Here is a picture of an old gas pump we came upon, on one of our trips through the US of A. They are getting harder and harder to find nowadays. More memories.

65 Ford Mustang
Here are a few pictures of a Ford Mustang that belongs to a friend of ours in Florida. We went out to lunch with them and while there snapped a few pictures of their car. Brings back memories.

New Licence Frames
I picked up a couple frames for our car licence plates, awhile back. The front one is for my lovely wife and the rear one is for me. Kind of fitting I thought.
Morning Report Aug. 27/19
We are waking up to some showers here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures are sitting at 16.7 C | 62.06 F. Things will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. But not as warm as it was yesterday. The rain will continue off and on for most of the day and into tonight. We are sure in need of a good rain as things are really dry. Nature looks after its own at her time, not ours. Today I will do some writing, I have some ideas for a couple stories. That should keep me busy for most the day. With that I am off for a cup of coffee and some breakfast. Pancakes is on the menu this morning.

Today fishing won’t be the best with the rain. But things will pick up in a day or so. Winds are coming in from the south which is a good thing. I give it a 2-Star rating out of 5 for catching a few. If you do head out in this rain, be careful as things tend to get a bit slippery. Good Luck!

It sure is nice getting up to days like this. The sun is shinning, a light breeze and really nice temperatures. Makes a fellow feel alive and wanting to do things outside. If nothing else, but sit on the front porch and breath in the fresh air and take in what Nature has to offer. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 16 C | 60.8 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. Tonight and into tomorrow we should see some much-needed rain. It’s so dry the cows in our area are giving powdered milk. Today I think I will clean up my messy shop. Never ceases to amaze me just how messy I can be. Meaning, not putting things back in their place. But that is why I get so much done I am thinking. The good part is that no matter what I am looking for I seem to know exactly where things are. Amazing. With that I am off for a bite to eat and maybe a cup of coffee. Have a good one.

Once again it won’t be the greatest day for fishing. We need the winds to switch from the S West to the West. When that happens things will improve. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. One last thing. If you have any pictures of your catch send them along and I will post them. In Closing, I would like to wish you well.
It’s that time of year
Well … with the cold weather in mind I decided to split a bit of wood which I cut a few months ago. Should make for some good burning when them cold days of winter arrives. Most of what I am splitting is pine, not the greatest, but really nice for the fall and spring. Also, the pine saves my hardwood for the cold days. I have to admit, I hate to even think of what lies ahead, but one does, have to prepare.
Lunch
So thinking a bite to eat is warranted. Salmon lettuce sandwiches and a bowl of home made tomato basil soup, all from our own vegetable garden. On another note, I managed to get our car washed this morning, and wiped down. After lunch, I will put a coat of wax on the old feller. Sure is a nice day for it.
Harvest Table
Here is a harvest table I made for a customer out of white pine. I turned the legs, then stained it with one coat of Early American and one coat of Golden Oak. Then topped it off with three coats of Oil Urethane. A piece like this will last a lifetime. Happy customer. They used to be a great seller. Today most folks want the modern look.
Woodworking Shop
Here is a picture of my old woodworking shop I had years ago. It was kind of a sad day, as it was torn down making room for a new subdivision. But … like everything in life, things have a way of ending, in spite of what we humans think we can do.

What can I say? Other than another great looking day. Temperatures did get a wee bit cooler last night. But it is a sign of what lies ahead. Waking up they were sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F. Nice day to do just about anything a person wants to do. Winds are light coming in from the North East. Today I will do some front porch sitting with my lovely wife for a bit, then maybe I will see about washing the car. If the urge keeps on going, I might even put a coat of wax on the old feller. My wife named our car, Chase. Actually years ago most farmers named their implements, tractors and of course their horses. Just a natural thing to do. Today they kind of frown at you. To each, their own, I say. With that I am off for my morning coffee and will see what the day has in store for me on her terms. A person can make plans, but you can’t plan the results. Old wisdom, my Dad used to say. Have a great day.

Today fishing will be so, so. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. If the winds shift from the east things will improve. Good Luck! Stay Safe.
My Old Homestead
Here is a picture showing the home where I was raised in many years ago. A bit neglected now and the barn was destroyed by a bad storm. I was located in Coldwater Ontario. They built a smaller one in its place. The Potters, Reg and Laura, adopted me, and I stayed with them till I was around 15. The nicest folks you would ever want to meet. Some have asked for a picture, so here it is. It is a bit blurred with light, but still visible to see. GW

Another beauty of a day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, not to hot, what could be better? Not much in my books. Temperatures at the moment are sitting at 20.7 C | 69.26 F. Today I have some outside work to do around the house here and then will either get back to my Flute Making or … maybe write up a story or two. With that I am off for a coffee with my lovely wife on the front porch, and will let the day unfold around me. This front porch sittin’ takes a lot out of a feller.

Today fishing won’t be the greatest, but no reason not to be out lurking around some Lilly pads. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck, and Stay Safe.
