Today’s Special
Cobblers Bench
Well, I said I would let you see the Cobblers Bench that I have been working on, when I finished it. We old Woodworker’s called items like this … Early American Country Furniture. What a lot of woodworkers don’t know is. That, Early American Country Furniture, means … A product with more than one use! Now you know.
I just finished staining it Early American a few minutes ago and tomorrow I will put on three coats of the finish
Should look real nice when all said and done!
I will take another picture when it is all finished.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 7/2022
Starting things off, I am a bit late with my posting here today. Reason being I got up late, and then got busy on some other projects and completely forgot. Weather wise it is a touch cooler today with the temperature sitting at 7.9 C | 46.22 F. It won’t warm up any more than it is now. The good news is we are having some sunshine shinning down upon us, which sort of makes it feel somewhat warmer than it is. Highway 522 is bare and dry today, which is good for travelling. And living where we do, travelling is something we all have to do at one time or another. That is, if you’re in need of some groceries and things. Although, there are a few things that you can buy here in town that would hold you over if need be.
Yesterday I didn’t do all that much. I couldn’t work in my old woodworking shop as the power was out all night and most of the morning. But I did however do some work in our basement that needed attending. Which looked after most of the day.
Today I was on the phone most of the morning, updating a few licences and things. I think I sat waiting for over an hour before I got a human being to talk to. Even then it was a challenge. They say doing things online is easier, but I am not sure about that. I did however get things looked after. I think!
With that, I am off for a salmon sandwich that my lovely wife is preparing for me, along with a cup or two of fresh coffee.

Good morning
Well, starting things off, we here in Port Loring have no power. The power went out around 11:30 PM last night and is still out at the time of this post here on my Blog. I checked Hydro One, and they are saying that they are assessing the problem, not knowing the problem as yet. So I suspect it will be out for a while yet. But you never know. So, hearing that, I managed to drag out our Generator from my shop and got it running. So it should keep our freezers from thawing and our fridge cold. We will also be able to warm up the house as I have it hooked up, so our oil and wood furnace will run. And we have water, so we are all set. And the best part is I won’t miss our morning coffee.
Moving along highway 522 is and has been real busy with a lot of hunters moving into our area. Deer season with rifles starts tomorrow for two weeks. So our small town will be busy for a while.
Today I will be playing around here in the house, at least till the power comes back on. The good part is it isn’t that cold outside, with the temperature sitting at 18 C | 64.4 F.
With that I am off for my morning bowl of porridge that my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what develops.
In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.

And other than a few clouds, it surely is a good morning. The temperature waking up is still quite warm, sitting at 16.7 C | 62.06 F. And it will warm up even more as the day moves forward. We should also be seeing a bit of sunshine later on, too. Which will put front porch sittin’ on our list of things to do today. We try and take advantage of all the sun that is shinning down on us this time of year. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning, caused by the heavy rain we had through the night. And I have to tell those that don’t live here, it rained. But in doing so, it lulled me to sleep last night.
On another note, I did manage to put in a full day’s work yesterday in the woodworking shop. Got lots done on the one of a kind Cobblers Bench I am working on. I should about finish it today other than the staining. I will take a picture later on today and post it here on my blog for all to have a look at. Let me know what you think.
I also went out to light the shop stove this morning but being so warm decided against it. Actually I worked with my shop door open all day yesterday which sure was nice.
With that I am off for a bowl of Porridge that my lovely wife is making for me and will then get to work.
Oh, and this week’s Podcast will be live on here at 9:30 AM this morning. I felt up to adding it this morning.
Update on the weather here this morning: Strong south to southwesterly winds, with gusts to 70 to 80 km/h.
An isolated gust to 90 km/h is possible. Or 55 MPH!

But … for those that needs a bit of help on setting your clocks back this year, maybe this picture below might be of some help.
