Good Morning:  Well beauty of a day here in Port Loring.  A touch cool waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at 6.8 C | 44.24 F.  But will warm up considerably in a bit.

Forecast For Today: Fairly fine, improving as the day moves forward.  Lots of sunshine today.

Bug Report:  Lots of Blackflies out there these days more entering into the picture each day.  If they bit pick a plantain leaf and rub it on the wound.  Will help with the itch immensly.

Highway Report:  HIghway 522 is bare and dry throughout and travelling should be good.

FIshing Report:  This morning the old weather stick is sayng that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then once again a bit later on in the afternoon from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Not the greatest day for pulling them in.  Winds this morning are calm coming in from the North East.

Around Town:  Very quiet day here this morning.  Folks sleeping in or heading off to town.  Seems to be the trend thiese days. Myself, I will be piling some firewood for next winter.   Then will get into getting my veggetable gardens done up for the year.  Will pick up some plants and things next weekend.  I sure enjoy the outdoors, nothing can be more pleasing than to take in what Mother Nature has to offer.  She is a true being to be studied and enjoyed.  With that enjoy your day, soak up some of that sunshine, it is what the body needs to maintain a good healthy state.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
