It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It is a touch cool though, with the temperature waking up sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. I still have to have my wood stove going in my woodworking shop to keep things warm enough to work. In the house though I have switched over to oil which makes it easier to manage. If it gets too warm outside, the wood heat makes it too warm inside. So it’s an up and down situation every spring. The cold weather this year is hanging in there more than it has been over the past few years. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good. The ice on the lakes and rivers is almost all gone now. If we get a couple more warm days, it will be all gone.

On another note I worked in the shop for a half a day yesterday then after lunch I had to take my car to Kerry’s Booth’s Garage here in town to get some work done on it. There is one thing that you can count on, and that is … as soon as the warranty is finished, things start to break down. We are lucky though to have a feller like Kerry that can fix these things right here in town. He is a great mechanic and a good friend of mine.

Today I will be working on a few items that my lovely wife wants me to make for our gift shop that will be opening at the end of May. She comes up with all kinds of neat things. I make them, she brings them to life with her paintings. We call that … Team Work.

With that, you all take care and stay safe. GW
