PHEEBS AND I ARE ALWAYS SOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER

Sure isn't much to write about these days.  Pheebs and I went out for our usual morning car ride, took a few pics and came home.   At 1 p.m. I picked up my good buddy Richard at the Canadian Tire Store in Goderich where he had taken his van for an oil change.  There's a Tim Hortons coffee shop nearby so we grabbed a couple of coffees and carrot muffins and put in the next hour cruising a few back roads and shooting the breeze.  Richard is battling a few major health issues at the moment and I could tell this is a difficult time for him.  We arrived back at the CTC store just about the time they finished up with his van.  Richard headed for home and I slipped over to the ContinuIT Computer Shop store to see how they were making out with my Asus laptop.  They were still working on it so I said I'd be back maybe on Monday and headed off for home.  Pheebs and I are always soooooo happy to each other:))

 A COUPLE OF FARM DOGS SURE GAVE PHEEBS AND I A BIG BARKING AT WHEN WE WENT BY THIS MORNING

Al's Music Box:)) Burning Bridges is a song written by Walter Scott, and best known for its 1960 recording by Jack Scott, which was a #3 hit in the US. This was the only hit song for composer Walter Scott, who was no relation to Jack Scott.   The song was originally recorded by a relatively obscure country act called The Home Towners in 1957, but did not chart. Recorded by Jack Scott in 1960, "Burning Bridges" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 5 on the U.S. R&B chart in1960.  The single was produced by Sonny Lester.  It was featured on his 1960 album What in the World's Come Over You. The single's B-side, "Oh, Little One", reached No. 34 on the U.S. pop chart.

 SPOTTED 'OLD LONESOME' THIS MORNING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Chinese Doctor can't find a job in a Hospital in the US, so he opens his own clinic and puts a sign outside...........'GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100.'

An American lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my sense of taste.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 22 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth.'
Lawyer: 'Ugh. this is kerosene.'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me $20.'
The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.'
Lawyer (annoyed): 'This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste.'
Chinese: 'Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me $20.'
The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.
Lawyer: 'My eyesight has become very weak I can't see at all.'
Chinese: 'Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100.'
Lawyer (staring at the note): 'But this is $20, not $100!!'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me $20'

FOR ME, ANYTIME SNOW IS MELTING IS A GOOD DAY:))

A slightly foggy morning but Pheebs and I made our way around a few country roads anyway.  Some were snow-covered and some were muddy.  My friend brought a Dyson vacuum cleaner today and I was absolutely amazed at how much doggy fur that Dyson got out of our living and sunroom carpets.  Way more than our Hoover ever did and if I hadn't have seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.  I am now definitely a Dyson fan.  Other than an afternoon of deep cleaning, (yup, even behind the TV) there wasn't too much going on.  It was a dull gray day after all, but at least we bested the freezing mark with 34F.  Maybe not a fast snowmelt, but at least our heaping piles of snow were slowing melting, and for me, anytime snow is melting.......is a good day:))

Al's Music Box:)) Abilene is a song written by Bob Gibson, Lester Brown and John D. Loudermilk, and recorded by American country music artist George Hamilton IV. The song reached number one on the U.S. country music chart for four weeks, and peaked at number 15 on the pop music charts. George Hamilton IV performed "Abilene" in the 1963 movie Hootenanny Hoot.  Bob Gibson was inspired to write the song after watching the Randolph Scott film Abilene Town. The setting for the film is Abilene, Kansas, the railhead town at the end of the Chisholm Trail. Gibson said the song had often been erroneously thought to be about Abilene, Texas named for the Kansas cowtown that had been established 24 years earlier but a much larger city.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A minister has just died and is standing on line waiting to be judges and admitted to Heaven. While waiting he asks the man in front of him about himself. "I'm a taxi driver from Noo Youk Cidy"  Suddenly the angel standing at the gate calls out next, and the taxi driver steps up. The angel hands him a golden staff and a cornucopia of fruits, cheeses, and wine and lets him pass. The taxi driver is quite pleased and proceeds through the gates.  Next, the minister steps up to the angel and the angel hands him a wooden staff and some bread and water. The minister is very concerned and asks the angel, "That guy is a taxi driver and gets a golden staff and a cornucopia! I spend my entire life as a minister and get nothing! How can that be?"  The angel replies, "Up here we judge on results, all of your people sleep through your sermons, in his taxi, they pray."

- The Marx Bros seldom spoke of their embarrassing cousin...Skid Marx.

- I told my boss that three companies were after me, so I needed a raise in pay to stay with my current job.  He asked which companies?
I told him gas, electric, and cable.

A young banker decided to get his first tailor-made suit. So he went to the finest tailor in town and got measured for a suit. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked fabulous, he felt that in this suit he could do business.  As he was preening himself in front of the mirror he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you tell me you were a banker?"  The young man answered, "Yes, I did."  To this, the tailor said, "Whoever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?"
