Good Morning.
My old Dad used to say, “George, if your old tractor still runs, don’t go lookin’ for a new one.”
There’s more in them few words than meets the eye.
So we did have a light shower roll through early this morning, and looking west, the sky’s still got that unsettled look to it.
Today – Saturday, May 17:
It’ll stay on the cooler side today, with a high around 62°F (17°C). We’ve got a mix bag of clouds and a few scattered showers through the morning, and it might stay breezy for a bit. This afternoon could offer some breaks of sun, but don’t count on it lasting too long.
Tonight:
Cooling off to around 41°F (5°C) by midnight. Expect more cloud cover and the odd bit of drizzle hanging around. Not a bad night to settle in early.
Tomorrow – Sunday, May 18:
The day starts off chilly and damp. Breezes picking up again early, and we’ll likely see on-and-off rain or drizzle through the morning hours. It’ll stay cloudy most of the day, and the temperature will only climb to about 57°F (14°C), and overnight it could dip all the way down to 33°F (0°C) — cold enough to remind you spring still has a few tricks up its sleeve. Not time to plant your tomatoes just yet.
Highway 522 has picked up traffic wise, with lots of new vehicles moving around.
But Report:
Well, them black flies are now annoying folks, but still not as bad as they are in the bush. Kind of makes one think about what the critters have to put up with.
Garage Sale Update – Port Loring Style
Well, I have to tell you folks — yesterday’s garage sale was a real humdinger. We had cars and trucks lined up along the highway, our driveway and parking lot were full, and even our neighbour’s driveway ended up packed. It was one great day for the sale, and we moved a ton of stuff. And I really mean that.
But don’t worry — we’ve still got plenty more!
As soon as something sells, my wife brings out more from the house.
At any rate: We’re open again today starting at 10 AM and running through until 4 PM.
We’ll be going every day through the month or until everything’s sold, whichever comes first.
So if you missed it yesterday or just want to come back for another look, stop on by — you never know what you’ll find.
With that, I’m off to enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife has made for me. Then I’ll be out putting up the garage sale signs and getting everything set up for the day. Here’s hoping the weather cooperates again — it did what I asked yesterday, so let’s see if it listens again today.
