Good Morning! It’s another warm, muggy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature waking up was sitting at 20.5 C | 68.9 F. It will warm up more as the day progresses, and we could see some more rain. But in saying all that, we might if lucky see some sunshine later on. Speaking about rain, we did have a really nice rain through the night, which was needed as things were very dry. You can almost see a smile on the trees and plants. My vegetable garden is growing leaps and bounds these days. We also have been eating fresh lettuce salads from our garden, which is sure tasty. It’s amazing how fast it grows after a rain. We also have blossoms on our zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and pumpkins. So it won’t be long before we start seeing some other vegetables. Which will be nice. I can’t wait for a tomato sandwich. This year I planted a bunch of low acid tomatoes, thinking they might be a bit easier on the old stomach. We will see how that goes. I had some very old seeds from years ago, and they all grew. Yesterday I worked on my old Stihl Weed Eater which has been giving me some problems. I have had it for over twenty some years and hardly ever had a problem with it. I got a few prices to fix it, and they all wanted almost as much as a new one. LOL So I decided to order a brand-new carb for it complete with a new plug, gas line filter, gas line plug for the tank and a few other things. Total price 30.00 with free delivery. I installed them all, and it runs nice but still not the greatest, but maybe I can touch it up a bit as I use it. I will have to see how that goes. There is always something when it comes to older machinery. The problem is, most of the new things they are making today isn’t worth a damn, being made so cheap. Oh well, what can you do? With that, I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is making, and will then do some work in our new shower house. Take care and stay safe. GW Click on Picture Below to Enlarge.
Yes, you are right. Trudope loves china. I’m ranting also today. Lol. I hope the folks will vote this guy out of powers. Even most or all the medicine are coming from them, yes, it’s cheaper, and I believe the virus came out of there lab, I said it from the beginning. my opinion only. I don’t know if things can get any worst out there. I watch some of the state news it’s crazy out there, I really can’t watch to much of it. I love being in my garden. That’s my therapy. We don’t have CNN, and I’m glad we don’t. Take care. Nancy
Yep, we sure need a change of government, that’s for darn sure. Will it happen? I hope so, but I got my doubts. Seems a lot of Canadians ?? Like the guy. One can only hope.
Not Webber brand, he bought napoleon brand, it’s from China.
Hi Nancy. Talking about Webber, my wife and I buy a lot of their products, actually. They have been in business since 1948, their products have been formulated and produced in British Columbia, Canada. The year I was born, actually. So far, we haven’t had any issues with them. Let’s hope it stays that way. LOL Take care.
Hi George that’s good news. That’s what we should of looked at. Nancy
Hello George, my vegetable garden is doing good also. I’m trying not to buy products from China, I’m not having luck, it seems almost everything is coming from China. I picked up some paper Dixie cups, no frills brand, for got to check. Well guess what made in China, I was so disappointed. My husband bought some kabob metal sticks, he looked all over to get a set from USA or Canada, any place not China. He found some that are webber brand, it said North America, but I looked closer in small print it is made in China. Very sad indeed. Have a wonderful day. Nancy
Hi Nancy. Yep, we also have been trying not to buy anything from China, and your right it is hard to find something that isn’t made in China. The trouble is here in Canada we have been catering to China and other countries for so long it is going to be hard to fix the problem. In saying that we the people are the only ones that is going to do that though … as the Powers That Be sure isn’t going to be of any help. It all boils down to money these days, not what is good for a country. Same as the vaccines, we should have been making these things here in Canada. Have they learned from the Virus? I suspect not. As soon as things quiets down, nothing more will be done or talked about. At least, that is my opinion on the subject. LOL I am happy to hear that you and your husband are trying. Take care of yourself and family. Hot one here today, muggy for most parts. I worked up my vegetable garden this afternoon and now going to need another shower LOL. Have a great day. GW
