A BIG BATCH OF SAUSAGE SOUP...MY FAV

IN BAYFIELD EARLIER TODAY
With no snow overnight, I had a snow shoveling reprieve this morning, but oh my, was it ever cold at 9F with a matching wind making things even worse.  No matter, I fired up Subie anyway and off we went for a drive into Bayfield.  I noticed at the Bayfield Beach, where work has been ongoing, that there is actually a third row of large boulders running parallel to the shoreline.  I am curious to see what this beach project actually ends up being.  From the beach, I headed up the hill into Bayfield for a cruise along Main Street before heading home.  

 CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT WAS IDLE AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH THIS MORNING
 TWO ROWS OF BOULDERS CAN BE SEEN HERE, BUT LOOK CLOSELY BECAUSE THERE IS A THIRD ROW OF BOULDERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PHOTO
 A MOUND OF SMALL ROCKS MAYBE BEING USED AS A BASE FOR THE HEAVY BOULDERS
 SHORE ICE EXTENDS OUT INTO THE LAKE, AND THAT THIN BLUE LINE IS THE UNFROZEN WATERS OF LAKE HURON ON THE DISTANT HORIZON
BOATER'S PICNIC TABLES AND DOCKS AWAIT NEXT SUMMER'S WARM DAYS
The rest of the day was spent inside, staying out of the miserable, freezing cold.  Woodsy made up a big batch of sausage soup.  My fav.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Worried that they hadn't heard anything for days from the widow in the apartment next door, the mother said to her son, "Tony, would you go next door and see how old Mrs. Pierpoint is?" A few minutes later, Tony returned. "Well, is she all right?" asked the mother."She's fine, but she's rather annoyed with you," remarked Tony. "At me?" the mother exclaimed. "Whatever for?" Tony replied, "Mrs. Pierpoint said it's none of your business how old she is."

Q: what is the little Moron doing when he holds his hands tightly over his ears?

A: Trying to hold onto a thought.

- I made a pencil with an eraser on each end. It was pointless.

I was out drinking with my mates at a party last night, when I suddenly looked at my phone and noticed 18 missed calls from my wife .Is she insecure or what? That's an average of 6 calls a day!

On his way out of church after mass, Frank stopped at the door to speak to the minister. "Would it be right," he asked, "for a person to profit from the mistakes of another?" "Absolutely not!" replied the pastor, disappointed that Frank would even ask such a question. "In that case," said the young man, "I wonder if you'd consider returning the hundred dollars I paid you to marry my wife and me last July."
