MY LATEST 'SENIOR MOMENT'

 IRIS FLOWERS

With another rather chilly morning upon us, I was partially back into some of my winterwear.  A T-shirt, long sleeve shirt, and a jacket.  Pheebs and I had to crack on some serious heat in the Jeep so that we could put our front windows down and get some fresh air.  It was a short drive into Bayfield and back.  I was anxious to get home and get started on the motorhome clean-up before we sell it.  The last clean-up had been in late October of 2022.

 FARMERS ARE CONTINUING TO BE BUSY IN THEIR FIELDS

I probably spent four hours or more cleaning the rig.  Vacuumed the coach interior and then totally cleaned the cab.  After that out came a soapy bucket of water, brushes, sponges, and the garden hose.  I managed to wash the whole coach and clean the outside windows as well as the four wheels.  Cleaned all the bins along the way too.  In the morning I will concentrate my efforts on the cab's exterior.  That is if I can get myself mobile when I wake up.  All the up and down ladder trips today along with the bending and twisting have really flared my right hip up.  And, to add insult to injury, both my lower back and left leg are barking at me now too.  The Golden Years eh.....Baloney!!!! 

We have all had and continue to have our Senior Moments and Thursday morning in Exeter was my latest one.  I seem to be somewhat susceptible to food establishment drive-thrus for some reason.  Several times I have pulled up to the ordering box and on hearing the voice ask me what I would like to order, I sit there with not only a blank look on my face but a blank mind in my empty head too.  After I stutter out something unintelligible it's always a surprise when I get to the pick-up window to see what my order was interpreted as.  And that brings me to my next sometimes flubbabble drive-thru Senior moment situation.  I sometimes hand the person a twenty dollar bill for a coffee, they hand me my coffee, and away I merrily go along my way.  More than once I have had to double back for my change if and when I remember to do so that is.  Also at the pick-up window, it is not unusual for me to remember my change and then drive off without my coffee.  Thursday morning at the Exeter McDonalds drive-thru I pulled off a slightly new one.  I ordered my coffee okay and rolled up to the first window, gave them my money, received my change okay, then rolled ahead to the pick-up window and continued on right past it.  I was about to turn onto the street when I reached for my coffee but it wasn't there.  A quick check of my rearview mirror showed nobody behind me so I backed up and of course, went right past the pick-up window in reverse.  I could hear someone shouting, "over here"-"over here".  I looked around and saw a McDonald's lady outside frantically waving my coffee over her head. Embarrassingly driving ahead again I got my coffee and exited the facility with my face feeling about as red as the fast-moving firetruck I saw going by.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  There was a guy in high school that landed a date with the prettiest girl in class for the prom.  First, he went to pick out a suit and had to wait in a huge line.  Then he went and picked out flowers, and waited in a huge line.  Even when he called around for limos, he had to wait on hold lines.  Getting ready for after the prom, there was even a long line at the beer store.  Finally, the big night arrives and he takes his Gal to the prom. When they get there, he asks his date if she wants him to get her a drink and she says yes.  Much to his surprise.........there was no punch line:((

Three men were in a boat and had four cigarettes, but no lighter,

So they threw one cigarette overboard,
and the whole boat became a cigarette lighter.

I used to be a programmer for autocorrect
They fried me for no raisin

How do you tell the gender of an ant?
Throw it in water. If it sinks, it’s girl ant, but if it floats…

It's impossible for viruses to spread throughout an ant colony?
Because of all the little antey bodies.

What has two butts and kills people?
An assassin.

Why do Norwegian warships have a barcode on the side of them?
So that they can Scandinavian

I bought shoes from a drug dealer.
I don’t know what he laced them with, but I’ve been tripping all day.

What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo?  One weighs a ton, and the other is a little lighter.
