I heard my brother Barry was up in the hills cutting his firewood. Seemed like a good time to hop on the dirt bike and go for a ride up there, so off I went.
I found him at the top of the hill and parked the bike.
We sat around shooting the bull for a bit, then he got back to work and I went off for a dirt bike ride.
View spot
I stopped here where I cut this tree out of the way of the view and now the stump makes a nice chair to enjoy the view.
I sat and enjoyed the view for a bit and rested up before continuing my ride.
Van’s shackle bushing repair
When I returned home, I got to work on the van’s shackles, taking this one apart.
These things always seem to be a hassle, especially getting the rubber bushings out which always seem to be stuck.
Other side
I got that one apart and moved over to the other side of the van and took the right side shackle off too. Now I can check out the parts and see what I need to order up to get these fixed up right.
Exercise
I did some chair hopping and around three, I rode up to this trail and walked out it and moved dirt until 5;30 for some exercise.
You sure do get your exercise on those trails. Love the tree stump chair.

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.
Van repairs seem like a sign for travel.
You sure do get your exercise on those trails. Love the tree stump chair.
