Good Morning! It’s a foggy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We didn’t have any rain overnight, but it is damp. Our temperature here in town is sitting at 15.8 C | 60.44 F. It will get pretty hot as the day moves forward, and it will remain very warm for the next 4 days. So I would suggest that if you have any outside work to be done, to do it in the early morning hours while it is cool. Once this warm spell is over … in a few days, things will get back to normal, or as some would say seasonal. Highway 522 is still busy, very busy, actually. The busiest store in town is the LCBO, LOL. On another note, even though our small store is closed because of the virus, people are still coming in knocking at our door for flutes, my books and my wife’s paintings. We don’t have things displayed nicely, but we do accommodate most bringing some things to show them outside. Next spring we will have a grand new opening with a lot of new products. Today I am going to finish working on our boat, getting it ready for fishing. I have been working on it now for the past two days. After that, I will be heading out with my good friend Barry (My Fishing Buddy) and see if we can hook on a nice pickerel or two.

Fishing Times: The best times to be out there fishing today will be between 9:00 AM- and 11:00 AM and then a bit later on from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Good Luck and Remember, when it comes to this virus. Masking works, distancing works, washing your hands works, and ventilation in schools homes and business’s work well too. And of course the vaccines, Pfizer or Moderna. All these things will slow the virus from spreading, or for that matter … getting stronger.

Now get out there and catch some fish!!

Good Morning! It’s a great looking day here in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have a brief shower early this morning, but nothing to write home about. The temperature is pretty nice this morning, sitting at 16.6 C | 61.88 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward, and we can expect some very hot weather for the next few days. Highway 522 is still very busy with folks coming in from all over. On another note, we are eating tomatoes these days from our vegetable garden, and I have to tell you … they are sure tasty. You can’t beat organic tomatoes, right from the garden to the plate. I have been eating three or so every day, LOL. We are also enjoying our cucumbers and zucchini. My wife makes us a cucumber sandwich with miracle whip for lunch, along with fresh cut up tomatoes on the side with a piece of old 4-year-old cheddar cheese. A cup of fresh perked coffee afterwards on the front porch finishes things off. Yep, life is rough for my wife and I, LOL. But it didn’t come easy the life we are living now, we worked very hard over the years to get what we have. But all that work paid off, and now we are enjoying the remainder of our days. The thing is, we have to start taking things a bit easier, LOL. This year, my lovely wife and I have gotten more things done than the last two years running. Every year it seems we sit back in the fall wondering how we accomplished so much. Yesterday I took the day and cleaned up my old boat that I haven’t used in two years because of this virus. Got it looking pretty good now. Today I will do some repairs on the boat trailer. I made a runway, so you can walk from the front of the trailer to the back of the trailer, which makes it so much nicer for loading and unloading the boat. It also saves me from getting my feet wet. The planks I was using have seen their day, so I am going to replace them. Then I will see if it runs. I went and picked up some fresh gas yesterday before I quit for the day. Once that is all done, I think some fishing is in order. My fishing buddy Barry called me yesterday wondering if I had my boat ready. I told him I was working on it. We have some good old times out there, the two of us, and along with that we catch fish.

Fishing Times: The best time to be out there today will be 4:30 PM-6:30 PM. I give it a 2-star rating for catching a few. Not the best day, but I am thinking you should be able to have fish for supper. A later supper, that is. With that, take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Another fantastic day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, and the temperature was sitting at 16.7 C | 62.06 F. And by the looks of things we will be having lots of sunshine for most of the day. Actually, it looks like we will be having a good amount of sunshine for the next month or so, with just a chance of rain here and there. Can’t beat that. But hey! We do live in one of the best areas in Canada at the moment. Highway 522 is still busy, which is to be expected at this time of year. Yesterday I decided to take a half a day and weed my vegetable garden as it was sure getting out of control. The reason for that was that we have been so busy we neglected it. But after a bit of work it is back to where it should be. At least we can see our tomatoes now, LOL. I then did some painting on the trim work of our shower house that we built earlier in the year. Today I will be moving some plants to different areas on our property that the wife has been asking me to do for the past month. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store.

Fishing Times: The best times to be fishing today would be between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck! And stay safe. The numbers are rising here in Ontario with this virus as every day goes by.

Good Morning! We are having a trend weather wise here in Port Loring, Ontario these days. The weather has been just about perfect for this time of year. The days have cooled down, lots of sunshine and not too much humidity. What could be better than that? Not much in my books. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at 14 C | 57.2 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. It should also be noted that this nice weather will stay with us for the next few weeks. Which is fine with me, as I am hoping to get my boat cleaned up and the motor running, so we can get out and do some fishing. A nice pickerel dinner would sure be nice for a change. But I will have to see what happens as I haven’t had it running for a couple of years. Should be okay. The fishing so far hasn’t been the greatest with the heat, but they are catching a few. At least that is the word I am getting from some friends of mine. Highway 522 is still very busy these days with lots of campers, you name it, moving from east to west. Yesterday, I finished installing the new boards on the back deck of our home. I will let them dry a bit for a few days, and then I will put a good deck stain over them. In this country you need something to protect the wood, especially on the north side of a home where it doesn’t get much sun. Today I have a bit of staining to do around the facer-board of the shower house we built earlier in the year. My lovely wife decorated the inside yesterday, which brought everything together. It’s pretty nice, for sure. Better than some homes that I have seen over the years, LOL With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Being such a nice day, it would be a shame to waste it doing nothing. Although doing nothing is a bit enticing, LOL. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning. Once again we are having another great day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. There should be no complaints about the weather, at least where I live. Also, a lot of the humidity has left us this morning, which makes it just that much better. Highway 522 is slow this morning, but it is early. Things will pick up, I am sure, later on. The campgrounds are full this year with people coming in from all over. I can’t say I blame them. Actually, they were full before they opened the borders with our own people. Kind of interesting. This is my favourite time of the year. Hardly no bugs to speak of and the weather is usually really nice. And to top that all off … the fishing will start to improve every day now right up until the end of September. I am trying to find time to get my boat cleaned up and running. With all my lovely wife and I have been doing around and in our home, we haven’t found the time. I will see how that goes in the coming days. I haven’t put the boat in the water for almost two years because of this virus. But with the vaccines and the knowledge we now know, I am thinking it should be okay. I will think on it, LOL. Yesterday I worked on my back deck, and today I am hoping I will be able to get the boards all laid down. After that, I will let it climatize a wee bit, and then stain it the colour of our cottage deck I just built. I bought extra at the time because it was on sale. With that I am off for some homemade cranberry pancakes my wife is making me and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. The numbers of infections are rising every day here in Ontario, now that we opened back up. GW
