AND THAT GREMLIN WAS ME!!

I didn't let the morning's overcast sky and later rain deter my spirits.  On my walking road, walking with head down, I heard a sudden low fluttering rumble off to my left.  Quickly looking up, I saw a large flock of Canada Geese close by, all taking to the air from the harvested wheat field to the west.  Once fully airborne, I estimated there were easily fifty or more birds, squawking wildly, and quickly forming up their flight patterns.  I felt kinda bad for disturbing them.  I guess that should teach me to walk with my head up. 

For the past couple of years I've had an old and heavy leather recliner sitting in the carport.  Many times I've looked at that recliner thinking, 'I should take that thing to the landfill site east of Holmesville one of these days'.  Well, that day finally came and this morning that is exactly what I did.  Instead of looking at again and again, I finally tossed it into the back of the Subaru and away I went.  It felt good to have another 'mission accomplished'.  I've got to do more positive things like that!!  With that chair finally out of the way, it spurred me on to do a big clean-up in that corner of the carport, and that of course, led to a feeling of accomplishment which I think is important to many Seniors, and not just myself.

 I WAS SURPRISED THESE CROWS DIDN'T FLY WHEN I DROVE BY

With both of my TVs in a state of frazzlement on Thursday, and my iPhone not connecting to my car's SiriusXM radio again, it was Andrew to the rescue.  When he popped over last night, I switched on the main TV.....and what the heck!!  It was working perfectly.  Andrew figured it had been a Tuckersmith problem brought on by the double power outages from Wednesday night's severe storm.  I was inclined to agree. I'm always too quick to blame myself when stuff doesn't work.  With a couple of clicks, we had the sunroom TV working fine as well.  Then, out to the car we went to see what rascally deeds the Gremlins were doing to my iPhone/XM connection.  Well, as it turns out, there was only one Gremlin responsible for the problem.  And that Gremlin was me!!  It only took Andrew a matter of seconds to see what the problem was.  An XM promotional ad on the phone's screen had me stumped, and despite a zillion times trying to get past that ad to my music, I was totally flummoxed.  Andrew, in his patience, simply had me gently 'swipe up' the ad to reveal, below the words, something to the effect, 'if you already have SiriusXM, press continue. Did that, and with a quick email address and a verification code, I was once again logged into my favorite music channel. The Spa 746. But here's the rub!! I had this exact same problem a couple of months ago, and Andrew told me then about that 'swipe up ' solution. But do you think my memory retained that simple fix??  No Sireeeeeeee it didn't:((.

 IT'S RARE TO SEE MOUNTAIN ASH TREES ANYMORE BUT i SPOTTED THESE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BAYFIELD ROAD AND TIPPERARY LINE

 AN EARLY SIGN OF AUTUMN IN OUR PARK

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Little Johnny's father took him on a fishing trip to Canada. On returning home after catching only three fish, his father says, "The way I figure it, each fish cost us $400!" Little Johnny replied, "Well, at that price it’s a good thing we didn’t catch any more of them than we did."

Mom: Do you think we’re made of money?
Daughter: Isn’t that what MOM stands for?

In my last job my wages were paid in vegetables. I left because i was unhappy with the celery.

It was a very moving ceremony. Even the cake is in tiers.

So, today, I told my team about the importance of dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.

Yeah. I was in a Zoom meeting when I told that joke, and they didn’t laugh either. It turns out I’m not even remotely funny.

Why are Catholics so upbeat after church gatherings? Because they convert Mass into energy.

I wanted to get rid of my old knackered flat-screen TV that doesn't work anymore.
The recycling company said they would charge me $50.00 to collect it and dispose of it. Instead, I paid $12.50 to an online courier to collect it and deliver it to somebody I don't like!
