Chesley's Travels

Need to start posting more here and less in Facebook I'm thinking as I'm darn near using Face Book as a Diary

27 August

Went to Bubba's Chozen Frozens after mowing Dee's yard this afternoon for a wine. And talk with Bubba when he's not busy.

Leaving saw this paint job on the house that being remodeled on State street a block away. Just had to go take a picture. Loved it.

28 Aug

Well, that Dr Visit went well and fast. 2nd one in 2 days. All checked out goodly and on the list for a flu shot when available. Next appointment is in Feb '25. Ditto for Lake Charles.

A trip to the graveyard to get my mile walk in. Then home and chillin'.

29 Aug

Just had to break out the canon g16 on my desk and take this shot though the window > That needs cleaning < Sigh!!!!!!!

Playing with settings on 4 of my Canon Cameras. Think I have enuff? LOL.

Left to right is order of most used. Plus one more in it's bag on the shelf behind me have not used in years.

Sep 1

Did make it till 12:15AM before feet on the floor and warming up coffee and a trip outside to see the sky. Very cloudy!

The to the shop to check wine production. A set of bubbles ever 6 seconds.

The garage to check the ride for bugs, None. Did get the sd card out of the M50 camera in my ride and the G16 camera out of Wife's ride.

Now, sip coffee and see what's on the sd cards.

Going South on LA 13 yesterday did see quite a few sugarcane fields.

Well, you just know everything is beautiful when you get to the graveyard for your morning walk and a couple of birds are mating in the middle of the drive in the yard. LOL! Had to watch that till they had enuff. ha ha h a

Then a great and quick mile around the place. And wow on the getting rid of the ditch along the road by the woods.

Sept 1

Decided to try a shop with the M50 Canon though a amber sunglasses I had on the dash. Pretty Cool!

Sept 2

Well, weed eating and repairing the weed eater was on the menu this morning. Still have the back to do, and, perhaps, that will wait until after dentist appointment tomorrow at 10AM.

Later today, grass cutting for sure and mostly riding mower. LOL Might wait a day for the touchup.

For sure the chill mode today and no wine till tomorrow afternoon, Yikes.

Did have a lady ask if I made apple wine. Been a few years so that's gonna be the next wine mission for sure.

The grape doing well and still bubbling.

Both yards cut. Yes! Still have a bit of trimming to do in my yard but that's tomorrow.

Sept 3

The visit with Dr Joubert my dentist when fast and easy. Was surprise.

Home and back yard is weed eated.

Sept 4

A picture of the freezer in the Shop. Don't think I'm gonna run out of wine making stuff soon. But did get a request from a dear friend working at Loggerheads Bar for some Apple Wine. Really thinking of just doing it with apple juice. We'll see.

Sept 6

Wow! 3:05A get up finally this morning. Hearing the rain from my bed being as the window about 1 foot away.

So warming up yesterday's left over coffee and a trip outside to get my umbrella out of my ride.

A quick look about the garage and all good.

A trip to the shop for a check on stuff there. Yes, new batch of wine bubbling at a set about every 2 seconds. Gonna interesting to see how that comes out as my 1st time with apple juice in the condensed state I guess as not the clear one. But, we're another 3 or so weeks before having an idea of how it's gonna turn out.

Rain gauge had about 3 inches in it from the last 3 days so emptied it.

Only plan this morning is hunt for the rest of my umbrella's. LOL. Had about 4 of them about. Need to find and gather and in one place. Hmmmmmmmm. Thought I'd done that before. ha ha ha ha . So onwards with this fine and wet day. And see what the Winds of Maw Nature bring our way and smile for sure.

Pictures from yesterday done with phone. Say What?

Stated of Apple wine mix just after mixing all ingredients.

View up river at Loggerheads Bar yesterday afternoon while raining. TV's were out so we went an watched the river.

Sept 8

Hy ya Sunday!!!!!!

Coffee brewing and a trip to the shop to check on wine and it's bubbling at a set every 3 secs so good. Bubble on Apple juice wine!

Go into the Garage and get an sd card out of camera for pictures taken yesterday while roaming.

Sept 11

T'was HI YA world at 3AM this morning! Outside to check the sky while coffee heating. Clouds headed west but my flag just hanging there so not a lot of wind. Course house would be blocking lots of wind in that direction.

Quick check on where storm is and hopefully going. So far, predictions still say Houma area landfall.

Sept 13

So what's with Friday? Need to put my addon's to the extension between the garage and shop's front cover. Hold the additions in place with vice grips and drill pilot holes for screws. Be neat to go from garage to overhang and not get wet with water coming off the garage.

Sept 15

Roaming this morning and saw this set up just starting so brought wife and sis in law by to show it to them awhile ago. Wow! Then the lady flagged me down as saw i had my camera busy. Said give them another week to finish and come by " Heck, I'm coming by every day. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
