I GOTTA KEEP THE BALL ROLLING

 BAYFIELD BOAT DOCKS AT SUNSET

I was wide awake at 5:30 this morning, and my day was underway with partially clear skies overhead.  It was 44F, and that was okay because at least we were above freezing.  With Pheebs not too interested in going out, I dispensed with the car ride and right away got myself busy with the ongoing clean-up.  This morning, I concentrated my efforts on the wooden shed and once again made good progress.  By mid-afternoon, I had it all cleaned out and as crazy as it sounds, I hauled the ShopVac in to vacuum it as well.  I have a few things to move back in but not a lot.  All four recycle bins are about maxed out and I was able to burn more stuff.  Tomorrow I will probably tackle the metal shed.  I'm on a roll and I gotta keep the ball rolling.  The metal shed is going to be a major challenge.

The only pics I took today were a couple clean-up pics but I do have some from Tuesday night's sunset in and a drive along Bayfield's Main Street.

 AN EVENING WALK ON THE SOUTH PIER

 ALTHOUGH LOOKING LIKE A MOUNTAIN RANGE, IT IS A LOW-LYING CLOUD BANK CLOSE TO THE HORIZON

FOLLOWING THE SUNSET I TOOK A DRIVE ALONG BAYFIELD'S MAIN STREET AND TOOK A FEW QUICK PICS OF A FEW STORE WINDOWS

 I HAVE ALWAYS REALLY LIKED SUBIE'S COLORFUL DASH LIGHT ARRAY

Al's Music Box:)) Honeycomb is a popular song written by Bob Merrill in 1954. The best-selling version was recorded by Jimmie Rodgers and charted at number one on the Billboard Top 100 in 1957. "Honeycomb" also reached number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart and number seven on the Country & Western Best Sellers in Stores chart. It became a gold record. The song is referenced in the McGuire Sisters' hit song "Sugartime", in which the soloist sings the line "Just be my honeycomb" and the word "honeycomb" is echoed by the other sisters and the male chorus. 

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The shipwrecked mariner had spent several years on a deserted island. Then one morning he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and a smaller vessel pulling out toward him.  When the boat grounded on the beach, the officer in charge handed the marooned sailor a bundle of newspapers and told him, "The captain said to read through these and let us know if you still want to be rescued."

Frustrated, the teen storms into his sister's bedroom. "Why are adults are always asking us what we want to be when we grow up?"  Without hesitation, the sister replies, "It's because they’re looking for ideas.”

Love is holding hands in the street.
Marriage is holding arguments in the street.
Love is dinner for 2 in your favorite restaurant.
Marriage is Chinese take-out.
Love is cuddling on a sofa.
Marriage is deciding on a sofa.
Love is talking about having children.
Marriage is talking about getting away from children.
Love is going to bed early.
Marriage is going to sleep early.
Love is a romantic drive.
Marriage is a long, hot ride.
Love is losing your appetite.
Marriage is losing your figure.
Love is sweet nothings in the ear.
Marriage is sweet nothings in the bank.
Love is a flickering flame.
Marriage is a flickering television.
Love is 1 drink and 2 straws.
Marriage is "Don't you think you've had enough?!"

I JUST GOT AT IT RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO

 I WAS A FEW MINUTES LATE FOR MONDAY NIGHT'S SUNSET BUT I DID CATCH SOME RIM LIGHTING AS OLD SOL DIPPED BEHIND A LOW CLOUD COVER ON THE HORIZON

It was pedal to the metal for me all day, working on my big clean-up here.  Not even a car ride for Pheebs and I this morning.  I just got right at it from the get-go.  Made a lot of progress in the carport storage area and and filled one two-wheel dumpster and half-filled two others.  I got rid of all our RV paper stuff like magazines, brochures, maps, etc.  They had been piling up since our beginning RV days back in 2006.  Got rid of a lot of other 'old' RV stuff too...both metal and plastic.

I FIRST TACKLED OUR WOODEN SHED THIS MORNING BEFORE SWITCHING OVER TO THE CARPORT

IN THE CARPORT, PHEEBS GOT SO TIRED WATCHING ME THAT SHE HAD TO LAY DOWN FOR A LITTLE AFTERNOON SNOOZE

 I WAS BUSY FILLING DUMPSTERS TODAY

I DISMANTLED AND THEN BURNT UP AN OLD DRESSER

About 1:15 this afternoon, the lawyer's office in Clinton phoned saying the income tax paperwork I had taken in last Thursday is done and ready to be picked up.  So, off to Clinton I went and picked it up.  Surprise-Surprise there was no charge.  I then headed straight away to Goderich and dropped the paperwork off at the H&R Income Tax place.  From there, and with a Wendy's coupon in my pocket for a burg, fries, and coffee, I slipped through the Wendy's drive-thru, grabbed my stash and headed for home.  By the way, it was a beautiful sunny day but a little on the cool side because of the wind.  No matter, I was a happy camper to see and feel the sun shining all day.

Al's Music Box:)) Do Wah Diddy by Manfred Mann is a song written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and originally recorded in 1963, as "Do-Wah-Diddy", by the American vocal group the Exciters. Cash Box described the Exciters' version as "a sparkling rocker that bubbles over with coin-catching enthusiasm" and said that the "great lead job is backed by a fabulous instrumental arrangement."  The song was soon covered and made internationally famous by British R&B, beat, and pop band Manfred Mann.  They're version was released on 10 July 1964.  It spent two weeks at No. 1 of the UK Singles Chart in August and two weeks at No. 1 of the US Billboard Hot 100 in October.  Billboard said it "features a powerful beat with Mann's solo echoed by a male chorus."  Cash Box described it as "a thumpin' novelty rocker that's right up the teeners' alley."

 BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK

GROANER'S CORNER:(( How was your blind date?" a college student asked her roommate.  "Terrible!" the roommate answered. "He showed up in his 1932 Rolls-Royce."  "Wow! That's a very expensive car. What's so bad about that?"  "He was the original owner."

- I recently took up meditation.  It's certainly better than sitting around doing nothing.

- In class, the teacher was trying desperately to get the students to think. He asked, “If the Pilgrims were alive today, what would they be most famous for?”One student quickly responded, “Their age.”

Catelin: My Mom has the worst memory.
Amanda: She forgets everything?
Catelin: No, she remembers everything!

Congratulations my boy!" said the groom's uncle. "I'm sure you'll look back and remember today as the happiest day of your life."  "But I'm not getting married until tomorrow." Protested his nephew.  "I know," replied the uncle. "That's exactly what I mean."

Q: Why do men prefer intelligent women?
A: Opposites attract.

-----------------------------------------
A Jewish man took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park He sat down on a bench and began eating. A little while later a blind man came by and sat down next to him.  Feeling neighborly, the Jewish man passed a sheet of matzo to the blind man.  The blind man ran his fingers over the matzo for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, "Who wrote this?!"
