BUT OH MY, THE WOBBLES ALONG THE WAY

THE EASTERN EDGE OF BAYFIELD'S HARBOR TAKEN FROM THE BAYFIELD BRIDGE THIS AFTERNOON
I missed a nice sunset Saturday night, but I did make it out later to my night sky spot.  With this warmer weather upon us at the moment, how nice to step out of the car and feel the night breeze with a nice touch of warmth to it.  Saw two satellites and one aircraft with a single blinking white light.

 HEADING OUT TO MY NIGHT SKY SPOT I SAW FARMERS IN THEIR FIELDS BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL
 HOW NICE TO FEEL A WARM BREEZE AT MY SPOT
Woodsy rolled in late this morning, and it wasn't long before we had the E-bikes out, dusted off and ready to go.  The last time we were out on the bikes was April Fool's Day, when for the time of year, we had an unusually mild sunny day.  Our E-bike travels this sunny and warm afternoon, took us into Bayfield.  And, it seems, it brought a lot of other people to Bayfield as well.  It was a busy place with a throng of people on the south pier cheering on the annual Rubber Ducky race in the Bayfield River.  We rode our bikes out onto the pier where I was able to snap a few pics of the event.  From the beach and pier area we rode back up and into Bayfield.  People, people, everywhere with the feeling of a festive mood in the air.  It was Bayfield at its finest and going full tilt.  Luckily, we had the bikes, so stopping and parking anywhere wasn't a problem for us.  Woodsy browsed a few stores while I stayed with the bikes.  Perfect, because browsing and shopping are definitely not one of my favorite things.  We were back home shortly after 2 p.m. and by golly, neither one of us fell off our bikes even once.  But, oh my, the wobbles along the way.  But, for the first bigger ride of the season, we did okay.  I have to say, though, that people going by on their electric three wheelers did catch my eye.  No balance wobbles for those folks.  And those three-wheelers have carriers on the back big enough to bring home a couple of cases of peanut butter.

E-BIKING OUR WAY TO BAYFIELD (APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES BETWEEN OUR PARK AND DOWNTOWN BAYFIELD)
 THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER TODAY, AND I WAS WORRIED WITH EVERYONE ON ONE SIDE, THE PIER MIGHT TIP OVER:))
 I STAYED WITH THE BIKES WHILE LORRAINE TOOK A FEW PICS AND VICE VERSA
THE PEOPLE IN THE BOAT ARE AT THE FINISH LINE AND THAT YELLOW BLOB IN THE WATER FURTHER UP ARE ALL THE LITTLE DUCKS AT THE STARTING LINE
AND, HERE THEY COME:))
 RACING BY AT BREAK NECK SPEED OR LESS THAN HALF A MILE AN HOUR 
 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PIER WAS A LONE PADDLE BOATER
 WOODSY SNAPS A FEW PICS
With temps hitting 80F today, I had to fire up my fans.  I have one in the living room that blows directly on me in my recliner, and one in the sunroom blowing on me at my computer desk.  We might have to kick on the A/C tomorrow with temps predicted to go over 80.

THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE AT ROSIE'S ICE CREAM SHOPPE
 WITH PARKING AT A PREMIUM ALONG BAYFIELD'S MAIN STREET THIS AFTERNOON, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS FINDING PARKING FOR OUR VEHICLES
 WHILE LORRAINE HEADS INTO A STORE, I AND MY BIKE HELMET STAND GUARD OVER THE BIKES

ON THE WAY HOME WE STOPPED WHILE WOODSY PICKED A FEW LILACS FOR OUR GOOD NEIGHBOR MONICA
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from an exclusive jewelry store. "Listen," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about this?" The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive?"

At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. "The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. Entertain. And stay home at night!" An old granny overheard and spoke up, "Girl, if that's all you want, get a TV!"

If a pig loses its voice…
Is it disgruntled?

I lost my voice today.
I can't tell you how annoying it is.

How many voice actors does it take to change a light bulb? Six. One to do it, and five to say, “I was offered that job first!”

An older couple wakes up in the morning and the husband looks over at his wife and says, " Wow! You wouldn't believe the dream I had...The wife replies, "Yes, go on tell me." So the husband says "I had a dream that you left me after 20 years of being married."The wife says, "Oh, it sounds more like a nightmare." The husband says, "No, I am sure it was a dream."
