Looks like it’s the day the power company tree trimmers are working in our area.
Two crews were working near my place that I could see from one of my chairs, so I watched them for awhile.
This guy was the closest to me. He’s cutting out a big pepperwood tree that is too close to the lines.
And I could also see this guy on the other side of my house cutting this big dead tree down in pieces.
This guy was taking the tree down in sections and sliding them down the rope to the ground.
The other guy was getting his tree down. He’s using some kind of hydraulic chainsaw on an extension.
This guy is almost done cutting this one down.
And the guy with the hydraulic saw is really making a lot of saw dust. His crew was cheering every time a big one of these hit the ground. This crew was really excited about their work, more so then the other crew.
I used skiddy to pull this apricot tree out of the ground while I watched the tree guys.
Blackberry vines
I got my hand trimmers and worked on getting the vines out of the way of this gate so I could go through it. I worked about an hour on it.
I worked until I could get through the gate and that was enough to tire me out on that.
Ride in the forest
By now, I was getting tired of hearing the tree trimmer guys chainsaws, so I hopped on the dirt bike and rode on up into the hills for some piece and quiet.
Dirty pond
I stopped by the pond. It’s all dirty for some reason, likely because some birds or an animal was taking a bath.
I made it up to our break area and I sat and enjoyed myself for a bit.
Pipeline
I stopped to check out this water pipeline as it’s not flowing very well. Likely because it has very little fall. I may have to reroute it some time.
I stayed up in the hills until it was late enough for the saw guys to go home then went on home.
HA – a Hydraulic Chainsaw ??? You need a new toy ;)
I have not heard of them, but dang I can get a nice one on Amazon!

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.
