A BLAST FROM OUR BAYFIELD BUNCH PAST TAKES US BACK A DECADE AGO TODAY

BOONDCOCKED AT THE 'OVEN SITE' AT THE CLARK DRY LAKE BED EAST OF BORREGO SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, AND THOSE ARE THE SANTA ROSA MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND
The Gremlins weren't quite finished with me because when I opened up my laptop computer this morning, I was confronted with a Microsoft screen wanting a password, which in turn, required a passcode to verify.  #%&!!  Finally, peeling myself off the ceiling, I somehow managed to fumble my way through this latest fiasco using an extraordinary amount of patience and restraint, plus my dubious password book, along with my ever-exasperating iPhone.  I can assure you, it was no easy task for this challenged mind of mine.  However, emboldened by this morning's success, tomorrow I will attempt to tie my own shoes, change a light bulb, and plug a toaster in.  Wish me luck.......

 WE HAVE LOTS OF LITTLE JUNCOS IN OUR FRONT YARD AGAIN THIS WINTER
 AND, HALF A DOZEN SQUIRRELS TOO
With a cold biting wind driving the 26F wind chill temps down to +1we decided to stay in where it was toasty warm.  Not a lot to write about again today, so I've decided to add 'A Blast From Our Past'.  Just for fun, I decided to look back one decade ago to see where the Bayfield Bunch was and what they were doing.  As it turns out, we were at our Congress, Arizona house, it was a Thursday afternoon, and Kelly made an unusual for her.....travel decision.  This link will take you to that travel decision.  This Post Is Coming To You From Borrego Springs California

 A TRUE DESERT OASIS, BORREGO SPRINGS IS BEST KNOWN FOR ITS CHRISTMAS CIRCLE AND WE ALWAYS LOVED TO COME HERE AND SHUFFLE OUR FEET ON THE GREEN GRASS
 YUP, THAT'S OUR JEEP LIBERTY OVER THERE
 BORREGO SPRINGS LIES AT THE EASTERN FOOT OF THE SANTA ROSA MOUNTAINS
 OUR MORNING WALK ALONG THE SOUTHERN END OF COYOTE MOUNTAIN AT THE CLARK DRY LAKE BED
 IN THE VALLEY OF THE GREAT STONE SNAKE

AWE COME ON DAD, BREAKFAST CAN'T BE OVER ALREADY
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A police officer pulls over a driver and informs him that he has just won $5,000 in a safety competition, all because he is wearing his seat belt. What are you going to do with the prize money? the officer asks.  The man responds, I guess I'll go to driving school and get my driver's license.  His wife says, Officer, don't listen to him. He's a smart aleck when he's drunk. The guy in the back seat pops up out from under the blanket and says, I knew we wouldn't get far in this stolen car.  Just then a knock comes from the trunk, and a voice calls out, Are we over the border yet?

-----------------------------------

My wife had a few glasses of wine and was yelling at the TV: “Don’t go in there! Don’t go in the church! He’s in there, you moron!”
So I asked her if we could watch something other than our wedding video?

-----------------------------------

Before I die I am going to eat a whole bag of unpopped popcorn.  That should make the cremation a little more interesting.

-----------------------------------

- I just watched a documentary on marijuana...I think all documentaries should be watched this way

- Two little Morons were on their way to Disneyland and came to a fork in the road. The sign read: "Disneyland Left."  So they went home.

-What do you call a snail on a boat?  A Snailer!
-----------------------------------

A young lady came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, "Jeff proposed to me an hour ago."  "Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked. "Because he also told me he was an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a hell." Her mother replied, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

  2. Gosh, I sure hope my laptop doesn't ask me for a Microsoft pword...ever. I haven't a clue if/when/what I ever did to set that up... I almost...thank goodness almost...forgot to open the big garage door this morning before I backed out to leave for an appointment. AAARG! I need a bell in my head to remind me of things now and then. I love the Borrego Springs photos. I remember seeing them originally and marvelling at the emerald green grass and the magnificent palms. And of course, seeing Pheebs and Kelly photos.
