SUBIE IS BACK TO HER GOOD OLD SMOOTHLY QUIET SELF AGAIN

My little excursion to the Bayfield Garage with the E-bike on the back of the car on Sunday evening went off without a hitch.  I parked the car at the garage, took the bike off, mounted up, and headed straightaway for the Woodland Drive-In, whereupon I chased a foot-long hot dog down with a soft ice cream cone.  From there, it was down Bayfield's Main Street to Pioneer Park to nab a few early sunset photos.  The ride from there home was uneventful, and I was back well before dark.     

 HERE'S SUBIE'S SPOT FOR THE NIGHT AT THE BAYFIELD GARAGE

YUP, THAT THAR'S MY FOOT LONGE HOT DOG ALRIGHT

 ON MY WAY TO PIONEER PARK I SPOTTED THIS 'CLASS A' MOTORHOME WITH KIND OF AN ODD PAINT JOB

 MY BASE OF OPERATIONS AT THE PARK

THIS LITTLE DOG WENT FLYING BY DOING ABOUT 85 MPH, AND WITH PEOPLE SHOUTING AT HIM, I DETERMINED HIS NAME WAS 'PIPER'

 A SAILBOAT HEADS BECK INTO PORT AFTER AN EVENING'S CRUISE

WELL, JUST ABOUT TIME TO HEAD FOR HOME

No car this morning, so no country road walk.  Instead, with much-welcome cooler air upon us, I spent time outside dealing with weeds and stuff.  By noon, with temperatures once again climbing, I retreated into the house and waited for a call from the garage to come pick up the car.  Of course, it wasn't an idle wait, with birds and chipmunks to feed as well as any other little critters that might happen along, like bunnies, spiders, and toads, etc.......The Bayfield Garage called shortly after 5 saying the Subaru was all fixed up and ready to go, so it was out to the carport I went, saddled up my E-Bike and pedal-powered my way into Bayfield a couple of miles away.  Reaching the garage, I secured the bike on the bike carrier and slipped in to pay the bill.  Here's the breakdown on the repair....That driver's side front wheel had a new wheel bearing installed last summer, and it required another one today, which was luckily covered under warranty so no charge there.  But the wheel also required a control arm bushing which was torn, and a stabilizer bar kit that was loose.  They also inspected for noises and replaced`a rattling exhaust shield clamp. As mentioned, the wheel bearing was also replaced.  My bill came to $496.23 with 57.09 being taxes.  Subie is back to her good old smoothly quiet self again......  

ABOUT READY TO LOAD UP THE BIKE

 SURE ARE A LOT OF DAY LILIES AROUND THE HOUSE THIS YEAR

GROANER'S CORNER:(( At a southern university, students in the psychology program were attending their first class on emotional extremes."Just to establish some parameters," said the professor to the student from Arkansas, "what is the opposite of joy?" "Sadness," said the student. "And the opposite of depression?" he asked of the young lady from Oklahoma. "Elation," she said. "And you sir," he said to the young man from Texas, "what about the opposite of woe?" The Texan replied, "Sir, I believe that would be 'giddy up' ."

Q: What do you call a dead atheist?

A: Someone all dressed up with nowhere to go!

Mary goes to her first show at an art gallery and is looking at the paintings. One is a huge canvas that has black with yellow blobs of paint splattered all over it. The next painting is a murky gray color that has drips of purple paint streaked across it. Mary walks over to the artist and says, I don't understand your paintings.
I paint what I feel inside me, explains the artist.
Have you ever tried Alka-Seltzer?
