History in the making

Here is the 1st Ever McDonald’s, 1948 with the McDonald Brothers standing in front. The year I was born. Hmm, maybe that is why I have enjoyed them Quarter Pounders with Cheese all these years.

Cobblers Bench

Finally finished up the Cobblers Bench I have been working on for the past week. Nice piece and I am sure who ever buys it will enjoy it for years to come.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 12/2022

Coffee Is On, Only Be A Minute!

Good morning!

Well … it’s a cloudy, cool morning waking up here in Port Loring. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 1.5 C | 34.7 F. A touch above freezing. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning, but we could see an inch or two of snow later on in the day. I guess it is that time of year, so I can’t complain too much. Although, I have been liking, the warm weather we have been having for the past month or so. I kind of figure, that with me not being able to move around much for most of the summer, Mother Nature took that into consideration, and decided to give me time to get all my preparations done up beforehand. I appreciate it too.

Yesterday, my wife and I worked outside for most of the day, finishing up some small projects that needed doing before the snow moves into the area. Got lots done, and now I think we are ready for what ever comes our way. I hope so.

This morning I went out and lit the wood stove in the old woodworking shop, so it will be nice and warm in there once I finish my breakfast that my lovely wife is making for me.

Have a great day.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 11/2022

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.

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

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 10/2022

It’s That Time Again. And ……

Good Morning!

It’s a really nice morning here in Port Loring. The sun is shining with the temperature sitting at 13.7 C | 56.66 F. It will warm up even more as the day moves forward. Enjoy it today, as the temperature is going to drop tonight, and we could see a few flakes of the white stuff, waking up tomorrow morning. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which will make travelling good today. There are a few vehicles running up and down the highway this morning. The good news for the hunters is … that the cooler weather, which is going to arrive tomorrow, will get the deer moving around a bit more than they are now.

On another note, I did finish up the Cobblers Bench I have been working on for the last week, and I brought it into our home. Sure looks nice, and later on I will take a couple pictures and share them with you.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my ‘Lovely Wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned.
