A LITTLE GREEN HAPPY FACE GUIDES ME IN & OUT OF THE CT SCANNER THIS MORNING

ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK

To say we awoke to anything but a dull dismal rainy day would be an understatement. Heavy cloud cover was only a couple hundred feet off the deck as I Jeeped my way east for Stratford Ontario. Tops of tall microwave antennae's were lost in the clouds.

HOW NICE TO HAVE A SPIFFY CLEAN JEEP TO DRIVE TODAY:))

It’s a pleasant hour’s drive from Bayfield to Stratford if one knows the quiet & paved back roads. Having spent most of my life in this area, I know all those back roads. Despite the moderate & steady rain I enjoyed rolling through the South-western rural farm lands. Always nice to see old familiar places & touch base with old familiar memories.
-----------------------------------
I was 50 minutes reaching the outskirts of Stratford & I was plenty early for my 11 a.m. CT Scan. I always make it a point to be early for wherever it is I am going. In this case I was early enough to stop at Sobey’s Grocery Store near the Hospital & pick up a few groceries. It was my first time in a grocery store since returning from Arizona & as usual I was dismayed at the price of things on the shelves.
---------------------------
Another couple of blocks had me at the Hospital & having lived in Stratford for 20 years between 75 & 95 I knew where to park & avoid the heavy parking fees at the Hospital itself. A short 4 minute walk in a bit of drizzle had me at the main entrance in no time. I had skipped breakfast this morning so was anticipating a nice egg salad sandwich near the Hospitals main lobby. Whoooops, forgot it was Sunday…..snack bar closed!!

 

SCORE ONE FOR THE SQUIRRELS TODAY
Checked the directory board to see where the ‘Imaging Center’ was located & off I went on the main floor to the new section of the Hospital. Instantly recognized it as the area where I had met my Uncle Harry last year when he had been brought in from Mitchell by van for a CT Scan himself. Only difference this time, I was the only person in the whole department. Not a single person around anywhere, no people waiting, no staff, nobody. The whole Hospital seemed all but deserted. Now, how nice is that for a quiet little fellow like myself.

NOW, THIS IS HOW I LIKE TO SEE A WAITING ROOM…..EMPTY
As previously stated, I was very much on the early side so enjoyed looking at all the modern architecture & design of the new ‘Imaging’ waiting room with it’s 40 foot ceiling. Choked down a boring, but mandatory bottle of water & waited. At 10:45 a staff member walked in & registered me. She then took me to another room & made me take my clothes off.

MY HEALTH CARD SITS ATOP A VACANT DESK AWAITING SOMEONE TO PAY SOME ATTENTION TO IT

In a cubicle of course, & put on a blue backwards hospital gown over my shorts & socks. Well, over my shorts anyway. Socks were just too far away to put anything over. Another few minutes in a nearby waiting room & a second lady appeared in sweatshirt & blue jeans. She took me into another room & told me to lie on my back on a narrow bed affair with my arms & hands backwards over my head, or else.
----------------------------
I right away recognized the big vertical doughnut CT Scanner from my previous trip into one 4 months ago in Tucson, Arizona. Well, I remember parts of that trip that is. They had me on intravenous Morphine at the time so my experience of traveling on a gurney to & from the big round doughnut machine is a little sketchy. The thing I remember most about my CT Scan in Tucson was the number of cell phone calls coming into the Scanner’s operator. Think I remember 7 or 8 calls he had to handle while processing me in the big round tube.
---------------------------
Today’s procedure, with nothing more than a tasteless boring bottle of water in my system, remains much more vivid. First thing I noticed when looking up as I was automatically slid into the scanner was the little green profile of a ‘Happy Face.’ How nice I thought, the designers of the machine had incorporated some soothing humor into the large foreboding look & workings of their machine.
------------------------------

