IT IS JUST THE SIMPLE REALITY OF THE SITUATION

 SPOTTED THIS FELLOW TODAY ON AN INTERESTING LOOKING WATERCRAFT
Nice to have our fine September mornings back again after this latest short spate of cloudy skies and rain.  Needed a few prescriptions filled so after our walk we headed on over to Goderich.  Watched a guy with a para-sail riding some kind of a water device along the shoreline of Lake Huron. (I looked it up and it's called a Sabfoil)  As it turns out, these photos were the only ones I took today.

 IN HIS LEFT HAND HE IS CARRYING A SABFOIL AND WITH HIS RIGHT HAND HE IS HANGING ON TO A PARA-SAIL
LOOKS LIKE HE IS ABOUT READY FOR TAKE-OFF
 AND THERE HE GOES

 'LOOK MA, ONE HAND'
 OOPS, SO MUCH FOR THE ONE HANDER
We were home before 11 and I later mowed some grass and got a few more outside things taken care of before late October's colder wet weather sets in next month.  In my world, it's important to get things done when I feel like doing them because if I wait too long they may not get done at all.  I wasn't always like that but I sure am like that now.

 HE'S UP AND AWAY AGAIN

 HANGING ON WITH BOTH HANDS THIS TIME
 OH-OH LOOKS LIKE HE IS HEADING FOR A FACE PLANT
KER-SPLASHO!!
 I THINK HE IS EYEING HIS OPTIONS
Pheebs and I again slipped out into the countryside for an evening walk.  I've pretty much given up on our afternoon walks ever since most of the Park's forest trails have been needlessly destroyed.  What a mess!!  

 OKAY, HERE WE GO AGAIN
 BACK TO THE ONE-HANDER CAPER
 'YA-HOOIE MA'

Of course the Canada/U.S. Border closure has again been pushed back another month to October 21rst.  With the record-breaking Covid numbers at the level they are now and no relief in sight in the U.S. I have pretty much given up any and all thoughts of heading to the American southwest this winter.  I am not being pessimistic or thinking negative, it is just the simple reality of the situation.  We'll be spending another gray winter in the windy cold days of ice and snow:((   

 I THINK THIS FELLOW MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CROSS BETWEEN BATMAN AND ZORRO
GROANER'S CORNER:((   Two old friends met for the first time in several years. They had a good talk and one asked, "Is your wife still as pretty as ever?"  "She sure is," the other replied. "It just takes her longer."

Then he is finished.

- What happens when you boil a funny bone?  it becomes a laughing stock.

- I got banned from a weight watchers group for dropping a bag of M&M's on the floor.  Best case of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!!

A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies. So, this was his first time approaching a field during his night flight. Instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?"  The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where?"

  1. You are among the lucky folks who have a warm home for the winter. Some of my friends are scrambling. One fellow is planning to haul his rig into a relatives barn and continue living there with the cows. Rentals are few and far between.

  2. That is one persistant guy! Get dunked and go back for more. Yeah, some things might not get done at all, or too late, the way I operate. But I've found sometimes I catch up, or whatever it is catches me up and has to be taken care of, even sometimes by having to hire someone to fix what I didn't get done when it should have been done.

  3. Bet the fellow doing the parasailing would love your photos.

    Personally I don't understand why the US border is closed to Canadians and their RV, while the southern border appears to be wide open for any and all. Off my soap box now and JMHO>
