Rode up into the hills to visit my cousin. I stopped here at the Guerneville overlook on the way to her place.
That’s the town of Guerneville down in the trees and it’s about two miles from my house.
Visiting
From there I rode on over to my cousin’s place. We sat down on her poach and had a nice visit for a couple of hours.
From there I rode around the hills stopping here and there to throw rocks and sticks off the road.
I stopped here to throw that dead tree off the road.
It was a nice day to ride around and I rode out this trail.
And on up this trail.
Walked around
To this ridge top on my cousin’s place. I walked around the ridge top in this spot. It’s too dry right now for wild mushrooms, but it looked like a good spot for them.
I stopped on this part of the trail to clean rocks and sticks off the trail so it’s easier to get by now.
On the way home I went by our water tanks and checked the ribbon water gauge. The tanks were full of water, just right.
Back home I puttered around the yard moving some mulch to my mulberry tree and I did some chair hopping around the yard.
Rats
I’d planned to renew the rat bait that doesn’t work but I didn’t get to it. Once they are eating the bait again, I plan to spike the bait with some store bought stuff to see if that does them in. They ate all the bait while I was away on my trip and I don’t think it killed any of them. Time to get started on that again as I hear them up in my house’s attic.
Have you ever thought about getting those mouse/rat traps that is a lid you put on a bucket then bait it with peanut better, they fall thru into the bucket of water and drown? They are about $13 on Amazon I think. called mouse trap bucket. I use them in Oregon and have caught rats and mice in them.

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.
