A MONTH FROM TODAY WILL BE APRIL FOOLS DAY

 SO NICE TO SEE A SUN SPLASH ON OUR LIVING ROOM FLOOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
With the thermometer sitting at -9F and a windchill factor of -19, Pheebs and I never ventured out of the house.  The Ontario Provincial Police have closed a number of area roads again due to poor visibility from blowing snow.  Not a nice weather day in the neighborhood at all!!  Instead of heading out, I busied myself in our spare room vacuuming and partially cleaning out an overcrowded cabinet in our bathroom.  Plus half a dozen other little things here and there so I used my inside time productively and that made for a better day.  And hey, just think....it's March 1st already and a month from today will be April Fools Day.  If at that time the weather cooperates, my big Spring Clean-Up might be well underway.  Definitely better days ahead and maybe I can even add a few more paragraphs to my posts once again.  Maybe even a few more photos too:))

Al's Music Box:(( Clap For The Wolfman is a song written by Burton Cummings, Bill Wallace, and Kurt Winter and performed by their band, the Guess Who. The song appeared on their 1974 album, Road Food. The song was ranked #84 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1974.   The song is a homage to Wolfman Jack, who is featured talking in his typical on-air DJ voice several times on the recording.  It reached #4 in Canada.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Three visitors to London climb up the tower that houses Big Ben and decide to have a contest. They're going to throw their watches off the top, run down the stairs and try to catch the watches before they hit the ground.  The first tourist throws his watch, takes three steps and hears his watch crash. The second throws his watch and takes only two steps when he hears his watch shatter.  The third tosses his watch off the tower, jogs down the stairs, goes to a candy store, buys a snack, walks back to Big Ben and catches his watch. "How did you do that?" asks one of his friends.  "My watch is 30 minutes slow."

During a dinner party, the hosts' two little children entered the dining room totally nude and walked slowly around the table.
The parents were so embarrassed that they pretended nothing was happening and kept the conversation going. The guests cooperated and also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening. After going all the way around the room, the children left, and there was a moment of silence at the table, during which one child was heard to say...."You see, it IS vanishing cream!"

PHEEBS AND I ARE ALWAYS SOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER

Sure isn't much to write about these days.  Pheebs and I went out for our usual morning car ride, took a few pics and came home.   At 1 p.m. I picked up my good buddy Richard at the Canadian Tire Store in Goderich where he had taken his van for an oil change.  There's a Tim Hortons coffee shop nearby so we grabbed a couple of coffees and carrot muffins and put in the next hour cruising a few back roads and shooting the breeze.  Richard is battling a few major health issues at the moment and I could tell this is a difficult time for him.  We arrived back at the CTC store just about the time they finished up with his van.  Richard headed for home and I slipped over to the ContinuIT Computer Shop store to see how they were making out with my Asus laptop.  They were still working on it so I said I'd be back maybe on Monday and headed off for home.  Pheebs and I are always soooooo happy to each other:))

Al's Music Box:)) Burning Bridges is a song written by Walter Scott, and best known for its 1960 recording by Jack Scott, which was a #3 hit in the US. This was the only hit song for composer Walter Scott, who was no relation to Jack Scott.   The song was originally recorded by a relatively obscure country act called The Home Towners in 1957, but did not chart. Recorded by Jack Scott in 1960, "Burning Bridges" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 5 on the U.S. R&B chart in1960.  The single was produced by Sonny Lester.  It was featured on his 1960 album What in the World's Come Over You. The single's B-side, "Oh, Little One", reached No. 34 on the U.S. pop chart.

 SPOTTED 'OLD LONESOME' THIS MORNING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( 
A Chinese Doctor can't find a job in a Hospital in the US, so he opens his own clinic and puts a sign outside...........'GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100.'

An American lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my sense of taste.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 22 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth.'
Lawyer: 'Ugh. this is kerosene.'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me $20.'
The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.'
Lawyer (annoyed): 'This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste.'
Chinese: 'Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me $20.'
The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.
Lawyer: 'My eyesight has become very weak I can't see at all.'
Chinese: 'Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100.'
Lawyer (staring at the note): 'But this is $20, not $100!!'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me $20'

- You fainted when you met Slim Whitman.
- You have lost at least one tooth opening a beer bottle.

- You won't stop at a rest area if you have an empty beer can in the car.
- Your dog can't watch you eat without gagging.
- You have a Hefty bag on the passenger side window of your car.
- You have a very special baseball cap, just for formal occasions.