YEP, STILL LOTS OF SUMMER STUFF TO GET OUT OF THE SHED YET

The machine was all awhirl with sounds I’m sure I’ve heard before on the deck of the Starship Enterprise. “Take it up to warp speed Scotty”. “Aye Aye Captain”. The theme from Star Trek was interrupted by a loud recorded voice saying, “Take a deep breath”!! The little green Happy Face switched to an amber little puffy face holding it’s breath. Cute:)) The bed under me moved back taking me out of the scanner. The big voice boomed, “Breath.” Thank you:)) I was then moved back into the scanner & the same procedure repeated about 4 or 5 times. And, that was it. Total time spent in the big doughnut….maybe 5 minutes, if that. Before rolling off the bed I winked a silent goodbye to my new found little green Happy Face friend & his puffy faced buddy, Amber boy.
---------------------
The lady scanner operator told me my kidney stone is definitely on the left side. She also told me to go get dressed & hit the road. Well, not exactly but she did wish me well with my Doctor’s appointment this coming Wednesday. Minutes later I exited the sleeping Sunday hospital, saddled up my Jeep & headed for home. None the worse for wear I may add. However, I know this is about to change & that change will soon be ramped up a bit beginning Wednesday when the Urologist has the CT Scan results in his hands. And, he has me quivering & shaking on the other side of his big desk:((
------------------------------------

I KNEW WE DIDN’T HAVE A LOT OF SNOW THIS WINTER WHEN OUR OLD WOODEN RAIN BARREL ENDED UP ONLY TWO THIRDS FULL OF WATER >>>
Again, nice drive back to Bayfield enjoying the scenery & listening to tunes of the 40’s on my Sirius Satellite radio. Rain had stopped & the skies had brightened. I miss seeing my mountains all around but the rural scenery here in south-western Ontario is pretty in it’s own right. Even on a rainy day kind of…………….:))
--------------------------
And welcome to our latest Blog Follower INGER who I am assuming was a Swedish native at one time but now lives somewhere in the mountains of California. Welcome to our blog Inger & hope you can hang in long enough until we are in travel mode again:))
-----------------------------------
Oh, & to clear up a sharp eyed reader’s concern that I was driving my Motorcycle with an expired tag. First bike photo was taken yesterday after I had started it. Second rear view file photo from April 2011 was added later last night. Soooooo, just to set the record straight, I took a third photo this afternoon to prove that “yes” I do have the appropriate up to date tag on my bike for 2012:))

GROANER’S CORNER:(( An old woman says to her friend: “You know, last night I was shivering all over from cold.”
Her friend: “Do you remember if your teeth chattered?”
The old woman: “I don’t think so. We haven’t slept together for ages.”

AFTER 5 CRANKS…..IT STARTED:))

SPRING CROCUS

At 44F early this morning it was warmer in Bayfield Ontario than Congress Az at 41F. Not surprising because desert nights can get pretty cold.  But, here we are Saturday night & our temperature outside is 56 while Congress is struggling along at only 44F.  Hey, what the heck’s going on down there!! 

The rain surprised me this morning.  Didn’t think we were going to get it till afternoon.  Had to scramble around closing shed doors, etc. Turned out to be a good opportunity to get some inside cleaning done again so hauled my Shop-Vac into the Motorhome for digging into those corners, cracks & crevices the normal floor vac can’t get into. Don’t know where I am getting all the energy from this week but I sure welcome it with open arms & had better make the best of it while it’s here:))

 

Our weather straightened up around noon with warming temperatures.  Following a short snooze I pulled my battery off the trickle charger & headed outside to the carport with it.  Five crank’s on the starter switch had my Motorcycle up & running at precisely 1:41 P.M.   Always a big bonus for me to get any kind of a gasoline engine started after hibernation.  Took the bike for a short spin around the Park.  All systems looked good for another two wheeling summer.  With the price of gas these days I had better get used to spending more time using 2 cylinders instead of 6.  Of course I say that every Spring……….

