IT CERTAINLY IS AN UPHILL BATTLE

 THIS PLACE IS FOR SALE NEARBY, JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM OUR PARK....NOW IF I COULD JUST WIN A LOTTERY

I guess in a psychological way, my mind was trying to hurry the winter along today by telling me it was Wednesday, when in fact it was Tuesday.  But how did I know it was Tuesday?  Easy, I heard the garbage truck come rumbling down the road early this morning.  However, five minutes after the garbage truck was gone, my mind, ever looking after me as best it can, convinced me all over again that it was Wednesday.  I'm glad tomorrow is Saturday!! 

A CHUNK OF SNOW  HANGING AROUND ON THE BACK DECK

 IT'S A GOOD THING WE HAD AN EARLY JANUARY THAW OR THE SNOW LOAD ON THIS SHED ROOF WOULD HAVE BEEN TWICE AS DEEP

 A FEW PICS ALONG OLD BAYFIELD ROAD ON MY WAY BACK FROM BAYFIELD A COUPLE DAYS AGO

 ONE OF SEVERAL NICE HOMES ALONG THE WAY

 THESE FOLKS HAVE A LONG DRIVEWAY

It had been a few days since I last shoveled any snow.  Not wanting to seize up from inactivity, I grabbed my shovel and took it for a walk around outside, moving an accumulated couple of inches of the white stuff.  Back inside, I was again on the exercise bike, working at getting the cobwebs out of my legs.  It certainly is an uphill battle.

 iIT'S REALLY NEAT THAT I CAN READ MY KINDLE WHILE PEDALLING

INSTEAD OF HOLDING ONTO THE HANDLE BARS, I PREFER TO GRIP MY HANDS ON THE BARS ON EACH SIDE OF THE SEAT

THE SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB.....OKAY OKAY SO I WAS REALLY SHORT ON PHOTOS TODAY...SORRY

And it was 66 years ago today that the phrase, The Day The Music Died' was coined.  Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper died in a wintery corn field plane crash in the State of Iowa.

 A NICE HOUSE AND PROPERTY IN BAYFIELD

GROANER'S CORNER:(( In light of the rising frequency of human - grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears while in the field. They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper.

An explorer walked into a clearing and was surprised to see a pigmy standing beside a huge dead elephant. "Did you kill that?" he asked. The pigmy answered: "Yes". "How could a little bloke like you kill something as huge as that?" "I killed it with my club," replied the pigmy. "That's amazing," said the explorer. "How big's your club?" The pigmy replied: "There's about 150 of us."
