Good Morning:  And what a beautiful morning it is.  Sun is shinning and the world is looking like it is establishing stability.  Temperatures this morning are sitting at…14 C | 57.2 F.  It will warm up some as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:   Changeable, mending with lots of sunshine.

Bug Report:   Mosquitoes are still in abundance pestering us humans and critters of nature.  The cooler weather though in the mornings have slowed them down some.  Horseflies and Deerflies are slowly entering the picture.  But one seems to adapt with time, to what the elements of our Mother Earth puts forth off and on throughout the year.

Fishing Times:  Well today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there catching them will be from…11:30 AM – 1:00 PM.  Then a bit later from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating for catching them out of 4.  Not the greatest day, but one just never knows really, till he or she puts that bait into the water hidden by a hook of choice.  Good luck.

Around Town:   Quiet for a Sunday morning.  Hardly a car moving up and down Highway 522.  So that tells me tourists haven’t arrived in quantities as of yet and the locals are enjoying life at home.  Kind of what life is all about I would think.  I took a few pictures of our one garden yesterday.  It is growing so nicely with the tomatoes, lettuce & herbs showing off, I figured I would share it with the world.  Eating fresh pesticide and chemical free salads every day.  “NO GMO.” Sometimes twice a day and what flavour they have.  Juicy with a crisp sense of entertainment that enlightens and entices ones mouth with every bite.  What could be better? Tomatoes are out in blossom also, which will bring upon us some succulent treats in the days ahead. You won’t find them in any grocery store, or fast food restaurant, let me tell you.  Only one way to administer them to ones body.  Grow your own, or find some that does.  Ask before buying if they are planting GMO seeds or spraying them with pesticides, and other chemicals such as fungicides.  if so…SAY NO and find someone that does. Click Pictures to enlarge for better viewing.  Also a vase of flowers the wife picked for our table and yours.  Sure smell nice let me tell you.  Nothing can bring more enjoyment into a home that a bouquet of fresh cut flowers.  Entices my nose and spirit, every time I pass them by on entering our home. My lovely wife has a knack at doing these things.  Great lady for sure and I do emphasize lady, which means… A respect for a woman, a title of honour borne by various classes of women of the peerage.   Enjoy your day my friends, soak up some sunshine, eat well and no doctors will be needed.

Good morning. Well cloudy day waking up, with rain most the day yesterday and all through the night. We had 16 mm of rain.  So thinking Mother Natures has served her critters and planet well.  Also giving my gardens a needed drink.   Waking up temperatures were sitting at;  17.1 C | 62.78 F.

Forecast For Today: Changeable, mending with clouds giving way to some sun.  Then the rest of the week is looking good with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures thrown in for good measure.

Bug Report:   Lots of mosquitoes out there annoying folks to say the least.  Come right inside with you when entering the house.  I believe there is nothing worse than having a couple buzzing around ones head in the night while trying to sleep.  You just know what is about to happen.  Plays on a fellows nerves you could say.  Ah well, if that is all I have to worry about, thinking I am  doing quite well.  Just the same wouldn’t hurt my feelings if them suckers moved on to another place in time.

Fishing Times;   Well the old weather stick is saying the best times to be out there today will be from 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM.  Then once again from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4.  Tomorrow things will start to change for the better.  Good luck.

Around Town:  Quiet for most parts but there are a few venturing into new projects I see as driving down the highway.  Few new homes in the area and lots of construction being the norm for our area.   Went to North Bay yesterday do visit my son Karl who works at NORAD.   Had a great evening and supper there in town, with him taking us out for Father’s Day.  Picked up a couple weeks of groceries and headed on back home.  Being late in the evening it was getting dark and you know…. I have to say here that them road signs are a down right pain for blinding folks while driving at night. When the lights hit them it takes your mind off what you should be looking at, blinding you of what lies ahead.  They should tone that reflector paint down a touch in all sincerity. One of these days someone will get in an accident.  It takes ones eyes a bit to recover after passing each one.  The big yellow ones is my meaning, that shows curves and things.  The rest are fine.  At any rate….food for thought you could say.  Have a great day my friends, heading to have a cup of dandelion tea.  Just dug one up and my lovely wife made us a healthy delicious drink.  Free for the taking one could say.  No doctors needed if you know how to look after yourself.  GW

Good morning folks.  Well a bit cloudy this morning.  Some rain is in the forecast with the forecast predicting:  Stormy, much rain throughout the day and into this evening.  Temperatures this morning waking up are sitting at…16 C | 60.8 F.  Will warm up a touch as the day progresses.  For your up to date weather info click the following link…http://www.loringlsb.ca/weather-station/

Bug Report:   Well mosquitoes are out there in full force feeding off us humans and critters of warm blood.   Today they will be in abundance with it being cloudy and rain in the forecast.  Blackflies are pretty much gone but there are some out there nibbling on ones arms and ankles.  Deerflies and Horseflies are also making an appearance pestering folks.  So one just has to persevere I suppose.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from…9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Then again from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. I give it a 3 fish rating for catching them today.  Good luck.

