Good Morning! Well, it’s not the greatest day for us here in Port Loring, Ontario. At the moment, we are in the midst of freezing rain. My decks outside are ice covered and I soon found out that I needed a touch of salt put down. As you can see, the temperature is hovering right on the freezing mark … 1.8 C | 35.24 F. There is a warning up for our area pertaining to icy conditions and Highway 522 is becoming slippery, so extra care will be needed if out and about. My advice is to stay home today. Tomorrow will be a better day. Warmer and if lucky we might even see some sunshine. My plan is washing our car tomorrow, with the temperature supposedly reaching as high as 50 Degrees Fahrenheit. I still like the old imperial way of doing things. The only reason they changed things to metric is to fool the people. And looking at things, they are doing a damn good job at swaying folks minds to their way of thinking. I don’t let them bother me much anymore, as well, I have seen it all. But then again, they do occasionally throw in something new that makes me shake my head a bit. LOL Yesterday I started to work in my old woodworking shop, but got side tracked. I had some old lumber and things that I was going to take to the dump, but instead I decided since it was a nice day I would just burn it myself, as I have a real good safe spot to burn things. So I got into doing that, and by the time I was finished the day was over. I did accomplish a lot, which will save me doing it in the spring. So with that I am off for a boiled egg with some fried potatoes and a few slices of fried Polish sausage on the side. My lovely wife looks after me, that’s for sure. You all take care, don’t forget to wash your mask and hands if out and about, and more importantly keep your distance, as this virus is spread by being close to others. The thing that gets me is. That people wear the mask, then they shove them into their pocket, then they take them out and put them back on. In doing so, all the germs that were on the outside of the mask are now all over your hands, face and in your pocket. And I wouldn’t hesitate to say that most never think about washing them. Food for thought. Enjoy your day.
