Mornings are warming up and must say we ended up with a beautifully gorgeous 75F day with a treasured breeze blowing to fan the warm air out and make the day pleasantly comfortable.

COULDN’T HELP BUT WONDER IF THAT WAS SOME KIND OF NEW PLOWING DEVICE BEHIND THAT TRACTOR

I’M THINKING THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF PLOWING OR DISKING DEVICE AS WELL

We had two vehicles on the road early today going to the same town but at different times.  Kelly rolled out first for the Goderich hospital with a scheduled stress test at 9.  She aced that test with no difficulties burning up the treadmill from 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds:))  With Pheebs staying home an hour and a half later saw me at the Maitland Valley Medical Center across the road from the hospital chatting with my Nurse Practitioner.  Prescriptions for the winter months were renewed and I came out of there with flying colors.  A few steps away is the Vampire Clinic where one occasionally drops in to to leave a bucket of blood or two and with two requisitions from two separate Doctors I left my share of blood there.  Following that I had my first EKG done.  And I say first because I have no recollections of anyone ever hooking up that many wires to me before.  Following that test it was into the Jeep and off to the Ministry of Transportation to pick up 3 license plate stickers for our Jeep, Pontiac Sunfire, and Motorhome.  ‘Poof’ there went $360 just like that.  On the way home I popped into A&W for a Teen Burger.  ‘Poof’ there went $3.50 just like that.

I think the best part of Smart Phones is that they give you something to do while sitting in waiting rooms.  I had enough wait time on my hands this morning to learn a little more about my phone plus take a few quick pics.  Groovy

AT THE VAMPIRE CLINIC……AREN’T WAITING ROOMS JUST THE MOST FUNNEST PLACES OF EVER:(((((

Back home and despite having things to do I just couldn’t seem to get my ‘to-do’ button working so it turned out to be a relaxing afternoon with a few short snoozes thrown in.  I don’t mind that every once in awhile.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  As a sergeant in a parachute regiment I took part in several night time exercises. Once, I was seated next to a Lieutenant fresh from Jump School.He was quiet sad looked a bit pale so I struck up a conversation. "Scared, Lieutenant?", I asked. He replied, "No, just a bit apprehensive." I asked, "What's the difference?" He replied, "That means I'm scared with a university education."
