THE KEYWORD IN THE LAST SENTENCE WAS, 'WEALTHY'!!

 OUR ABOUT-TO-BE-RENOVATED PARK CLUBHOUSE ON A COLD AND SNOWY JANUARY MORNING

It's cold and getting colder.  With only about ten pounds of birdseed left and uncertain weather ahead, I figured I had better get myself into Bayfield while the getting was good and pick me up three more twenty-pound bags of mixed wild birdseed that also include peanuts.  I still have a good supply of corn kernels and cobs left from my roadside scrounging a few months ago, so I think my front yard critters will fare well in the coming days and months. At noon today, we were at 6F with a wind chill factor of -23F.  Not nice, and it's about to get even much more un-nicer!!

THERE WAS NO POINT INTAKING A DRIVE EAST ON BAYFIELD RIVER ROAD THIS MORNING

 GOOD THING WE WENT TO GODERICH YESTERDAY AND NOT TODAY

BLOWING SNOW ACROSS PORTER'S HILL LINE

 BOTH MACHINES WERE WORKING ON THE BREAKWATER PROJECT AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH THIS MORNING

 EXCEPT ONE MACHINE HAD TO STOP AND BE REFUELED BY ITS OPERATOR

 DIESEL FUEL FOR THAT MACHINE CAME FROM A TANK IN THE BACK OF THAT PICKUP TRUCK

I asked Steve at the Porters Hill Wild Bird Seed Company this morning if he had heard anything about the work going on at Bayfield's Beach, and he said 'no,' but a friend of his had a theory.  Figures it might be a wealthy cottage owner having this breakwater built to prevent further shoreline erosion and prevent the risk of having his cottage tumble into the lake.  If that is so, the keyword in the last sentence was 'wealthy'!!

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A fisherman goes to the river to check an illegal fish trap that he owns. He looks around to make sure there are no Fishing Inspectors about and proceeds to pull the fish trap out to check it. An Inspector steps out of the bushes, “Ahha!” he said, and the fisherman spun around and yelled “Damn”. The Inspector, who wasn't expecting such a response, said “Settle down, I'm the Fishing Inspector”. “Thank God for that,” said the fisherman, “I thought you were the guy who owned this fish trap”.

The Little Moron went to the store to ask how to operate the new coffeemaker he received as a wedding gift. The salesman carefully explained how everything worked; how to plug it in, set the timer, go to bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready. A few weeks later, the Little Moron was back in the store and the salesman asked him how he liked the coffee maker. "Wonderful!" he replied, "But... it's just awfully inconvenient to have to go to bed every time I want to make a pot of coffee."

Three older ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, in front of the refrigerator, and I can't remember whether I was taking it out or putting it away."  The second lady said, "Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs, and I can't remember whether I was on my up, or on my way down." The third lady chimed in, "Well, I'm glad I don't have those problems. Knock on wood." With that, she rapped her knuckles on the table, then said, "That must be the door. I'll get it."