 

2002 HONDA SHADOW AERO 1100
Always interesting how people make major decisions & the events leading up to those decisions. Buying a house, a Motorhome, or deciding on a lifestyle change can be meticulously planned or sometimes just happen by chance. It’s interesting how Canadians Peter & Bea from AMERICAN TRAVELER, having already decided on a location change for their next house, pulled up stakes in Alberta, full timed for a year, & then stumbled across a little Island off the east coast of Maine. Now, how did that happen?
 

AS PROMISED, A PICTURE OF….’THE SOLUTION’

Kelly & I had the idea in the back of our minds for a couple years to find us a little piece of property or a house in the Southwest. Kelly always checked the Real Estate for whatever areas we were traveling in & we did look at a fair number of properties. But, it was by pure accident that we ended up in a little whistle stop of a place called Congress, Arizona. Had we not had a bad day going through Lake Havasu a few weeks prior to choosing a secondary route through Wickenburg Arizona, we never would have come across our little house in Congress. Strange how happenstance events can sometimes lead to major decisions. Kind of like Peter & Bea finding Campobello Island.

Sunday morning I am off to Stratford early to have myself put in the big round vertical doughnut tube machine, sometimes referred to as a CT Scanner.  I don’t expect any traumatic happenings unless I fall asleep on them while stretched out on the board.
The weather map tells me we have a big blonk of rain headed our way tomorrow so looks like Jeepy Jeepers is going to be back to her dirty old self again by the time I get back.  Oh dear:((

EVENING WALK

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A man is driving down a country road, when he spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what are you doing?"
The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the man, puzzled.
"Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize . . . to people who are out standing in their field."

PHEEBS……THE BABY SMOOCHING DOG:))

HAD MYSELF A BUSY CLEANING DAY AGAIN

When I woke up this morning I was aware I was still in clean-up mode from Thursday so without further ado after my morning shake I slipped outside, hooked up the water, & had me a go at the Jeep. The directions on a jug of something we picked up in Quartzsite this year said you can use it as a waterless wash but that is a concept I can’t get my head around so I washed the Jeep first & then went over part of it with….the ‘Solution’. I don’t care what a product claims to do, I was not about to take a cloth & rub a liquid into or onto a shiny smooth & painted metal surface without first washing off the abrasive sand & grit. Figured we have enough desert pin striping on the Jeep without adding a lot of new swirls & twirls.

I LOVE MY LITTLE JEEPY JEEPERS:))

The washing went fine but as always here with our overly chlorinated water, the Jeep ended up with it’s usual multiple white water spots. Using a chamois only pulls those spots into streaks so figured this was a good time to try…..the ‘Solution’. Yes, that is what it is really called. (I will remember to take a pic of the bottle tomorrow)

Well, it did take out those water spots alright but I’ll have to use it a few more times before I am convinced it is an overall miracle product like some claim. Reminds me a lot of Armor-All. Must say the Jeep is looking very spiffy now & it’s like we have a new vehicle. Maybe I just better keep it off the gravel roads this summer….ya right!!

RIGHT SIDE OF THE RIG IS WASHED & THE LEFT SIDE ISN’T

No sooner had I finished the Jeep when I swung around & tackled the front end of the Motorhome. Boy, was that a mess with all the bugs & road grime from the past 5 months on there. Took a lot of water, bug & tar remover, a stiff brush, a brillo type pad & a whole lot of elbow grease to get that windshield & front end all cleaned up again. And much of that work has to be done from atop a tall ladder to reach high up the windshield & front roof line. It was well into early afternoon before I was able to finally step back & breathe a heavy sigh of relief knowing the Motorhome’s front end was finally done.

SURPRISING WHAT JUST A LITTLE SOAP & WATER MIXED WITH SOME ELBOW GREASE CAN DO…LEFT SIDE DIRTY & RIGHT SIDE CLEAN
Sensing I still had some energy units left I then slipped inside the rig & tackled the driving & passenger compartment. Boy oh boy, was that ever a mess as I scrubbed & scrubbed the dash, windows, coffee holders, etc. And to think, this is only the start of the annual big Motorhome clean-up. When I thought about it I had to come in the house, stretch out in my recliner, & think about it some more…zzzzzzzzzz.

DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS MY BED OR PHEEBS BED BUT US TWO OLD DOGS SLEEP HERE EVERY NIGHT

And, speaking of Motorhomes. After reading RETIRED ROD'S post yesterday about all the rules & regulations he will be facing in his new winter place in Mesa Arizona next season I realize how lucky we are to be able to park our rig right on our own property not only here in Bayfield but in Congress Arizona as well. Can’t imagine not being allowed to have our Motorhome at our own place.

 

MIKE, ABIGAIL, KAYLA & PHEEBS

A couple of years after moving into our present home here at 5 Seasons Estates we decided it was time to put an entirely new roof on our place.  One morning after a particularly bad winter storm we met a fellow out front who had driven into the Park to help with the storm damage clean-up.  Some downed trees & many tree limbs.  His name was Mike O’Brien & over the next few months we became friends with Mike & got to know him.  One day I asked Mike if he knew anyone who could put a new roof on our house.  His answer was quick……“I can”.  With those words began a project that lasted for the next couple of years.  Not only did Mike single handedly build us a brand new roof but he built us the lovely sun room we now have, added a deck to join the sun room & front porch, repaired walls where needed & completely sided our whole house with vinyl siding.  He did all the electric, plumbing where needed & just about anything else you could think of.  A very, very, handy fellow.  Mike doesn’t live in the immediate area any more but has always kept in touch.  Today, Mike dropped in to say hello with his daughter Kayla & newest member of the family, 6 month old Abigail.  What a little sweetie pie she is & Pheebs thought so to. 

 

A LITTLE PHEEBER SMOOCH FOR ABIGAIL

 

NOT ONLY IS PHEEBS A ‘COW SMOOCHING DOG’ BUT SHE IS A BABY SMOOCHING ONE TOO
Kelly & Pheebs were out running some errands this morning & came home with some take out Tai food from the new ‘Our Tai Restaurant Of Huron restaurant in Bayfield. As readers know, I am not a very adventurous food person & anything from another country kind of leaves me with the shivers. Anything hauled out of the ocean gives me double shivers. I was not too optimistic about whatever it was she had in the brown paper bag. Would it be fish heads with empty gazing eye sockets? Well, I was pleasantly surprised as I cautiously ate my Mussaman Curry Chicken & Springer Rolls. Anytime someone can add flavor to otherwise boring tasteless rice, I am interested. The Thai food tasted just great.

 

 

Below is a photo of a 3 foot section of tail pipe off the Motorhome. It was our last night on the road & we had just stopped in Lansing Michigan for the night. Upon walking around the rig doing a circle check after another long day I noticed this section of tail pipe on the driver’s side hanging down just a few inches from the pavement. With a couple twists & a short tug it came right off in my hands. How lucky we were this pipe had not come off on it’s own which I suspect it would have the next day. At 65 mph that pipe could easily have punctured the rubber black tank above it & ricocheted straight back into the Jeep’s front tire, radiator, windshield, or wherever. Could have been a very nasty incident indeed if it had continued through the air striking following traffic. It had broken or rusted out at the clamp under the Motorhome so we didn’t know of the potential danger until I saw the pipe hanging down. Close call for sure!! Checked the tail pipe on the other side & it is rusty as well, but not loose. We will definitely get that section of pipe replaced this summer as well.

THIS CHUNK OF STEEL PIPE COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE  HAD IT FALLEN OFF ON THE INTERSTATE

  
It was one month ago this morning while having breakfast with Peter from AMERICAN TRAVELER near Vulture Peak Arizona that we got the cell phone call we had been patiently waiting for. It was our Real Estate agent up in Prescott phoning to tell us our Congress house purchase was a done deal. Already it seems like so very, very, long ago.

