Good Morning!

Well it is still quite warm out there waking up, with the temperature sitting at 11.5 C | 52.7 F. Enjoy it today as tomorrow we could see an inch or so of snow. It’s amazing how nice it’s been so far, with all the warm temperatures and all. But once the cold gets settled in, it will stay with us. You know, since we moved here over 20 years ago, we have never had a Christmas without snow. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good.

My wife and I did go to town yesterday to pick up a few things, along with some groceries. It was supposed to be cloudy for the day, but instead the sun came out and stayed with us till we arrived back home. I asked it to be nice before I left, and it did. It’s kind of ironic really, as over the years what ever weather I wanted, or needed to get things done, I got it. My kids used to get so angry, as when we got up it could be raining, and they thought they would get out of doing some work that I had planned. I used to say. “Eat your breakfast, the rain will stop when we are ready to go to work.” And it always did. They say you have to work with the weather, and I suspect that to be true, but in my case the weather worked for me, at least up till now. And I don’t see why it would change.

On another note, we did have a real nice trip yesterday to North Bay and back. We got our groceries and a few other items, dropped off our son some cupcakes my wife made for his birthday, picked up some lunch and ate it in the car; taking in what most of the city slickers were doing. Kind of nice watching people. Speaking of watching people, where ever we went, no one was wearing a mask. I guess nowadays they feel macho or something, thinking they are invincible. I guess that is why the hospitals are full and a lot of people are at home in bed sick. Makes me shake my head knowing, that simply by wearing a mask, most of our colds and flu’s could be avoided. But hey! If they like to be sick, who am I to tell them what they should or should not be doing.

With that, I am off for some Flap-Jacks my lovely wife is making for me, and will then head on out to my woodworking shop to do some work. Work I enjoy, mind ya.

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.

PS. I will post this week’s Podcast later on today … or tomorrow morning.
