LEST MUGGERS WERE TO ROB ME AND STEAL MY COUPON!!

 ONE OF THREE FROGS RESIDING IN  THE FRONT YARD FROG POND THIS SUMMER

It was a sultry Saturday evening, and so much so, that I had to apply some heat through my defrost to keep the windshield clear while I made my way around a few country roads after my evening walk.  This has been happening with frequency lately in this hot and humid weather.  It's the oddest thing that I have never experienced before.  It forms on the outside of the windshield, has a silver sheen, and looks like ice.

With an A&W breakfast coupon in my pocket, I was anxious to use it up lest muggers were to rob me and steal my coupon!!  So, after my morning walk, it was off straightaway that I headed lickety split to Goderich to partake myself in a mess of bacon and eggs, toast, coffee, and a hash brown. Twas quite the enjoyable time I had tucked away in a far corner, adding a few new stains to my clean shirt.  Of course, in my world, it is only clean shirts that are susceptible to the droppings of food.

From A&W, it was down to the harbor and out to the cove.  Two large ships in port this morning.  The Algoma Compass taking on a load of salt, and the Harvest Spirit, a couple of hundred yards away, taking on a load of grain.  Took a spin out to Rotary Cove, snapped a few pics, and then it was up out of the harbor I went, heading through town to Goderich's east end for a stop at Walmart.  I was dangerously low on peanut butter, and the kitchen cupboard's alarm bell had been sounding since yesterday.  

LOADING GRAIN THIS MORNING WAS THE HARVEST SPIRIT

IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE CREW MEMBER MONITORING THE LOAD OF GRAIN INTO THE HOLD OF THE SHIP, CHECK THE PHOTO BELOW

 OH MY, THE ADVANTAGES OF A TELEPHOTO LENS

 TAKING ON A LOAD OF SALT IS THE ALGOMA COMPASS

 SPOTTED THIS NEAT-O TRUCK OUT AT ROTARY COVE

 IT'S A MERCURY BUT I DON'T KNOW THE YEAR....IF MY GOOD BUDDY RICHARD WERE STILL WITH US, HE WOULD KNOW

 THE CALM WATERS OF LAKE HURON AND LONG-TIME READERS MAY REMEMBER ME BLOGGING ABOUT THAT BIG MARBLED COLORED BOULDER IN THE LEFT FOREGROUND.....I WAS SO CONCERNED THAT WORKERS WERE GOING TO BURY IT WHEN THIS SHORELINE RESTORATION WORK WAS TAKING PLACE A FEW YEARS AGO....PHEEBS AND I WOULD ALWAYS SAY, 'HELLO, MR. ROCK' AS WE PASSED BY

PEOPLE ENJOYING THE BEACH THIS MORNING

 A NICE PATCH OF FLOWERS ON THE WAY OUT TO ROTARY COVE

Home again, and despite having a good night's sleep, I felt like I'd been up all night working in a coal mine.  I headed for the sunroom, tipped myself back in my recliner, and crossed my fingers in hopes of catching myself some zzzzzzzzz's. Well, so much for crossing my fingers and all that stuff.  Hardly seems to ever work anyway, but actually, I did manage to get about an hour, and it indeed was a big help.

FROGGY NUMBER 2

So, the Subaru is going into the Bayfield Garage tomorrow for what I suspect might be brake work.  With a possible chance of rain in the morning, I am going to drop it off at the garage tonight and ride my E-bike back home.

 FROGGY NUMBER 3

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face." "Yes, sir," the boys said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "'It's because yer feet ain't empty."

"Yesterday, scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.
 To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, couldn't drive, and refused to apologize when wrong.

A teacher says, “Okay, class. Today we’re going to be talking about the tenses. If I say ‘I’m beautiful,’ which tense is it?” Little Johnny raises his hand and says, “Obviously past tense, Miss.”

Three older ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, in front of the refrigerator, and I can't remember whether I was taking it out or putting it away."
The second lady said, "Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs, and I can't remember whether I was on my up, or on my way down." The third lady chimed in, "Well, I'm glad I don't have those problems. Knock on wood." With that, she rapped her knuckles on the table, then said, "That must be the door. I'll get it."

SO, IT'S LOOKING LIKE ANOTHER SHORT POST

On this cloudy, lower-temp morning (72F) after my walk, I headed home, hauled out the mower and cut the backyard grass, raked out another area, and planted more grass seed.  Couldn't seem to get myself into photo mode today, and writing didn't seem to interest me either, so it's looking like another short post................

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One day, there was a catastrophic event that caused all humans on Earth to die. To sort things out, everyone went to Heaven. God came in and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who ruled their women on Earth and the other line for the men who were ruled by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St. Peter." With that, the next time God looked, the women were gone and there were two lines. The line of men who were ruled by their women was 1000 miles long, and in the line of men who ruled their women, there was only one man. God became angry and said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons who stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them, my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?" The man replied, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."

Q: What goes vroom, screech, vroom, screech, vroom, screech?

Q: Did you hear about the Moron couple that were found frozen in their car at a drive-in movie theater?

A: They went to see "Closed for the Winter".

Q: A Little Moron is walking down the street with a pig under his arm. He passes a person who asks, "Where did you get that?"

A couple, desperate to conceive a child, went to their priest and asked him to pray for them. "I'm going on a sabbatical to Rome," he replied, "and while I'm there, I'll light a candle for you." When the priest returned three years later, he went to the couple's house and found the wife pregnant, busily attending to two sets of twins. Elated, the priest asked her where her husband was so that he could congratulate him. "He's gone to Rome, to blow that damn candle out" came the harried reply.