 
GROANER’S CORNER:(( One morning a man came into the church on crutches.
He stopped in front of the holy water, put some on both legs, and then threw away his crutches.
An alter boy witnessed the scene and then ran into the rectory to tell the priest what he'd just seen.
"Son, you've just witnessed a miracle," the priest said.
"Tell me where is this man now?"
"Flat on his arse over by the holy water," said the boy.

DUST STORM INSIDE THE JEEP

My mission this morning was the Jeep. Had they ever looked inside our dusty little desert buggy at the border they would have charged us for bringing across a load of Arizona gravel. Every time we opened the doors at the same time it set off a desert dust storm inside the Jeep & I couldn’t find the steering wheel. So, this morning, with a bucket of soapy water & vacuum cleaner in hand I tackled the Jeep’s interior. Couple hours later it looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line. Already looking forward to getting it all dusted up again next winter:)) Maybe tomorrow I’ll hook up the outside water & have a go at the exterior. ‘Heavens to Murgatroids’, can you imagine a sparkly shiny suburban looking Jeep in our driveway.  No, neither can I.

ABOVE, A POPLAR TREE LEAF’S OUT & LEFT, A MAPLE TREE’S UNFOLDING LEAVES

All of today’s photos were taken when Pheebs & I headed out on an afternoon walk in the forest. Looking forward to the arrival of Spring songbirds soon filling the quiet forest air with their joyous singing.

I’M THINKING THIS IS A BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEE >>>
The Sedona area of Arizona has to be one of the most scenic areas in the State. We were there briefly a few years ago & I’m hoping we can spend more time in that region over the next few years. Sedona is only a few hours drive northeast of our Congress house now. Can you imagine seeing all those beautiful rocks & canyons from horseback. JOHN & BRENDA did just that recently. In fact they see a lot of Arizona from horseback. Canadian ranchers from Alberta, they also have a winter place southwest of Phoenix. John & Brenda are true horse people & trailer their horses between their northern digs in Alberta called, Dog Pound North to their southern digs in Arizona called…..yes, Dog Pound South. We met John about 4 or 5 years ago one time when he looked us up while we were boondocking near Quartzsite Arizona.

WE STILL HAVE DANDELIONS BLOOMING

A reader questions why I never talk about California Parks. Well, first off let me say that we have not been to a lot of California Parks. But, as many long time readers know, I have written extensively each year about our adventurous times spent in California’s second largest Anza-Borrego State Park. Another one of our favorite all time places in & around Borrego Springs. Have also written about our trip to Joshua Tree National Park & also the Lone Pine area of California. Any of the above names typed into the search bar at the top of our blog sites right hand column will give you access to my many California posts. Even Slab City:))

A LONE PINE CONE SNAGGED ON A BRANCH

I again had a couple questions about my camera gear. I have 2 Nikon DSLR's & 2 smaller point & shoot Canon cameras. My Nikon D40 carries a Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto lens & my Nikon D90 carries a Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 wide angle lens. My Nikon D90 is the workhorse but I do have a preference for my simpler & easier to use D40. The D90 replaced my D50 which I accidentally dropped on a cement porch back in February of 2011. My smaller carry along cameras are both point & shoot Canons. An older Powershot A720iS & a newer Canon Powershot SX210iS which travels in a case on my belt everywhere I go. 

THIS COLTSFOOT HAS GONE TO SEED

A second question asks if I edit my photos & my answer to that is, ‘yes’. Especially every photo I take with my D40 because of all the dust on my camera sensor. I have to retouch all the dust specs out of each picture. I generally adjust the contrast in my photos, sometimes sharpening them & quite often cropping them using Google’s free PICASA 3.9 PHOTO EDITING PROGRAM. I see many good photos out here in Blog Land that could be made better if only folks would take a little time & make an effort to understand the wonders of their photo editing program. And, photo editing programs do not get much easier than Picasa.  If it wasn’t easy, I wouldn’t be using it…………

OUR CORKSCREW TREE BEGINS TO BUD OUT

GROANER’S CORNER:(( There were two good ol' boys from Alabama, who love to fish, and they wanted to do some ice fishing. They'd heard about it up in Canada, so they took off up there. The lake was frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, "We're gonna need an ice pick." So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're gonna need another dozen ice picks."
Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the old boy left. In about an hour, he was back. Said, "We're gonna need all the ice picks you've got."
The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"
"Not very well at all," he said. "We ain't even got the boat in the water yet."

