I WAS DOIN THE BEEPIN AND THEY WAS DOIN THE HONKIN

 OUR STREET AFTER A MORNING'S RAIN

Wind, rain, and 52F temps knocked out our morning walk so it was off to Goderich we went.  Slipped down around both the south and north sides of the harbor having a look at some construction going on.

 LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HEADING FOR SOME RAIN FIRST THING THIS MORNING

 YEP HERE COMES THE RAIN

 ROADSIDE CREEKS ARE OVERFLOWING

 WITH ALL THIS RAIN LATELY, IT'S A GOOD THING THIS FARMER KEEPS AN OLD FISHING BOAT IN HIS YARD JUST IN CASE

 HEY HOW MANY LEGS DOES A COW REALLY NEED

I had checked online a couple days ago to see if Walmart had any one-cup coffee makers in stock and it said they had one Black&Decker left.  Same as the one I have now.  So, after our harbor tour, we swung up the hill and headed for Walmart.  Well, wouldn't you know it, there was no Black&Decker one-cup coffee maker to be found.  I figure somebody walked into the store 5 minutes before I got there and grabbed that coffee maker right off the shelf.  Sound logic on my part I'd say.  Undaunted, I checked out the Canadian Tire Store next door but alas, I was foiled again.  Well, at least my current coffee maker isn't totally broke, it's half broke.  It makes half a cup of coffee and stops.  I then have to manually pour water over the coffee grounds until it dribbles out and tops up my cup.  I guess I can live with that until I'm able to track down another one-cup coffee maker somewhere, someday.

 CANADA GEESE ON THE HARBORS NORTH SIDE

 I WAS DOIN THE BEEPIN AND THEY WAS DOIN THE HONKIN

Seeing a guy coming out of Walmart this morning with shorts on I was glad I had on my lined winter pants.  There was ice in the cold rain in the form of hail.  Not a lot of hail but I could see a few pellets bouncing off the Jeep's engine hood when we were down around the harbor.

 LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION GOING ON WITH THIS BOAT PIER

THE TUGBOAT OCEAN A SIMARD LEAVES ITS DOCK HEADING FOR THE HARBOR ENTRANCE

IT COULD BE HEADING OUT INTO LAKE HURON TO MEET AN INCOMING FREIGHTER

Kelly's sister Becky flew up from Florida Friday so there might be a slim chance that Kelly can catch a break and maybe head on home soon.  It's a very uncertain situation there so we'll see what happens.

 A QUIET SUNDAY MORNING HARBOR

GROANER'S CORNER:((    Mary and Jane are old friends. They have both been married to their husbands for a long time; Mary is upset because she thinks her husband doesn't find her attractive anymore.  "As I get older he doesn't bother to look at me!" Mary cries.  "I'm so sorry for you, as I get older my husband says I get more beautiful every day." replies Jane.  "Yes, but your husband's an antique dealer!"
