THAT WAS ABOUT IT FOR ANOTHER DAY

 

 LAKE HURON'S VIEW FROM BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK THIS MORNING

A lot of water fell out of the sky overnight and this morning.  Subie and I took a rainy drive into Bayfield and back.  An hour of sunshine had me outside in the 45F afternoon air doing some yard raking and thinking about a few upcoming Spring projects.  And that was about it for another day.....................

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One night a teenage girl brought her new boyfriend home to meet her parents, and they were appalled by his appearance: leather jacket, motorcycle boots, tattoos, and pierced nose.  Later, the parents pulled their daughter aside and confessed their concern. "Dear," said the mother diplomatically, "he doesn't seem very nice." "Oh please, Mom," replied the daughter, "if he wasn't nice, why would he be doing 500 hours of community service?"

Mrs. Jones was reading a letter at breakfast. Suddenly she looked up suspiciously at her husband. "Henry," she said, "I've just received a letter from mother saying she isn't accepting our invitation to come and stay, as we do not appear to want her. What does she mean by that? I told you to write and say that she was to come at her own convenience. You did write, didn't you?" "Yes, I did," said the husband. "But I couldn't spell 'convenience,' so I made it 'risk.'"

A fellow nurse at my hospital received a call from an anxious patient. "I'm diabetic and I'm afraid I've had too much sugar today." the caller said. "Are you light-headed?" my colleague asked. "No," the caller answered, "I'm a brunette."

One day, the Little Moron went to the doctor with both sides of his face burned. The doctor asked, "What happened?" The Little Moron said, "Well, I was ironing my shirts until the phone rang. I picked up the iron by mistake and half my face was burnt!" The doctor replied, "Well, how did you burn the other side of your face"? The Little Moron answered, "They called back."

I TOLD YOU SHE WOULD MAKE ME EAT GREEN STUFF!!

 TRAVELLING THROUGH A COLD LOOKING SWAMPY AREA THIS MORNING

With mid-morning temperatures finally above freezing again (34F) and knowing my Stirling Line walking road was open and free of icy snow, it didn't take me long to get Subie rolling and take my legs out for a walk.  With a stiff, icy westerly breeze blowing, the left side of my face froze up while walking in a northly along the road.  Turning around at my turning-around point and walking south back to the car, the left side of my face thawed out, and the right side of my face froze up.  Well, my face didn't really freeze of course, but it was darn cold.  Glad to get back to the car, but oh my, how wonderful it was to be back outside at my walking spot again.  The last time I was there was in November, four months ago. I happily walked along saying 'Hello' to all my old Pals.  The road, the bush, the clouds, the patches of blue sky, the fields on both sides of the road, an old barn along the way, the two ditches, and oh my, so many other things as well.  It won't be long, and the ditch flowers and various grasses will be growing, and I will be saying 'hello' to all of them too as they appear.  Doesn't take much to amuse an old 81-year-old grumpy Grouch sometimes, eh:))

 YAY, I AM FINALLY BACK ON MY WALKING ROAD AGAIN FOR ANOTHER SEASON

 MR RED FACE AND BLOWING HAIR SHOWS YOU HOW COLD I WAS FEELING

 HAD MY BOOTS ON THE ROAD AT 10:40 THIS MORNING.....CAN YOU SAY 'HAPPY CAMPER'

Some readers may wonder where I get all the jokes for my Groaner's Corner.  It's a 'Joke-of-the Day sight on the internet that I go to.  They generally have maybe eight or ten jokes each day that I pick through.  I know some of my jokes are repetitive, but I try to stretch that repetitiveness out for as long as I can.  Plus, out of the thousands of jokes I've published over these past twenty years, my memory falls way short of remembering what I put in the blog and what I didn't.  I do try to mix the jokes up a bit with the two longest ones at the beginning and end, with a handful of shorter jokes in between.  I also pick each joke carefully, making sure there are no off-color or political jokes.  I'm not here to rile up the masses.  Heavens knows there is enough of that going on in the world right now, without me adding to it.

I WILL BE GLAD WHEN THESE COLD GRAY WINTER DAYS ARE WELL BEHIND US 

A very sharp-eyed reader noticed something odd about a picture in Al's Art Gallery in my Wednesday post.  In the picture below, can you see what she noticed?  I will tell you what it is at the end of this post. (if I don't forget that is) 

What a nice thought it is to have in one's head to know tomorrow is the first day of Spring.  It has been a long, difficult Winter, but here we finally are, so let the better feelings hurry up and begin:))

 HEAVY TRAFFIC IN THE COUNTRYSIDE HAD ME SLOWING DOWN FROM MY CUSTOMARY 15MPH TO 5MPH

A FARM DOG COMES OUT OF A FARM LANE TO GIVE ME A GOOD BARKING AT

 ANOTHER ONCE FINE OLD BARN IN ITS FINAL YEARS AND MAYBE MONTHS

Oh, and about that Gnome photo.  Go back and look at the hands.  There is just one hand too many.  Thanks again to the eagle-eyed person down there south of the border in that there United of States:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A large, well-established Canadian lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good Lumberjack. The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe, and knocked on the head lumberjacks' door. The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave. "Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" said the lumberjack. "Take your axe and go cut it down." The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack's door. "I cut the tree down," said the man. The lumberjack couldn't believe his eyes and said, "Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?" "In the Sahara Forest," replied the puny man. "You mean the Sahara Desert," said the lumberjack. The little man laughed and answered back, "Sure, that's what they call it NOW!"

After a particularly poor game of golf, a popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?" "Yes," the golfer responded. "Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?" the cop asked. "Yes, I did. How did you know?" the golfer asked. "Well," said the policeman very seriously, "Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?" The golfer thought it over carefully and responded, "I think I'll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb."

---------------------------------

"Did God make you, Grandpa?" "Yes, God made me" the grandfather answered. A few minutes later, the little girl asked him, "Did God make me, too?" "Yes, He did," the older man replied. For a few minutes, the little girl seemed to be studying her grandpa, as well as her own reflection in the mirror, while her grandfather wondered what was running through her little mind. At last she spoke up. "You know, Grandpa," she said, "God sure is doing a lot better job, now, isn't he."
