I’m not much into shopping especially on a Sunday but if I get it done today I’ll have more time to play during the week. I still have to go one more time to Costco but at least that is all I’ll have to do that day and I had enough to do today already so Costco can wait.
Friendly feed store
So my first stop was the Friendly Feed Store to get some feed for the chickens. That’s pretty easy as they have guys to load the feed sacks in the car for ya.
Wally’s
Next was a place I didn’t really want to go but I needed to to get some new sheets and shoes if they had what I wanted and a few other things too.
Self Check out has improved
Yes, the place was real busy but it needed to be done. When I got to the checkout area it seemed everyone had a real full basket, about six of them in front of me, sooooooooooooo, after a bit I decided to try out the self checkout which I hadn’t done for a long time and was hoping for an improvement in the process compared to the last time and it was. One item wouldn’t scan so it popped up with help required and shortly a person showed up to scan the item and I continued. Much improved from the last time I used one, thank goodness.
Visiting Joe’s
Joe lives on the way home so I pulled into his place for a visit. There were some people already there visiting and we had a nice visit.
I stood up to get a picture of his garden when this flower pot caught my eye on his deck.
Joe’s garden
He has a huge garden which is starting to show it’s fall. Left side.
Garden right side. We walked out the path to have a look around and checked out his chickens too.
This was a pretty big pumpkin we walked by.
Not junk
Joe has a nice big pile of metal some might call junk, but it’s not as metal is worth a lot of money these days. Joe likes to build and construct stuff and a pile of metal like this is real handy for making stuff.
First a nap
We had a good visit then I drove on home. The car needed unloaded but a nap won out first.
In the evening I unloaded the car putting all the feed sacks in the chicken’s feed shed. That should last a couple months or so.
l didn’t enjoy the shopping or the busy traffic but I was happy to get that done and had a nice visit with Joe and his friends.
Understood that shopping isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but at least it’s done. It is even more of a challenge now with the Covid but glad it worked out better for you.
Nice to have a visit with Joe and his great looking garden.

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.
Understood that shopping isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but at least it’s done. It is even more of a challenge now with the Covid but glad it worked out better for you.
Nice to have a visit with Joe and his great looking garden.
