I sat around in the yard this morning enjoying the sun and getting it going. Nice blue sky today.
Pipe line work
I got my tools and drove the quad runner up into the hills to work on burying the spring water pipe line. I started here cutting a small ditch on the trail I made the other day.
And on down the hill.
Once I had abut 200 feet of trail ditch made I put the plastic pipe onto it for burying.
I had to move all the plastic pipe onto the trail ditch to get ready to bury it.
Brush cutting
I brought my brush loppers up to remove this part of a downed tree that was blocking my path.
And I worked on burying the pipe until I got down to where this part of the project ended by these big trees.
I dug the trail ditch a little ways past the end to get ready to dig the next part soon.
Once more section to do
I also cleared out the brush in this part where I will start to dig the trail ditch next time. I have about 200 more feet to do to get to the end of it just above the water tanks.
Back up the hill
Once the pipe was covered with dirt I had to walk back up the hill on the trail.
It was a steep climb back up the hill to the quad runner through here.
Headed for home
I’d worked until about 5:30 and now I was beat so I rode on home down this road.
Most of the chickens were in the roost already when I got home but when I opened the gate into the front yard they all came out to graze for a bit.
Daffodils
The daffodil blooms are getting better each day.
That work gave me a good work out today and wore me out nicely.
What a great work day. I love the idea of the sun and blue sky AND warmth! You did a lot today, it looks difficult in some areas.
That big tree where you stopped needs a hug! :)

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.
What a great work day. I love the idea of the sun and blue sky AND warmth! You did a lot today, it looks difficult in some areas.