COOL DAY WORKING OUTSIDE & MY EYE EXAM GOES OK:))

I could see the cloud cover was beginning to break early this morning. Despite our cold 36F start to the day I knew I had a bunch of yard work to finish up so it was going to be a ‘dress warmly’ day. A neighbour's car needed to be started after a long winter’s hibernation as well. Amazing how after nearly 6 months of sitting I just re-attached the battery cables, turned the key & the little Honda was instantly purring like a contented kitten. Had 2 Honda Civics years ago & they were just the best cars of ever. Same with my Honda motorcycle. Runs like a top & doesn’t make a great big noise:))

MALE RED WING BLACKBIRD
Had myself a busy morning pushing my wheelbarrow around with loads of raked up pine needles. I dump them in a pile alongside the road & later pick them up with my utility trailer & take them to a recycling area we have here in the Park. I sure have taken many trailer loads of Pine needles to that recycling area in the past 9 years.  Especially when I used to do a lot of stuff for neighbours.
 

Last haircut for me was early November of 2011 so this morning Kelly got out the scissors & put a quick end to that 5 month reign of hair. I once again have my grade one first day at school haircut look again. Eee Gads!!

Been a couple years since I last had my eyes checked & today’s check-up revealed my eyes are in good shape with only minor changes in prescription & cataract progression. My current frames are about 15 years old with the lenses themselves being 8 years old & scratched up enough to look like they came out of a sandpaper factory. Today I finally gave in & ordered new frames & lenses. Yikes, that sure wasn’t cheap!!

INGRID HUBBARD joins us today as Blog Follower 479.  Thank you for dropping by Ingrid & welcome to our travels.  Afraid we won’t be traveling too far until the Fall but if I decide to keep this Blog going for the summer again maybe you will find something of interest here:))

PRIMROSE
My Urologist’s office phoned this afternoon with an appointment for my CT Scan. Would you believe it’s this Sunday. Didn’t know those folks worked on Sundays & hard to believe they got me booked in on such short notice. That is not the norm here in Canada. They also scheduled an appointment to go over the CT Scan results next Wednesday at the Urologist’s office in Stratford. Yikes!!

SAND CHERRY BLOSSOMS

Only weeks after having both knees done in a bilateral knee surgery, Stu from 2 TAKING A FIFTH is up & about with the aid of a cane. Read STU'S ACCOUNT of what lead up his decision to have both knees done at the same time. In his continuing account Stu talks about pre-op, day of the surgery & post-op. Informative reading for anyone facing knee surgery in the future. We met Stu & Froggy Donna along with some other Blogger friends in the Kofa Mountains near Quartzsite Arizona a few years ago…….A GET TOGETHER IN THE DESERT.

And, we received this photo below of our Arizona house today taken by fellow RV’er & traveling Canadian, Gerrit. Gerrit & his wife are currently staying at the Escapee’s North Ranch just outside of Congress, Arizona.  Coincidentally another RV’er & fellow Blogger, WHERE'S WEAVER is also at North Ranch this week exploring around the area.

ALTHOUGH BOTTOM RIGHT SAYS ‘BAYFIELD BUNCH’ THE PHOTO WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN BY GERRIT VAN KEULEN

GROANER’S CORNER:(( McNally was taking his first plane ride, flying over the Rocky Mountains. The stewardess handed him a piece of chewing gum. "It's to keep your ears from popping at high altitudes," she explains.
When the plane landed McNally rushed up to her. "Miss," he said, "I'm meeting me wife right away. How do I get this gum out of my ears?"
