Default first 50 coin day of 2008

From the land of the Bluenose.....finally a full day off and all to myself with no housework, errands or joe jobs to be done. Took advantage of it and headed to a small park in town that I thought would be half thawed out and guarded from the wind. Was half right as there were areas in the park that were very soft indeed and some that you would need a jack hammer to get through.


Not many children around even though it is March break but did get a reminder that they were near as are the bouys of summer as this mural in the park depicts.


Well a most pleasant day was drawing to an end so I headed off to Tim's for a java and to roll up the rim. Didn't need my wallet this time as I had dug enough for a large joe. Passing by this place I wish it had been payday but alais tomorrow will come soon enough.


Take for the day was 52 coins @$8.57, 2 cletts, flower earing (not my type) and a button....non military.

50+ coins in one outing is a great day and a lot of work. Bet you sleep well tonight.
