I decided to stay home again today and do some more work on my van. I needed to remount my cooler as the new shelving in back of it caused me to have to move the cooler forward more. I tried several ways until I settled on what I would call the best way, which is with two bungee cords holding it down.
Here’s the cooler in place and held down with bungee cords. I didn’t’ realize the door was so dirty. :O) I can now reach the water bottles to the right back of the cooler which is handier than opening the back doors to get to them.
An upgrade is needed
While working on that, I realized I really need a better fridge than this cooler. So, I’m looking into finding a unit that runs on propane, 110v, or 12volts, a three way.
The fact is my corn allergy means I need to carry a good supply of safe food if I want to travel around. I’m pretty sure I’ll get something as soon as I’ve researched it a bit.
Electrical project
After getting that done, I puttered around in the yard for a bit, then I went over to design and measure a new electrical hookup for my brothers main water pump on one of his garden plots. It’s our old family well and the current electrical wires are badly corroded so they need to be replaced. I made a list of what I need to get the job started so a shopping supply run is needed soon.
It got dark not too long after that and that was my day.
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.
