JEEP INTERIOR CLEANED UNDER CLOUDY RAIN SOAKED SKIES

CALM LAKE HURON WATERS AT GODERICH''S ROTARY COVE

I had forgot to include a photo in Wednesday night's post that went along with this sentence, 'Kelly's Mother got a brand spanking new fridge a few days ago and from the sounds of it they had a bit of a problem getting it in'.  Due to a set of handrails at the kitchen door it wouldn't go so had to be brought up a few steps and in through a living room patio door.

'HOUSTON, THE REFRIGERATOR HAS LANDED'

Checking our live radar site this morning I saw we were pretty much surrounded on all sides by rain.  Oh well luckily vehicles are designed and built to operate on rainy days so off we went with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand on the intermittent wiper switch. 

FINISHING UP SOME ROAD WORK ON PORTER'S HILL LINE

Amazingly enough I never had to use the wipers.  A short drive to Goderich and back with a few pics down around the harbor.

MUCH OF THE GRAVEL RECENTLY DUMPED ALONG THE SHORELINE HAS ALREADY BEEN DRAGGED INTO THE LAKE BY  WAVES

HOPE SHE'S NOT LOOKING FOR A DEAD FISH TO ROLL ON

ALWAYS NICE TO SEE THE COOL CLEAR WATERS OF LAKE HURON

PHEEBS AND STOP HERE AT THE DOG WALKING AREA ON AVERAGE TWICE A WEEK

LAKE WATERS ARE SO HIGH THIS FISHING AND TUGBOAT PIER IS NOW UNDER WATER

THESE GEESE ARE STANDING KNEE DEEP IN WATER ON TOP OF THE PIER

IF WATERS CONTINUE TO RISE THERE COULD BE SOME SERIOUS FLOODING

With cooler temps upon us I was lucky enough to finally find myself in a vehicle cleaning mode.  The Jeep's interior was the big job and I paid special attention to cleaning all the door jams etc.  A lot of southwest desert dust in those hard to get at places Probably spent well over and hour cleaning glass, vacuuming, and digging into hidden crevices for additional dirt.  Found enough sand and gravel from wet shoes and furry doggy paws to make a sizeable contribution to Bayfield's beach.  Enough muffin crumbs to bake a whole new tray of muffins and enough dog fur to stretch from here to the Moon and back.  Oh well, small price to pay for having my best Pal to hang out with every day:))))

Spent time today transferring more photo files from our desktop Lenovo computer to my external hard drive.  For me this is always a nail biter of a thing to do.  It's so easy to make a mistake with the result being lost photos.  I know because I have done it before but so far all seems to be going well with my double, triple and quadruple checking back and forth and back and forth.  Yet every time I delete a whole photo file it seems like I am playing Russian Roulette.  I certainly have re-gained a lot of Gigabytes on our computer's hard drive and instead of being in the red zone like before I am now back in the blue.  I think we got this Lenovo computer back in maybe August of 2011.  It's been the best trouble free computer we've ever had.  Bought it at Goderich's ContinuIT Computers.  A nice bunch of folks there.
