Spent my day at...

ALLACE LAKE, 

...and it was a nice day sunny but cool.  I enjoyed it, takes me about an hour to get there, an easy drive. to the town of Bennettsville, in Marlboro county.  It's not far from the NC line.   I was happy to see lots of ducks FOY for me,,,Coots, Buffleheads, and Ruddy Duck.  There must have been 1000 Coots...hard to photograph on the huge lake.  I brought a picnic with me, took a nice long walk there and got back home about 5 pm just in time to give the dogs their meal...

I had my own meal and now Im going thru my photos, didnt get many good ones but sure tried.  I hope the camera I returned gets refunded soon, because I am eager to try another one.  I need to track it, should have been delivered today according to the Tracking on Fed Ex.  As I have said before FedEx is my least favorite carrier to ship an item, but Walmart sent the label so I guess they have a contract with FedEx. 

I had a nice long chat this morning with my mailman, I chased him down as he went around the block delivering the mail I just missed him at my box...He is new to my route.  My old mail lady finally retired.  She had been my mail carrier for most of the time I've lived here  more than 40 yrs. 

He has a left had drive Jeep the same year as my sisters, a 2000.  He says he enjoys traveling and  his 6 yr old was asking him if they will ever have a vacation again, it must be hard to be 6 in this world today.

Heck it's hard to be 6 times that...Anyway he told me that 3 people in his family had Covid and all 3 had different symptoms and different durations.  Now the new strains are already in the population so we shall see...Anyways I like the new guy hope he is not a Republican! If he is, no more chats by the roadside.

Tomorrow it may rain so I will probably hang out at home and get some things done it's time to set up my bill pays for the month, and some chores inside need to be done, today I ran the dishwasher but I was too beat to empty it, so I will do that first thing tomorrow I normally run it once a week, and on light wash cycle.  My dishwasher is 32 yrs old...AND still works great when I redid the house it had a tiny leak at the spot where the pump attaches to the inlet hose, so I purchased a new connector and redid that connection and it has not leaked since.  "Knock on Wood." 

Have a good Sunday. Next week Ground HOG DAY.
