I DID ALL THE WAITING IN THE CAR

Wished I could start my posts off with something more exciting and interesting than my usual blather about the daily weather.  Wouldn't it be exciting if I could start off my post with 'today we went bungee jumping and the bungee cord broke' or 'this morning after I woke up I slipped on a banana peel and fell down 17 flights of stairs' or 'today a rhinoceros chased us down the street and I tripped and fell just as the rhinoceros reached me'.  Oh well, until something exciting happens, folks, you will just have to put up with my little weather blurbs.  Or, better yet, just skip over them.  They are usually in the first paragraph of my posts.

 CLAN GREGOR SQUARE WAS PACKED WITH CORVETTS AND PEOPLE

It felt hot and humid to me this morning, so the only outside thing I managed to accomplish was to water my newly planted grass seed (yesterday) near the carport, and trim a few overgrown mulberry branches hanging over the road out front.  Subie was down to less than half a tank of gas, so on a short drive this morning I headed into the Bayfield Garage for gas.  I had kinda forgotten about Vettefest this weekend, so there was a lot of traffic and a lot of Chevy Corvettes in town.  Clan Gregor Square was packed with them, as were some of the backstreets.  Well over a hundred Corvettes, I'd guess.  After gassing up, I drove around the perimeter of Clan Gregor Square, taking a few 'drive-by' photos.  Not the best pics, but it's all I have for today.  Be sure to click on the above Vettefest link for better pics and what Vettefest is all about.  It's an annual event for Bayfield, and it seems to grow bigger each year.

This afternoon it was off to Goderich for Woodsy and I.  Food Basics, McD's for Al's coffee, and Tim Hortons for Lorraine's coffee, Giant Tiger, where Wiz bought me another pair of summer shorts and a couple of nice summer shirts.  Holy smokes, it's going to be a bit of a shock to my body not wearing something from the Goodwill store.  From Giant Tiger, it was down to the harbor, but there was so much traffic down there, we made a U-turn and headed back up out of the harbor to A&W for a double-buddy burger for me.  From A&W it was over to Zehr's supermarket and picked up a 300 hundred pound watermelon, and then it was off for home we went.  (Well hey, that melon sure felt heavy)  As usual, Woodsy did all the shopping, and I did all the waiting in the car.  No way was I going into any of those stores on a summer weekend with shoulder-to-shoulder tourists and weekenders, etc.  Lorraine is used to shopping by herself anyway, and that works out best for us. (Especially me)  I never went into the stores with Kelly either, unless we were on the road traveling, and then we both did the big Walmarts along the way together.  I always considered those Walmart stops my 'people fix'.  Walmartians everywhere and they did me in evertime:((

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The barber's client looked depressed, so the barber told him, "Cheer up. I knew a guy who owed $5,000 he couldn't pay. He drove his vehicle to the edge of a cliff, where he sat for over an hour. A group of concerned citizens heard about his problem and passed a hat around. Relieved, the man pulled back from the cliff's edge." "Incredible," said the client. "Who were these kind people?" "The passengers on the bus."

A fair-haired lady in a pet shop asks about buying a gold fish.  The salesperson ask if she needed an aquarium.  She replied, 'I don't care what sign it is.'

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer, who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket, went in to try out for the job. "Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?" "11" he replied. The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?" "Today and tomorrow." The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?" Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"
