'OUCH' 'OUCHY' 'OUCHERS' 'OH CRAP' AND #!!%&**!#%:((

KIND OF A LAZY LLAMA MORNING

Oh my, what a beautifully cool and sunny 66F humidity-free morning it was.  Big smiles on my part and it looks like this great weather is going to hang around for a while.  Can you spell R.E.L.I.E.F:))

 WHEN YOU SEE THE FENCING IN THIS PHOTO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ALL THE RETOUCHING I HAD TO DO TO ELIMINATE THOSE WIRES IN THE FIRST PHOTO

 THIS CROP MIGHT BE EITHER  CANOLA OR WILD MUSTARD OR MAYBE NEITHER

Just me in the Subaru earlier today heading to Goderich's Maitland Valley Medical Center. (Dynacare Lab)  Yesterday it was Kelly there for blood work and this morning it was me there for blood work.  It's part of my semi-annual diabetes check-up.  Currently, I am at the pre-diabetic stage which is much better than the Type 2 diabetes stage I was at three years ago.  I had to give up a whole lotta carrot muffins to get myself out of that Type 2 phase.  From the Dynacare Lab, I took a swing down around the harbor before heading home.  Snapped a few shoreline pics along the way.

 ALWAYS NICE TO SEE SENIORS OUT AND ABOUT ON THE BOARDWALK

AND IT'S A WIDE BOARDWALK TOO

 THIS AMERICAN CATAMARAN HAS BEEN ANCHORED OFFSHORE FOR A WHILE NOW 

 MAYBE HE'S WAITING FOR SOME WIND

 'HELLO IS THIS THE WIND STORE'??

 'WHADDYA MEAN YOU CAN'T DELIVER ANY WIND TO MY LOCATION!!'

Home again and feeling energized because of the marvelously cooler weather I hauled out the garden hose, a bucket of soapy water, and washed the Subaru.  While in Goderich I had picked up a couple leather seat covers at the Canadian Tire Store for Subie and with Kelly's help, we got them installed.  Why we didn't do that late last September when we bought the car I don't know.  Not only will these seat covers protect the nice Subaru seats but will go a long way in making it much easier to deal with doggy fur which always got stuck in the seat fabric.  I managed to get our grass cut this afternoon as well.  However, with all that twisting, turning, and bending, somewhere between the lawn mowing and seat cover installation I have aggravated my right hip to the point where my sole vocabulary at the moment is 'ouch' 'ouchy' 'ouchers' 'oh crap' and #!!%&**!#%:((

 THIS SHOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN

 PHEEBS FAVORITE SPOT IS READY TO GO

Al's Music Box:)) Tequila Sunrise by The Eagles from their live concert in Melbourne Australia in 2004.  The Eagles have just announced their final farewell tour entitled The Long Goodbye.  Original members Don Henley, Timothy B Schmit, and Joe Walsh along with Vince Gill and the late Glen Fry's son Decon Frey will make up the band.  Also, Steely Dan will be performing with the group as a special guest.  Click on The Long Goodbye link for concert dates and locations.  Kelly and I saw the Eagles perform in Toronto back in the mid-nineties.

 OH DEM DARN WIRES!!

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A woman said to her friend, “I don't know what to do. My husband is such a mess maker that you can't imagine. He doesn't put anything in its place, I am always going around the house organizing things.”  The friend says, “Take a tip from me. The first week after we were married I told my husband firmly, ‘Every glass and plate that you take, wash when you are done and put back in its place.'”  The first woman asked, “Did it help?”  Her friend said, “I don't know. I haven't seen him since.”

- I find the most unmotivated people live in Lackawanna, New York.

- There are two types of people in this world:  People who love chocolate and liars.

- Why did the chocolate chip cookie cry? Because his mom was a wafer too long!

- What did the M&M go to college?  Because he wanted to be a Smarty.

- Why is a Toblerone triangular?  So it fits in the box.

- A seven-year-old is sitting on a park bench eating a chocolate bar. The man sitting next to him looks over and says, “Eating that many chocolate bars are bad for you.”  The boy looks over and responds, “My great-grandfather lived to be 105.” The man replies, “And he ate that much chocolate?” “No,” says the boy. “But he knew how to mind his own business.”
