UNTIL I 'GIT ER DONE'!!

DIDN'T TAKE ANY PHOTOS TODAY, BUT I HAVE A FEW FROM YESTERDAY....THIS IS GODERICH'S COASTLINE

Our seasonal change and transition from summer into Autumn is in full swing, with notably shorter days, cooler nighttime temperatures, and rainier days.  This seasonal change is welcome, but the change from Autumn to Winter is not, and that will likely begin in a month from now!!  It will then be time to slip on the long underwear and batten down the hatches for the long, rough five-month ride through winter's frigid cold and stormy days until early April.  Now, how's that for a positive start on a gloomy, cool, rainy Tuesday morning eh........

 MONDAY AFTERNOON AT BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER

I finished power washing the front deck and front yard patio stones yesterday, and today, between rain showers, I started on the back deck.  My electric power washer does an okay job, but probably not as good a job as a professional gas power washer.  I can get a lot of the mold off the wood, but I think a more powerful washer might get into the wood itself and really dig out dirt and grime.  Oh well, it are what it are and I will keep at this slow and tedious job until I git er done!!

 FRONT DECK IS DONE

 BECAUSE OF TODAY'S RAIN, I DIDN'T GET TOO FAR ON MY REAR DECK

GENTLE WAVES AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH THIS AFTERNOON

GROANERS CORNER:(( A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain. "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?" "Throw out an anchor, sir," the student replied. "What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?" "Throw out another anchor, sir." "And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then?" asked the captain. "Throw out another anchor, sir." "Hold on," said the captain. "Where are you getting all those anchors from?" "From the same place you're getting all your storms, sir."

"Doctor, my memory's gone. Gone! I can't remember my wife's name. Can't remember my children's names. Can't remember what kind of car I drive. Can't remember where I work. It was all I could do to find my way here." "Calm down. How long have you been like this?" "Like what?"

Mr. Dewey was briefing his client, who was about to testify in his own defense. "You must swear to tell the complete truth. Do you understand?" The client replied that he did. Then the lawyer asked, "Do you know what will happen if you don't tell the truth?" The client looked back and said, "I imagine that our side will win."

I STAYED A LONG TIME THERE

 SATURDAY NIGHTS RURAL SUNSET

With daylight becoming shorter with each passing day, I have to pay close attention to the earlier sunset time each evening.  I nearly missed Saturday night's sunset again.  Following my evening walk, I picked up my routine coffee to go in Clinton, and slowly made my way to Tower Hill Line for a star fix.  However, gathering clouds had moved in, blocking out much of the night sky.  No matter, with a mild southerly breeze, it was just nice to be standing out in the quiet stillness of the night.  I stayed a long time there.  Home again, I dozed off early.  Maybe it was all that tedious pressure washing on Saturday.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One Sunday morning, a priest wakes up and decides to go golfing. He calls his boss and says that he feels very sick, and won't be able to go to work. Way up in heaven, Saint Peter sees all this and asks God, Are you really going to let him get away with this? No, I guess not, says God. The priest drives about five to six hours away, so he doesn't bump into anyone he knows. The golf course is empty when he gets there. So he takes his first swing, drives the ball 495 yards away, and gets a hole in one. Saint Peter watches in disbelief and asks, Why did you let him do that? To this God says, Whos he going to tell?

A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."

A Mormon acquaintance once pushed Mark Twain into an argument on the issue of polygamy. After long and tedious expositions justifying the practice, the Mormon demanded that Twain cite any passage of scripture expressly forbidding polygamy. "Nothing easier," Twain replied. "No man can serve two masters."

a Chinese man walks into a bar in America late one night, and he sees Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor; get out of here." The astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese man gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship." Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese man replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the
same."
