on a trail.
I parked the bike and walked up the trail.
Forest walk
On the way up, I decided to go for a hike down into this area to explore around a bit, which I did.
Trail work
After that, I came back up to the trail I was going to work on here and had a good break to rest up a bit, then started to work making this trail a bit better in this spot.
Big stump
I also worked on the trail to get around this big stump easier.
Sundown
Around 2:30, the sun went behind the hills to my west.
Headed for home
I worked until just after four. I was going to go for a little dirt bike ride, but I dallied too long taking breaks while walking back down the trail, so I ran out of time and headed for home, instead.
This is the road I took to get home.
What’s that I hear
I was going through this area when I heard some water rushing. It sounded like a waterfall someplace in the creek on the right.
I got the bike stopped and walked over to the creek on the left to have a look where the sound was coming from.
The creek
Yep, there’s a small waterfall in the creek from some debris jamming things up a bit.
I stopped there for a few minutes enjoying the little fall.
And then hopped on the bike and rode the short distance to my house.
Long nap
I was tired when I got home so ate a crab and took a long nap, until eleven, and now I’m getting the blog together.
Still no phone line repair, so still no internet, and still posting at my neighbor’s place, next door. There’s no one home, so I won’t bothering anyone at this late hour.
Big storm coming your way, or so they say. You never know if it will materialize. Stay dry and eat another crab for me!!!

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.
