It’s a rainy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The rain will bring things along like the grass, trees, and flowers. It is nice watching things wake up after a long winters sleep. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning and quiet. Through the day we are seeing a few new people moving into the area. The virus is still pretty bad here in town, with a lot of people being sick.

Yesterday, my wife and I got our outside shower house all set up for summer. I still have to hook up the water to the cottage, but I can do that when a nicer day is upon us. The gas prices are still very high, sitting around the $2.00 a Litre mark in North Bay, some places are a touch lower. On the reserve, they are sitting at around $1:72 a Litre. And I suspect it will remain high with summer entering into the picture, The Powers That Be likes to capitalize on everyone enjoying their holidays. The thing is, there is no reason for it to be so high here in Canada, where we have more natural resources than most other countries. What we need to be doing is building our own refineries, so we can be more self efficient. At the moment, we let the USA refine our oil, along with a few other countries. It’s no wonder other countries look at us as a joke. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Anyway that is my rant for this rainy morning Ha Ha.

Today I will be working away in my woodworking shop on some more one of a kind items for our gift shop that we hope will be opening at the end of May. We will see how this virus is doing here in town when the time comes. I did light the wood stove this morning to take out the dampness and warm the shop up a bit. Makes things nicer. No black flies as yet. So with that, I am off for a boiled egg and a piece of toast that my lovely wife is making for me. Stay safe. GW
