PHEEBS AND I WILL BE ON STANDBY

'Holy gee-wilikers,' we had sunshine on the eastern horizon for the second day in a row.  It only lasted until about noon but at least we had us a mighty fine sunny morning.  Pheebs and I weren't long in getting out the door and heading off for destinations unknown.

 SO NICE TO SEE BIG BLUE SKIES EARLIER TODAY

As it turned out we made our way toward Clinton then turned off on the Bannockburn Line.  The Bannockburn Conservation is down that way but the parking lot was all snowed in so we slowly rolled on by snapping a few pics along the way.

A SNOWMOBILE TRAIL HEADS OFF INTO THE FOREST

Home again around 10:30 I puttered around outside doing half a dozen nothings.  Moved some more melting snow around just because I could I guess.  I double-checked the Subaru to see if it had a radiator and it does.  A comment in our comment section threw me for a loop when it said the Subaru had an air-cooled engine.  I think that is more of a Volkswagen thing on some models maybe.  All the VW Beetles I drove years ago for sure had air-cooled engines.

 CREEKS ARE WAKING UP

 NICE TO SEE SNOW MELTING OFF THE CEDAR AND PINE BOUGHS

Kelly had a 1:30 appointment at the Dynacare Blood lab in Goderich today but wasn't feeling well enough to drive there so it was Pheebs and I to the rescue.  We drove Miss Kelly to the lab and back.  Friday she has an appointment with her Nurse Practitioner in Goderich so Pheebs and I will be on standby in case she needs another ride.  

 THIS IS THE LARGEST SNOWDRIFT I HAVE COME ACROSS SO FAR SINCE THE STORM

 THIS MACHINE WAS MOVING SNOW FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE OTHER

 OOOOOO THAT FEELS SO GOOD

Not much else going on for the rest of the day and despite the cloud cover, it was nice to see snow melting for the second day in a row.  Rain is predicted Friday and that's okay.  It sure beats last week at this time when we had that big nasty winter storm bearing down on us.

 JUST GOTTA LOVE THAT BIG BLUE SKY:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((  The devil meets a newcomer at the gate and says, "Alright, you have died and come to hell. You will spend eternity here, but you get to choose how to spend it. You may choose one of these three doorways. Once you choose a door, you may not change it. So let's get started."  The devil opens Door One. The guy looks in and sees a couple of people standing on their heads on a Concrete floor. The guy says, "No way, let's move on."  The devil opens Door Two. The guy sees a few more people standing on their heads on a Wood floor. The guy says, "No way, let's move on."  The devil opens Door Three. The guy sees a bunch of people standing knee-deep in cow manure drinking coffee. The guy says, "Great, this is the one I will choose." The devil says, "OK, wait right here, I will get you some coffee."  The guy settles in with his coffee thinking that this isn't so bad. What's the big deal?  After about 10 minutes a voice comes over the loudspeaker saying, "Coffee break's over. Back on your heads!"
