 Jeepers, Ol' Man Winter just won't let Springtime take a firm hold of the weather!  No snow again, but just unseasonable cool and rainy days.

Tuesday I paid off the credit card, then turned around and ordered more "stuff" from Amazon, mostly at the request of my lovely wife for certain ball caps saying "Canada"....  What can I say, she loves Canada gear....

Wednesday and Thursday I whiled away the days working on photos until I updated my Smart Photo Editor which lost me a day because they need to reactivate my "token".  

Thursday, I cut all my hair for summer, if it ever gets here....

Then I decided I had better activate the Regal that has been sitting for at least a month...  I drove to where the gas is cheapest normally and was rewarded with $1.41.9/Litre....  Still expensive....

Then I decided to take it to Hughes and vacuum and wash and wax my beautiful car that still purrs like a kitten!!

And, on the way by, I bought more "stuff" at Dollarama too..!!

And, because The Common, a block away, has a $12.99 special on Fish'n'Chips, I went back there and had another great meal....

Today, the Library had both Kathy Reichs books I had ordered, so I dressed warmly, jumped on the Gio and returned one book in the process.  It was very difficult not reading for 2 days, but then we have the Stanley Cup playoffs, the World Cup of soccer, and umpteen movies saved for such eventualities....

I got roped into agreeing to take wedding photos at the end of the month...  Sheesh, I haven't done a wedding in many years, and tried to beg off,  BUT.... It is for the secretary in the office who does favors for me because I have already done 3 photo sessions on her behalf.  And, she claims that her nephew just wants better pictures than taken with a cel phone...   I hope that I can do that... cel phones are pretty darn good.... so you know I will spend many hours to get good results....

 And another lady in the building just stopped by to get a photo enhanced for enlargement of her nephew...  It took some finagling on my laptop in PhotoShop, then in Artspace.ai to get a superb finished product..  I know she will be pleased.  I had done the same a few months back for a photo of her sister..

This Googler Blogger program is getting very frustrating with its silly glitches now... 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
