First thing today I laid my camera down someplace outside and couldn’t find it until the end of the day.
New chicks
I checked the new chicks to make sure they were doing ok and they were. I have two so far and no more were born today as far as I can tell. I put some water and feed near the nest box so the new chicks could get some without falling down off the nest box.
Gate mod planning
Next I worked on figuring out how to change the big gate to the chicken coup, the one I drive my car through to get feed to the chickens when I buy it. I need to modify it so it works out better. I have some ideas on what to do and will get the mods done eventually. Seems I just have too much physical type stuff to do lately and my body can’t keep up with it all, but I try just the same.
Maybe tomorrow
I was planning to ride the dirt bike up into the hills for a ride but never did get to it today. I was tired out from all the work up in the hills and had a hard time getting it going so rested up most of the afternoon.
Cut some more metal
Towards evening I got the saws all out and cut some more metal pieces on the bulkhead I’m removing. I worked almost until dark on that and was pretty beat after that. The job is getting done slowly.
Just pace your self and you will slowly get it done.

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.
