Tom brought his trailer over today. We needed to air up the tires and do a couple things to it to get it ready to go.
We checked out all the lights and got them going.
And then we headed on over to Santa Rosa. We were almost there when we saw real dark black clouds over Santa Rosa, and it rained and hailed.
We were here to pick up my new rig that was ready to go, the green one, not that hot rod one. :O)
The rain let up some as we pulled into this parking lot and loaded up my new work horse.
Back home, we unloaded the new Honda.
I rode it back to my house and loaded up my chainsaw to go for a ride and cut a few trees off the roads.
I didn’t get far when I ran into this one, but I couldn’t get the chainsaw started so I turned around and went another way thinking, I’d likely get that on the way back if I got the chainsaw going later.
I was trying the machine out going up hills and down hills to see how it performed and stopped here at the ridgetop. It was doing very well on the hills, both going up them and down them.
I was riding along here when I ran into my cousin and her two dogs. She asked if I’d cut that tree out of the way so we did.
She took this picture of me with my new toy. I think it’s going to be a real work horse
I remembered this tree from yesterday that got in my way, so drove down to it and cut it out of the way as I’d gotten the chainsaw going earlier.
All cleared off the road.
On the way home, I cut up the tree I first saw that the chainsaw wouldn’t start on..
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.
Good-looking workhorse! Next I get over your way, maybe you can take me on a test ride up the hill? Well spend money, Mike is smiling down on you.
What’s that saying?
The only difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys.
Nice, useful and fun.
Nice……
