Good morning. You know, I’ve carried my share of regrets, such as moments I failed to appreciate and chances I let slip, but never once have I regretted the life I chose. That road was mine, crooked as it was, and I would walk it again.

So, it is a bit cloudy out there this morning, and we did get some much-needed rain through the night. That said, I’m hoping we’ll see at least a little bit of sunshine today.

Here is our weather for Port Loring, Ontario, Canada:

Today (Sept 26): Mostly cloudy, with a chance of a passing shower. High around 18 °C (64 °F).
Tonight: Cooler, with temperatures dropping to about 6 °C (43 °F).
Tomorrow (Sept 27): Breezy, with a mix of sun and cloud. High near 22 °C (71 °F), low around 10 °C (50 °F).

Highway 522 saw quite a bit of traffic yesterday, with lots of trucks and cars pulling boats, ATV s, and just about everything else. The reason is that many hunters and fishermen are taking advantage of our nice weather. Truth be told, this is about the best time of year to be in our neck of the woods. The leaves are turning color, there are no bugs, and the solitude people seek can only be found in areas like ours.

On another note, yesterday I managed to finish my new desktop. I put three coats of urethane on it and let it dry in the old woodworking shop overnight. I have to say, it sure looks nice—you could call it a one-of-a-kind desk. After that, I worked a bit in our gardens, cleaning out things that are done for the year. Once that was finished, my wife and I took advantage of some sunshine that decided to show itself on our front porch. All in all, in spite of not feeling up to par, it was a good day.

So what are you up to today GW?

Well, today, now that I’ve finally finished the desktop, I’ll be carrying it into its new home and setting things in order. But first, I have to deal with the few wires under the desk. My son told me to tag each one so I’ll know where they go. Makes sense—otherwise, I’ll end up pulling my hair out later. I’ve always said, learn from the past and move on, though in this case, I “learn the hard way first.”

After that, I’ll lend a hand to my wife. She’s been out there working harder than most men I’ve known, putting our flower gardens to bed for the winter. Timing is everything with those gardens. Miss the window and you’ll be paying for it twice over come spring. She never misses.

With that, I’m off to enjoy the breakfast my lovely wife has made. She’s worked hard all morning, and I get to reap the rewards. After that, I’ll see what the day has in store. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll stay one step ahead of those wires.

Until next time: Keep Your Minds Open & Your Stories Alive.
