ATTEMPTS AT HUMOUR CAN SOMETIMES BE TRICKY

BEANS BEANS THE MUSICAL FLUTES THE MORE YOU EATS THE MORE YOU TOOTS

Not all my writing attempts at humour make it into the stratosphere and as often as not crash and burn on the launch pad.  My sometimes humour bits in my posts come from a creative mind occasionally freed enough from daily concerns and worries to step up and attempt to toss out a chuckle or two.  When you see me writing something silly and free know that my mind is laughing and temporarily treating me to a brief respite from my usual anxieties of the day.  A fleeting fun time for me but maybe not so much for my readers once and awhile.  Humour can be tricky.

A FEW UPDATE PICS FOR G AND C AND YOURS IS NEXT TO BE FRAMED.....TOOK THIS SATURDAY MORNING

Tiredness has been a problem of mine over this past little while and I was very aware of that this morning when Pheebs and I went for our usual morning Jeep ride.  We were again not gone long and it was hardly an hour before we were home again.  Feeling tired and sitting down in my living room recliner for a few minutes I dozed off and woke up 3 hours later.  I don't ever recall that happening to me before.  Occasionally dozing off for 10 or 15 minutes yes but falling asleep for hours at a time during the day, no.  Just thought it odd and especially so since I had a good night's sleep the night before.

OOOOOPS, LOOKS LIKE THE BLADES AND HUB FELL OFF THIS WIND TURBINE

Stepping out the door this afternoon was like stepping into a furnace so neither Kelly or I even attempted to go out.  We stuck close to our fans and A/C.  I was about to post this earlier when I happened to check our live radar feed and 'WOWSERS' we had a big storm front racing towards us and it was within minutes of crashing into the shoreline.  Grabbed my camera and on the way out the door Kelly said she would come along and maybe we could grab an ice cream cone in Bayfield.  We were about half way to Bayfield when the first large raindrops began snapping on the windshield.  Within 10 seconds I had the windshield wipers going full tilt and we could hardly see where we were going.  Saw sparks somewhere ahead off to the right where a branch must have brought some power lines down.  No point in trying to turn around so we creeped into Bayfield dodging a bunch of branches along the way.  Just as we turned onto Bayfield's main street the power went off in all the stores.  Made our way back to the highway and headed for home.  All homes and business's were in darkness.  Almost back we came across a downed tree across the road where we had just come through barely ten minutes before.  Had to back up and go around a short country block to access our Park.  And amazing enough power was still on when we got home.  Usually our Park's power goes off if someone sneezes too loudly.  Anyway it was a nice touch of excitement for us in these otherwise hot dull hum-drum dog days of summer.

MINUTES AFTER TAKING THESE TWO PHOTOS WE GOT CLOBBERED BY A WALL OF RAINWATER

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Wanda's dishwasher breaks down so she calls a repairman. Since she has to go to work the next day, she tells him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll send you a cheque." "Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike. He won't bother you.  But, whatever you do, do not, under any circumstances, talk to my parrot! I mean it. Don't talk to my parrot."  "When the repairman arrives at Wanda's house the following day, he discovers the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lies there on the carpet watching him go about his work. The parrot, however, drives him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman can't contain himself any longer and yells: "Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"To which the parrot replies: "Get him, Spike!"
