I was setting up to do the spring water line crossings today.
Dozer maintenance
But first I had to grease and put some fuel in the dozer.
Once that was done I drove it up to where our water tanks are as that’s the first place I’m putting in a pipe crossing.
A little walk
Once I got the dozer up there I had to walk on back to get my Toyota with the tools in it to do the work.
So I had to walk back down through here for a little exercise.
Installing the pipe
I got a ditch dug and tried the pipe in it. No I didn’t move that dirt with the shovel but with the dozer.
I then covered up the steel pipe and smoothed things out a bit.
Enough for the day
By then it was after 5 so I decided to wait until tomorrow to install the plastic spring pipe in the steel pipe as there’s a bit of work involved.
I did check the tanks water level which is slowly increasing which is good.
Forgot about the power outage
I went on home and put a chicken I’d been thawing out into the pressure cooker and turned it on.
Only problem might be the electric might go off soon because of some high winds they might have which I’d forgotten about. Now a days the electric power company has been shutting the power off for high winds after they got sued for starting a big forest fire, by many home owners.
So far so good as it’s past their shut down time but who knows. If it goes off I’ll just have to deal with the chicken some other way.
Nice roll cage!! I was always afraid of turning our smallest over. I’d rather be on a big boy.

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.
