Podcast For Nov 4/2022
Hi folks, this week’s podcast will be delayed for a few days, as I am not up to putting it together at the moment. But be assured, I will post it within a few days. Stay Safe. GW
What’s Happening in and around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 4/2022
Starting things off, we are still in the midst of having summer weather. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 11.6 C | 52.88 F, and it will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. We will also see a lot of sunshine throughout the day. By the looks of things, this nice warm weather will remain with us for another week. Can’t beat that for this time of year. After that though, things will start to change.
On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday, laid down most of the day trying to heal up what I hurt the day before. It is still bugging me this morning, but I am able to walk around some. So knowing that, I did light the wood stove in my shop to warm things up a bit. Once it is warm in there, I will let it go out, as I won’t be needing it with the temperatures rising. And I am not sure how much I will be able to do anyway. We will see. Life is a dilemma at times.
Other than that, not much happening in our small town. Other than the hunters roaming around in the bushes. It’s not like it used to be, that’s for sure. Years ago, everyone knew where everyone was in the bush. Today, well … you take your chances.
In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well.

Good Morning!
It looks like another nice sunny day is shaping up for us in Port Loring. The sun is almost out of bed, as I am typing away here on my computer. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. There are a lot of trucks moving up and down the highway this morning. Lots of construction going on these days with new homes being built. Sign of the times, they say. Some people like it, some don’t.
On another note, I did light my woodworking shop stove yesterday, but decided to do some outside work in the bush by our home. Since it was a nice day. But in doing so, the issues I was having all summer started to come back, so I had to go lay down. It’s still bothering me this morning, so … I guess I will be laid up for a few days. I hope I didn’t mess it up like it was before, as I was just beginning to feel really good too. I have to learn, my limits and quit before things gets out of hand.
With that I am off for my breakfast and will then go and lay down for a bit.

New Electric Car Issues
A lot of folks are now thinking of buying an electric vehicle these days. Personally, I think this is a bad decision, as if you took a close look at all that goes into making these cars, you would soon see that the material they require and how they have to go about getting these materials, is also going to pollute and hurt our environment. Maybe more so than our fossil fuels that we are using today. Not to forget all the cost it will take to switch over. And then … where are we going to get all the electricity to keep them charged up.
What I believe should be done is make our fossil fuels safe to use, and go with that. We have lots and if we did that our country would become more self-reliant than ever before … that is the fix for our country. Becoming self-reliant instead of relying on others.

Good Morning!
It’s a cloudy morning starting things off, but the sun will make its way into our area in a bit. Which will make it another nice day. It was so nice and warm yesterday that my wife and I quit early and sat outside, taking in the sunshine. It sure felt good, let me tell you. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which once again will make travelling good.
On another note, I worked steadily in my old woodworking shop all day yesterday, at least till front porch sittin’ entered into my mind. Today I will do the same. Other than that, not much happening in and around our small town. Well … deer season is closing in us, and there are lots of strangers roaming around the woods these days. So knowing that, care should be taken if out and about. And never go out into the bush without wearing a fluorescent orange coat. In doing so, you won’t be mistaken for a deer. Pays to be cautious these days, as the old hunters that once were, are far and in-between. Today we have a mixed breed out there, and as much as I hate to say it, a lot shouldn’t be carrying a gun. My opinion only.
With that I am off for my morning bowl of porridge and will then see what the day has in store.

Here it is November first. Man, time sure flies by, let me tell ya. One minute we are in the midst of summer and the next we are closing in on Winter. But you wouldn’t know it weatherwise.
Starting things off, we are in the midst of some clouds here in Port Loring. We also had a light shower earlier this morning. The temperature is still warm this morning, with it sitting at 8.6 C | 47.48 F. It will warm up more as the day moves forward. And we should also see some sunshine a bit later on. Can’t beat that for this time of year. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good. For my wife and I we have all we need for a few weeks, so we will be staying put.
On another note, I worked in my woodworking shop all day yesterday on the Cobblers Bench I am making. Today will be doing the same. It’s nice to be able to do these things. To me, there is nothing nicer than to take a few pieces of old used lumber and make it into something beautiful that will last for years.
With that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife is preparing for me and will then get to work.
