Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cool day here in Port Loring, Ontario, We are also getting some rain. Along with that, the temperature has dropped substantially, with it sitting at 9.3 C | 48.74 F. In spite of how it looks, it is possible that we could see a glimpse of the sun later on. Yesterday we got some really heavy rain and there are warnings up for some more today saying:

Significant rainfall expected through Thursday morning.
Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue through Wednesday before moving out Thursday.
Rainfall amounts of 50 to 75 mm are expected by early Thursday morning, with a few localities possibly reaching up to 100 mm.

That’s a lot of rain if we get it. Yesterday I worked a wee bit in my woodworking shop and probably will be doing the same today since it is so wet outside. I have a lot of cleaning to do, getting things ready to go into woodworking mode this winter, LOL. We still have to clean out our vegetable gardens and then put my rototiller to work. I fixed it last winter and then again this spring, so I am hoping it works okay. Always something to play on a fellers mind. With that, I am off for some bacon and eggs this morning for a change. Every so often I get a craving for them. I am a firm believer that cravings are a sign of what the body needs, as long as we don’t go overboard with it. But then again, my old Dad used to say. “Fill your needs, George, not your wants.” Hmm … Take care, stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Well, if you can get past the rain, the best times to be out there today with pole in hand will be between 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM, and then again from 6:20 PM – 8:00 PM. I give it a 4-star rating out of 5 for catching a few. But I don’t think it would be wise to be out there today. But if you do, good luck!

Good Morning. So the election is over. Am I upset? LOL. Well, I will say this. I am upset to the extent that this election didn’t accomplish one thing. The Liberals are no further ahead than they were before the election. I guess I should say, that it did accomplish one thing. As it did take millions of dollars out of the working man’s pockets. Hard-earned money, that could have gone elsewhere to help get this country back on their feet. Kind of makes me sick to even look at their smug faces, knowing what they did, do and are going to do. But there isn’t much we can do about it, other than carry on, and live one’s life to the fullest in spite of these idiots. That’s my feelings on the subject. Moving along, the weather has sure changed from yesterday. It is cloudy, windy, and we could be in for some heavy rain for the next few days, as the seasons change. All this … will bring in some cooler weather. Makes me happy I brought in my firewood when I did. Once again working with nature as I have always done has paid off. Highway 522 has slowed down once again with a lot of campers leaving our area and heading back to the big cities. I am sure glad we live where we do, open spaces, fresh air and room to move. At least for now, as folks are moving into our area a lot these days. Is it a good thing? Well, my option on that subject I will keep to myself. But I think some know what that opinion is. LOL. At least those that know me. On another note, my lovely wife and I decided to go fishing yesterday, as it was going to be the best day of the year for catching a few, along with the weather being nice and warm with hardly no wind to speak of. It started off well. I got the bait from Reg here in town, hooked up the boat, my wife made us a coffee and lunch, and we were off. Put the boat in the water, went to start it, nothing, motor wouldn’t turn over. I then thought the battery must not be up to par, but I did charge it before I left. So decided to take it out and taking it home to put it on the charger once again, leaving the wife to watch things. I got home checked it out, and it was up to 90%, so the battery was good. Took it back, tried it again, nothing. So nothing else to do but load the boat back on the trailer and go home and get it fixed. That should have been it, but nope it wasn’t. On the way home, I looked out the rearview mirror and seen smoke. Stopped the car and found the wheel bearing on the right side of the trailer was shot. So my wife and I pushed the tire back in place away from the fender which it was rubbing on, causing the smoke, and drove very slow. Luckily, we managed to get it to my friend Kerry’s garage. There it sets. So … not a good day for us yesterday, but at least we manage to get the boat out of the water and then get it to where it can be fixed. Today I am going to clean up my shop once again, and then we will see what else develops. You just never know. Take care and be safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM and then again from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Again it will be a fantastic day for fishing, that is if you can get by with the rain and wind. So it’s a great day for fishing, but not a great day weather wise. I give it a 5-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. And if you do get out, make sure you dress accordingly. And don’t forget, things get a might slippery when it rains. Especially around the boat docks and getting in and out of the boat. But you all know that, right? Good Luck.
