WE HAVE BUSY LITTLE BIRDS IN OUR FRONT YARD GARDENS (I may have posted this pic before but can't remember)
Turned out to be a busy Monday as I filled in for a driver this morning & used the company's mini-van to move a fellow from one town to another for a short medical appointment. This afternoon I was back in the mobility van & off to London with a young disabled fellow & his Mother on board.
PARKED AT LONDON ONTARIO'S WELL KNOWN & RESPECTED UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL LAST WEEK
We were almost at our destination when the sky's opened up & we got hit with a short & savage rain storm with beating hail & nearly zero visibility. Sounded like the hailstones were coming right through the windshield. Fortunately the heavy deluge of ice & rain only lasted about 10 minutes but it was enough to spawn immediate flood warnings on the local radio station & it was amazing how much water was cascading down the streets.
HAIL ON THE GROUND BESIDE A HOUSE & SHREDDED LEAVES ON CAR OUT FRONT
Someone asked again what camera equipment I use & because I didn't get on it right away I have forgotten who it was so I'll include a link to a post I had done about that on September 19th of 2008 just in case that same person happens to be reading this tonight. Just read the camera part & disregard all my other blusterings that day in long ago September. The country was in full blown financial meltdown at the time & so was AL's attitude.......again:(( Click on..... NIKON CAMERAS
COUPLE OF NIKONS & A CANON.....NIKON D50 ON THE LEFT WITH THE D40 ON THE RIGHT & CANON BOTTOM RIGHT (Am hoping to trade that longer 55-200mm zoom lens in for a 70-300mm zoomer shortly) Photo was 'colored popped & sharpened' in Live Writer:))
Whenever I see we have a new follower I generally click on their profile to see who they are & if they happen to have a blog site. That is how I have come across other folks interesting RV blogs & have sometimes included their links in my posts. In the last little while I have generally liked to try & give new bloggers or new followers a bit of a jump start by including a point of interest from their post into my blog. Latest follower Terry K's profile shows most of his categories as 'classified' so I am not too sure what that is all about. My experience has been that most folks are very free, honest, & open, with their RV lifestyle & blog sites, etc. So, TK if you are a legitimate follower, I say welcome. If not................??
WAITING PATIENTLY FOR A HUMMINGBIRD TO SLOW DOWN!!
My external hard drive seems to be acting up tonight again & is not letting me access my file photos. I have a lot of photos stored on there.......or did!!
HAVING A LOOK AT ANOTHER JEEP.....2005
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Hunting flies" He responded. "Oh, killing any?" She asked. "Yep, 3 males, 2 females," he replied. Intrigued, she asked "How can you tell?" He responded "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone."

The only thing better than right now will someday be the memories of right now...... AL.
I like the red one better than the yellow one anyway! They don't get much for gas mileage, but they sure are fun to drive.
ReplyDeleteAnd wouldn't that be a blast at the Ranch next year? You are going back to the Ranch aren't you?
The red Jeep is the prettiest picture on the blog tonight! Actually all the pictures are nice, but I'm partial to red Jeeps.
ReplyDeleteAl, Donna had a black cherokee 2 dr, I know they stopped making them, but for her it was her absolute best vehicle, a straight six, standard trans, 4 wheel drive, she really loved and wore out that car. Plus it could be towed wheels down if you wanted. She now has an Escape and will tell you it isn't half the car the jeep was. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
ReplyDeleteDon't know that I'll be able to get in contact with Mike and Pat (I, too, follow their blog). The beginning of this journey is on my sister's "vacation" speed mode. They only have a few weeks, so I will accomodate their schedule to enjoy the company on the road. :)
ReplyDeleteIs that a spotting scope you are using to wait for the hummingbird?
That's a great looking red Jeep for sure. I can see you driving around the desert in that! Hope your external HD recovers from it's rest and is o.k.
ReplyDeleteAl -- what kind of photography equipment do you have? (Only kidding, guy, only kidding?)
ReplyDeleteHailstorms aren't so much fun, are they? Up in Butte, MT, I picked up a business visitor at the airport. As we drove to town, we had a major hailstorm, with huge hailstones hitting everywhere. The idiot made me stop the car so he could go around and open the trunk, dig out his camera and take a picture! I admire his desire to take the picture to show the folks back home, but to step out of the car to get the camera?
See you again in about a week!
Ohh Jeeps are fun! But remember, bright red attracts cops for tickets, especially speeders! So slow down if you get it!
ReplyDelete(I think that tale is more for pretty blondes in RED convertibles) LOL