Around Town:   As yesterday, lots of campers heading up and down Highway 522 these days.  Won’t be long now and we will be swarming with folks heading off to their cottages and places of stay.  Great to see them arrive each year and enjoying what nature has to offer..  So my friends you all have a great day.  GW.

Good morning.  Hope all is well with you all on a beautiful Friday Morning.  Sun is shinning with temperatures sitting at…..11.3 C | 52.34 F.  Forecast for this fine day is saying that it will be…Improving as the day progresses.  So can’t beat that.  Also looks like a pretty nice weekend, with a chance of a thunderstorm on Sunday.  Depends how close a system gets that is moving towards us from the USA.

Bug Report:  Have to say the Blackflies were not bad yesterday but that was due to the cooler weather and north winds we had.  Today might be another story. Mosquitoes have picked up some in pestering folks, but still not as bad as last year, at least here at our home.  But on the bright side Fathers Day is closing in and usually not to far after that the Blackflies move on for another year.

Fishing Times:  Today the old weather stick is predicting that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM.  Then a bit later from 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM.  I give it a 2 1/2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck!

Information in and around town: Pretty quiet.  But I have found more folks are opening up their cottages for the season.  Also resorts are gearing up for what is to come.  I kind of thing we will have a good year business wise with the USA moving forward and our dollar on the low side once again.  For some it is good for others it is bad.  I have found it depends on how you make or spend your money.  So my friends, sun is shinning means a great day for soaking up some much needed Vitamin D.  No Doctors Need.  Have a great day.  GW

Morning.  Well had a touch of rain early this morning.  Sun is trying to show herself and will a bit later on in the day.

Temperatures: this morning are sitting at…8.6 C | 47.48 F.

Forecast Today: Rather unsettled clearing later.

Bug Report: Well rain and cooler weather slowed them down from biting a touch, for the last couple days, but they will be out in earnest once the sun starts to shine.  Some say the mosquitoes are quite bad where they live, some say they aren’t half as bad as they were last year.  So thinking it is where one resides that makes the difference.  Here where we live they aren’t too bad at all thus far.  Blackflies are irritable for my wife, but for me they are more of a annoyance than anything else, getting into ones eyes, nose, ears and up the pant legs.  They don’t really bite me.  I have seen folks that come into our store chewed up something fierce though.  I tell them to chew up a piece of plantain and administer it to the bite, which will take away any infection, along with stopping the itch within a minute or two.  Just one more tip that will be in my upcoming health book using nothing but Mother Nature to heal yourself.

Fishing Report:  Well after taking a look at the old weather stick and putting my Grandfathers formula together along side it, it shows that the best times to be out there today, will be from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM.   Then once again from 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Good luck!

Around Town:  Still quiet for most parts.  The Hardware stores are starting to gear up with folks coming in to purchase things.  Lots of repair work that needs to be done after the long winter we have had I suspect.  Others would be? I was talking to Kerry at Booth’s Service Centre and he said he had lots of work on hand which is what is expected when one does good work.  Also Mike down here at the old Shell station is busy, especially this time of year as he stores folks boats wintering them, along with getting them ready to go back into the water come spring. In-between he fixes all kinds of small engines.  Busy fellow to say the least.  My other friend at Arnstein Garage is also busy and very nice to deal with and does great work. With him and Ace Hardware being the only ones that has gas now in our area, I am surmising that they both will be doing a booming business this coming season.  Also don’t forget to drop by Rupert’s Variety Store while In Arnstein as there is no better place to get a few groceries, along with all kinds of other items of choice. Nice folks to deal with too.   There you have it, some great places to shop and get your items of choice fixed.  I will add to the list of places to shop or visit as time goes by as there is plenty more.  So guess that is about it for this morning.  Hope you all have a great day and if possible try and get outside and breath in some of this fresh northern air, that we have in abundance, all for free.   No Doctors Needed.  GW

Good morning. Well a touch cool this morning with temperatures sitting at.                        11.8 C | 53.24 F.  Forecast for today is calling for it be…. Unsettled, probably improving as the day progresses.  Sun is already starting to show itself.  It will warm up a few degrees in a bit.

Bug Report: Still lots of Blackflies and Mosquitoes around to bug a feller.  One just has to admit defeat till nature remedies what it has brought upon us humans.  Lots of birds, and larger insects life’s directly depend on them for food.  We just have to realize that we aren’t the only ones that live here on this old earth.  In saying that, we as humans go by what we see above earth.  But if truth be known that is only a speck of what is really happening.  As below ground is whole new world, alive and carrying out their daily routines just so us above ground can survive.  That is if we leave things alone.  Amazing world we live on and in my friends.

News Around Town:  All is quiet.  Not much traffic to speak of neither.  Good time of year to do your visiting, grocery shopping or what ever before the summer rush of tourists arrive.  We do just that.

Fishing Times:  Well today thinking on what it will be like for catching fish, the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from…9:00 AM – 11:45 AM then once again from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them. Not the greatest day, but it will get better.  Enjoy your day my friends and try and soak up a bit of sunshine.  No Doctors Needed.  GW
