HEY THERE'S LITTLE RED GETTING CORNED AGAIN |
For a third morning in a row Pheebs and I nearly had to put our water wings on. Rain, rain, and more rain as we followed Kelly in her 04 Pontiac Sunfire to the Bayfield Garage. Brakes, (rotors, pads, calipers and drums machined) oil change, and two new front tires sure tore a big chunk out of a thousand dollar bill later in the day. We can't complain though, we've had that car for 6 years and it has hardly cost us a penny......well until today that is. Geeezzzz, I remember when you could get all that done for under a hundred bucks...…..

WILLOW TREES ARE ANXIOUS TO GET ON WITH SOME WARMER SPRING DAYS |
Dropping Kelly off at home Boogs and I headed back into and through Bayfield. Knowing we couldn't stay on mud free paved roads forever we mucked ourselves up real good for the next hour or so on a few gravely back roads. Pheebs insisted on having her window down so sometimes, depending on our direction of travel, it was raining right inside the Jeep. When Pheebs wants her window down she will put her paw on the glass, turn her head and give me.....'the look'.

Home again it turned into an inside day due to the steady rain drizzle and cold air. Spent a fair bit of time in my recliner reading. I'm still staying away from American television news channels except for occasionally turning on Canada's CBC and CTV to see what is happening with Covid-19 closer to home here.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two rednecks are walking down different ends of a street toward each other, and one is carrying a sack. When they meet, one says, "Hey Tommy Ray, what'cha got in th' bag?" "Jus' some chickens." "If I guesses how many they are, can I have one?" "Shoot, ya guesses right and I'll give you both of them." "OK. Umm... five?"

Five year old Little Johnny was lost, so he went up to a policeman and said, "I've lost my dad!" The policeman said, "What's he like?" Little Johnny replied, "Beer and women!"

An old fisherman wrote to a mail order house the following: "Please send me one of those gasoline engines for my boat that you show on page 438, and if it's any good, I'll send you a check." In a short time, he received the following reply: "Please send check. If it's any good, we'll send the engine." ===========================
