Barry and Gerald came by this morning with new tires for the trailer. Gerald got them on and they were ready to roll.
Last look
I watched as they pulled out with my old Toyota. It served me well through the years.
Work on the forest pipes
I needed to do a few more things with the new pipeline. I drove on up to here where there is a spring. I needed to run some new pipe down the hill to the left, so I unrolled it on the road first, then pulled it down the hill to another spring where the new pipeline starts.
This is the upper spring I hooked the new pipe to, that I ran down the hill to the next spring, just below this one.
Ditched
I buried the new pipe a couple inches in the ground on the roadway just to give it a little protection.
Then I moved down the pipe to the next road it crossed and put a small ditch in here.
It’s ready to cover the pipe up, which I did.
I’d parked my rig by the little pond.
Then I moved the rig down to the lower spring where the new pipeline starts to go down the hill on the left.
I put a tee in the line to hook the upper spring to the lower spring which connects to the pipeline that goes down the hill to the left.
I ditched that one and covered it up and drove on over to a break area for a break.
Where the water goes
The new pipe will deliver the spring water down to this spot.
That spot needed a small ditch for the pipe to keep it from getting run over.
Water
This is where the water spills out of the pipe into this puddle I made. I enlarged it to this size today. This would be a nice place for a pond. Hummmm?
I headed on home after that and did some chair hopping and ate a bunch of cherries.
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.
