DRAT, NOW I HAD SOME DECISIONS TO MAKE

THERE WERE A COUPLE FLYING WIND SURFERS OUT AT GODERICH'S ROTARY COVE EARLIER TODAY

Well, I went and did a silly this morning. I have an assortment of vitamins and prescription pills that I take each morning. At night, I also take a sleeping pill and a Tylenol nighttime sinus pill. Yup, you probably have already guessed it. In a groggy state, and with my mind absorbed by other things, I walked out into the kitchen, poured a half glass of milk, and proceeded to wash down my pills. The only problem was, I unthinkingly washed down my nighttime pills. !!#*^!%# Drats, now I had some decisions to make, with one of them being, if I have a shower right now, I should be okay, but if I have a shower in twenty minutes to half an hour from now, I could fall asleep in the shower and drown. Oh Dear, decisions-decisions.

FARMERS WERE AGAIN BUSY IN THEIR FIELDS THIS MORNING

THIS GUY IS OBVIOUSLY SPREADING SOME PRETTY SMELLY STUFF

STAGHORN SUMAC IS A FAVORITE OF MINE

To say I had a very lazy and sleepy morning would be putting it mildly. In fact, I fell asleep twice and was only awakened the second time by a ringing phone. It was ContinuIT, the computer shop in Goderich, calling to let me know my laptop computer is fixed. I had taken it in last week after it froze up.

THE AQUA MARINE WATERS OF LAKE HURON WERE A BEAUTIFUL COLOR TODAY

FAMILY DAY AT THE BEACH

THEBEACH STREET STATION WAS A BUSY PLACE TODAY BUT I'M GLAD IT'S NOT ME SITTING THERE IN THE HOT AND HUMID 95F TEMPS

I THOUGHT THIS VW BEETLE LOOKED KINDA GROOVY....HEY, AND IT EVEN HAS A SUNROOF

As readers know, I sleep in my recliner every night because of some kind of problem I've had for a number of years where I can't lay flat, and especially on my side. The big old leather recliner I've been sleeping in for the past decade had reached the point where the springs were shot, and it just wasn't comfortable for me anymore. I switched it out with the big old leather recliner in the sun room but that was even worse. Late last Fall, with Kelly's health failing, she didn't find the new swivel recliner she bought in London, comfortable anymore, so we stopped into Goderich's Re-UseIt store where she found a used recliner that she liked. Her London recliner did't recline very far so it was no good for me to sleep in. I decided last week to try that pre-owned recliner from the ReUseIt store for sleeping in, but it was uncomfortable, and I was bothered by several poor nights of sleep. Today, knowing I had to do something about my recliner problem, I popped into the Brick store in Goderich and test drove a few recliners. I settled on one I liked. Luckily, it had been marked down from $969.00 to $539.00, but there was a problem. Delivery of that model chair would not be until September. There was no way I could wait that long so I asked if I could by the floor model and they said yes. Less than half an hour later I was on my way home with a spanking brand new recliner stuffed into the back of the Subaru. Luckily, the backs always pull off of recliners which makes them easier to deal with. Once home, came the problem of getting it out of the car by myself, transporting it to the house, getting it up the three steps on our back porch, and then getting it through the door into the house. Well, decades ago in a seemingly different life time I had several jobs that involved delivering furniture so I knew this was a job I could do by myself, and did. Tonight will be my first night sleeping in the new recliner so I hope I don't have to start Thursday's post with the words, 'Oh No'!!

Thanks to readers for their comments of help and advice about what to do about my Kindle problem that I had posted about a couple of blogs ago. With it being a cloudy day today, I hope to spend some time inside with my Kindle, trying to resolve the issue.

Two rednecks were given a special intelligence test to meet their admission requirements to the Military Academy. Soon after the test began the first guy turns to the second guy and asks, "Old MacDonald had a what?" The other replies, "He had a farm." The first asks, "How do you spell it?" To which the second replied, "E-I-E-I-O."
