From the land of the Bluenose.....cancelled an outing for today with Serendipity Steve and the ladies as I had some in town errands that ate up most of the day. Man, standing in line ups sucks big time.
Thoroughly disgusted with the events of the day I arrived home and told Marie It was time to leave and with that we were on our way. Must say by 1400hrs the weather sure had turned for the better as the rain clouds left replaced by a gorgeous sunny day.
After a stop at Tim's we parked at the lowered lake that Navy Davy and I had been hammering with good success. Swinging area was limited as the lake was being refilled. Marie made herself at home on the new stone steps as I swung the Freedom 3 scoffing a small silver ring, a button and a few coins.

Finished quota off at a local park with Marie snapping photos left and right. One photo she took stood out and I told her I would buy this for her if I dug enough up! Not in this life time me son!

Once at our humble abode the best part of the day was delivered!

Even came with a manual...one I haven't read for over 20 years!

Unfortunately I go under the knife tommorrow and won't get a chance for a tad to swing her or the other ones I own.
For the next while I'll be an armchair quarterback watching and reading about you bouys a swinging and cheering youz on. Happy hunting and a special thanks to Randy in Kansas (a.k.a. Hombre) for selling me this finely crafted lean, mean and green machine made by Garrett! Hombre also saved me from shelling out a few bucks to customs by marking repaired detector on the box! <;)
