CHASING DOWN AUTUMN COLORS ON A MAINLY CLOUDY MORNING

NORTH OF GODERICH ON THE MAITLAND TRAIL

Our overnight rains left us with a mainly cloudy morning and it wasn't until Pheebs and I were back from our morning Jeep ride around eleven that skies finally cleared.  Autumn leaves really need sunlight to highlight their colors and aside from a few brief sun splashes I missed some nice shots this morning.  But cloud or no cloud I took a few photos anyway. 

THE TOWN OF GODERICH IS ON THE HORIZON WITH THE MENESETUNG BRIDGE TOP RIGHT

AND TO THINK BIG STEAM LOCOMOTIVES ONCE RAN THROUGH HERE YEARS AGO

Our travels earlier today took us up to Goderich with a swing down around the harbor then north of Goderich to the Maitland Trail in the area of Tiger Dunlop's tomb.  A swing by the Goderich airport nearby showed a couple planes on the ground.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SHORELINE HAS ERODED RIGHT INTO THE PATH LEADING TO THE DOG WALKING AREA 

ENJOYING A LATE OCTOBER MORNING BY THE LAKE

TWO LARGE FREIGHTERS AT THE SALT MINE THIS MORNING

IT APPEARS LAKE WATERS HAVE DROPPED AGAIN

Home again I tackled a Jeep clean-up.  Vacuumed and washed it.  Those wet gravely roads can make such a mess of things and now that I have cleaned it up we can be guaranteed rain again tomorrow.

PASSED SOME NICELY LANDSCAPED HOMES TODAY

THIS IS A RAILS TO TRAILS  PROJECT AND TO THINK BIG STEAM LOCOMOTIVES USED TO RUN THROUGH HERE

For supper Monday night I fixed myself up a mighty fine banana and apple shake complete with a dash of cinnamon, a few squirts of orange juice, a dollop of coconut yogurt and skim milk.  I like stuff like that.  For lunch today I boiled me up a chicken TV dinner and for supper I'll probably have a big bowl of Harvest Crunch with a few slices of banana.  Yep, getting along real fine here.

AND HOLY KA-SMOLLEY CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE IS ACTUALLY SOME ACTION AT THE TIM HORTONS COFFEE SHOP SITE AGAIN...WILL WONDERS EVER CEASE

THEY ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING THE ROOF ON

My numerous trips to the washroom are easing up a bit and I am cautiously optimistic this may not be a permanent thing.  I may find more things out in November when I have a meeting with both my Urologist and Oncologist.  At this point I have no idea if my radiation treatments worked or not.  

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A man and a beautiful woman were having dinner in a fine restaurant. Their waitress, taking another order at a table a few paces away suddenly noticed that the man was slowing sliding down his chair and under the table, but the woman acted unconcerned. The waitress watched as the man slid all the way down his chair and out of sight under the table. Still, the woman dining across from him appeared calm and unruffled, apparently unaware that her dining companion had disappeared.  After the waitress finished taking the order, she came over to the table and said to the woman, "Pardon me, ma'am, but I think your husband just slid under the table." The woman calmly looked up at her and replied firmly, "No he didn't. My husband just walked in the door."
