Looking boo-ti-ful, Perry. Are those ear plugs or speakers you've got on?

My wife thinks I have ear plugs in all the time time. Whenever she asks, I just say, "Huh?"

Cheers,

Those are silicone molded earplugs that followed me home from work when I retired.

It was hot today, about 85F, so hot that it made sense to drive 45 miles to and from Tim Hortons in Camrose for an Ice Capp, and get some wind through my hair.
Any excuse to drive the 7 :D Sometimes we drive to get bugs on the grill and windshield so we can wash it and drive it again :rofl:

Took another vacation to break up retirement. Back to the Rocky Mountains. We just love carving the winding pavement through the rock piles. This time there was very much smoke from the fires in British Columbia. Mountain visibility was poor, but the driving was priceless. Some pics.

What is behind us is not before us! (C'mon guys you know what movie that was from! But I didn't tear off the rear view mirror)

Getting' some wind through the stash, but if you look closely, you will see the smokey ghost mountains in the back ground.
