A VERY COOL AND WINDY GRAY DAY BUT MANAGED A FEW PHOTOS ALONG THE WAY

DSC_2604

With a short sleeve summer shirt on I stepped out the door this morning, wheeled around and marched myself back to my bedroom where I exchanged that short sleeve shirt for one of my long sleeve wintery shirts.  And I threw a light jacket over that.  We were in the low 60’s with a northerly wind blowing creating a wind chill factor so we had to throw a touch of heat on in the Jeep.  A bit of rain on the windshield on our way to Goderich and a wee bit of Lake Huron on the front of my camera lens later while taking a few photos around Goderich’s harbor and beach area.   Nothing serious.  Pheebs and I were back home again by 10:30 and that was about it for us guys.   My mood was about as gray as the day but with sunshine forecast for Tuesday I’m looking forward to a brighter morning.   I’ll leave you tonight with a few photos……………………..

GROANER’S CORNER:(( Two golden-agers were discussing their husbands over tea. "I do wish that my Elmer would stop biting his nails. He makes me terribly nervous." My Billy used to do the same things," the older woman replied, "but I broke him of that pesky habit."  "How?"   "I hid his teeth!"

A Canadian psychologist is selling a video that teaches you how to test your dog’s IQ.
Here’s how it works: If you spend $12.99 for the video, your dog is smarter than you.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Boo.

Boo who?

Well you don’t need to cry about it.

  2. Very interesting propeller picture,, there are numerous types of propellers this one is called a CPP. Or ( controlled pitch propeller)
    If you've ever wondered what moves this type of freighter or a large ship sometimes they use this type of propeller
    Hope you enjoy

    1. Thanks Mr Ed. The link did not work for me, but I got to the site and enjoyed learning about the props. I saw the great pic Al took and just thought, wow they have easy replace blades. Should have known it would be far more complex than that. Fun site to explore.
