SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO DO AS WELL

A FOGGY START TO THE DAY
Fog dominated the morning, and that was alright in my books because that meant the temperature was going up.  And, going up it did to 37F.  At this time of year, anything above freezing is a bonus.  Aside from driving into Bayfield for gas this morning and a swing down around the harbor, the day remained quiet.  I don't like letting my gas tank get below half, so this morning's fill-up at $1.16 a litre cost me $33.00.

 THE ICE ON THE BAYFIELD RIVER IS AGAIN BREAKING UP
 SOME NEW CONSTRUCTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RIVER, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
 AND, I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE ALONG BAYFIELD'S BEACH
 A CROW SITS ATOP LARGE CHUCKS OF ICE AND SNOW OFFSHORE NEAR A FEW PIECES OF DRIFTWOOD
With the snow melting, I really didn't have to shovel any, so with that thought in mind, I went out and shoveled some anyway.  I've only been cleaning off half of our rear deck this winter so this morning I figured I'd help the melt along and shoveled off the other half.  Cleared some slush off the pathways as well.

 OUR DRIVEWAY IS VERY ICY AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WALKING AROUND OUT THERE
 IT LOOKS LIKE THE CONCRETE DALMATION SITTING ALONGSIDE THE DRIVEWAY HAS A NEW SNOW BUDDY
I'm happy with my new Kindle Reader that I recently purchased, but I was disappointed that it didn't have a cover to protect the screen.  Then I remembered that my old Kindle, bought in 2014, didn't come with a cover either, and Kelly had to order the red cover separately.  So, that's what I had to do as well.  Found a cover on Amazon made by Fintie that I liked.  That leather cover arrived Tuesday afternoon, and I am pleased as punch with it.

 THIS IS MY COVERLESS NEW KINDLE PAPERWHITE
 AND THIS IS MY NEW COVER FOR IT
 THE SCREEN CAN NOW BE PROTECTED, AND I CAN HOLD IT LIKE A BOOK OR FOLD THE COVER AROUND BEHIND...ON THE LEFT SIDE IS A PANEL THAT PULLS OUT, ENABLING THE KINDLE TO BE SET UP ON A TABLE, AND THE NARROW LEATHER BAND IS AH AND STRAP
 COMPARING MY NEW KINDLE AND MY OLD KINDLE

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A man was driving down the road. He passed a traffic camera and saw it flash.  Astounded that he had been caught speeding when he was under the speed limit, he turned around and, going even slower, he passed by the camera.  Again, he saw it flash. He couldn't believe it! So he turned and, going at snail's pace, he passed the camera  AGAIN, he saw the camera flash. He guessed it must have a fault, and home he went.  Four weeks later he received 3 traffic fines in the mail, all for not wearing a seatbelt.

Q. Did you hear about the new sushi bar that caters exclusively to lawyers?
A. It's called, Sosumi.

An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a "Curse" he has been living with for the last 40 years.  The Wizard says "maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you."  The old man says without hesitation,"'I now pronounce you man and wife'".

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

- "OLD" IS WHEN - You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
- "OLD" IS WHEN - You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

-"OLD" IS WHEN - "Getting lucky" means finding your car in the parking lot.

- "OLD" IS WHEN - An "all-nighter" means not getting up to use the bathroom.
- "OLD" IS WHEN - You are not sure these are jokes.

A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?"
"Sixteen," the boy responded.  His cousin was amazed that he knew the answer so quickly. "How do you know that?" "Easy," the little boy said. "All you have to do is add it up, like the Preacher said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer."

  2. The new kindle screen looks bigger - or is that an illusion? It’s sure snazzy with that new case.

  3. Love the cover for your Kindle, it is very classy looking. By the way, years ago I picked up a couple of ski poles at the local thrift shop and always use one of them during the winter with the ice. Much better than a cane with their point ends. Take care.

  4. What a cool cover for the Kindle! And it's larger than your old one...nice. Your gas is nice and cheap. In town (Vernon) this morning, I saw PetroCan was 1.38.9 (ouch!) but Armstrong Co-op (my fav place) was 1.20.9. Why does PetroCan rip us off most of the time? Yup, careful walking on that ice. Maybe store one ski pole near outside stairs, or the garage. 3-point contact if better than 2. Especially at our age!
