It’s a really nice morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, and the temperature at the time of this post was sitting at 10.5 C | 50.9 F. The warm temperatures should stay with us until next Tuesday. Which will make things pretty nice for our area. Especially if you want to do some outside work. I have a few things to do, but for most parts we are set for winter. Highway 522 is bare and dry with a few cars moving around. At this time of year it is mostly locals going here and there. For my wife and I we don’t go very far these days. Maybe every two weeks or so, we head off to North Bay for some groceries, but that’s about it. If we don’t need to go into stores we don’t. Looking outside things are really nice and green. The grass is as green if not greener than it has been all summer. I also notice a few Robbins chowing down on some worms on our lawn for the past few days. Nice to see, but I am thinking they will be heading south where it is warmer shortly. On another note I have been busy working on some things in the basement along with some work on my podcasts and things. Seems there is a never ending of things to do. The good thing is, they are all things I enjoy doing. Today I will take it a bit easy, as my old back, along with my wife’s back isn’t the greatest these days. So I am thinking we both need some downtime. All work and no play, isn’t always the best, especially when you are getting up there in years. So with that, I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will then let the day do as it wants. Best not to make too many plans. LOL Take care, stay safe and do what’s right when it comes to this virus. It’s the only defence we have at the moment. GW

Good Morning! So how you all doing this morning? Fine I hope. Ruth and I are making out good so fare these days. We have been very busy with a lot of things on our plate going on. All good things though. I didn’t get on here yesterday as our power was out for almost 20 hours. We had to get up at 2:00 AM and drag out our generator and hook it up. I have it set up, so I just flip a switch in the panel box, start the generator, and we are up and running. I don’t have it hooked up to the whole house, just a few things like fridges, freezers, well pump, some lights and things. So we have heat and can cook and things don’t spoil in the freezers and fridge. Works slick. The generator earned its keep yesterday. Seems we have had a lot of outages lately since Hydro One was sold. Strange…. Highway 522 is still busy these days with folks coming in for the hunt. Is it a good thing? Well … all I can say is they are all out in the bush, so they shouldn’t spread the virus around too much. At least you wouldn’t think they would. A lot of my hunter friends are staying home this year not wanting to chance it. I can’t say I blame them. It has been cold here in Port Loring, Canada the past few days. We did have a wee bit of snow. Nothing to write home about. It is supposed to warm up to almost summer weather later on this week and remain with us for a couple of weeks. That will be nice. It could stay that way all winter if I had any say in the matter. LOL On another note I have been quite busy these days getting set up for doing some more podcasts. Just have to bring things together as over summer I forget a lot of things. LOL But it’s coming along. I also have been updating the Blog (Website> Here) I am adding Ruth my lovely wife to it, so she can show off her paintings and some work she has done over the years and what she is doing in the present. Once she gets some time I will start adding things. You will have to take a look see, as she is one fantastic paintings with them over the years being sold all over the world. So … with that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a poached egg with my lovely wife. After that we will see what develops. You just never know. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right when it comes to this virus going around. It is getting worse every day. Not so bad here yet though, which is a good thing. I hope it stays that way. GW
Hard to beat this song
I am thinking it might turn my head too. LOL Enjoy!
Remember When?
No one can sing this song better than. Do I have to tell ya? Enjoy! My lovely wife and me love this song. Our Favourite. Well … one of them. There have been many over the years.
Custom signs
These are a few signs I have done. It gives you an idea of what took place, and what I am capable of doing. For more information regarding these signs, or … maybe one you might like, you can get in touch with me by clicking the following link. >>>>

Ruth’s Gallery
Have a look at all my galleries. Enjoy!
Commission Artwork
Ruth can create a family heirloom commissioned painting featuring your children, relatives or pets. Consider capturing your home, cottage or favourite setting with artistic touches that say much more than a snapshot.
Commissioned paintings can be created from photographs. Natural lighting (sunlight) works best to show true colours. It is preferable to see the subjects and photograph them myself, but if that is not possible, clients may provide me with their own suitable photographs.
Once a suitable material is selected, we would then discuss the best options to represent the subject and create the painting. Because each commissioned piece is unique, prices will vary. Quotes will be based on size, complexity, media and time involved. We can also create note cards and stationery based on the painting.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any question or want a customized painting. Thanks!
Morning Chat for Nov 1/2020
So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. It’s a never ending battle these days with what is taking place in this old world of ours. But … things will get better if we all hang in there for a bit longer. This morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada it is raining, and cool. It pretty well rained all night long, with some strong winds at times. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 5.5 C | 41.9 F. We should be seeing some sunshine tomorrow. Which will be nice. “So … looking out I suspect I will stay in where it’s warm and dry today.” The good news is, we don’t have to shovel it. LOL. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning with a few cars moving up and down the highway. Some probably heading off to church when in my eyes, they should be staying at home. But … it’s their life, not mine. Kind of makes me shake my head … with all we now know about this virus, yet some still think it is nothing to be concerned about. At any rate … such is life. On another note, I was glad to see that most of the parents here in town, kept their kids at home this Halloween, as last night it was very quiet. That is a good thing. For my wife and I we watched a good movie and relaxed. The old saying is: Life is what you make it. And for my wife and I we choose to make it exciting and happy when ever possible. LOL With that … I am off for a bowl of porridge and a cup of fresh perked coffee with my lovely wife. After that, I will be working away here on my computer getting ready to do some more PODCASTS. Again … my thanks to all that has gotten in touch with me saying how much they are enjoying them. Keeps me wanting to make more. Have a great November 1st, stay safe and do what’s right. GW

Morning Chat Oct 31/2020
It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -8.1 C | 17.42 F. It’s the coldest morning so far. But in saying that it will warm up a lot by the middle of the week. I might even be able to wash my car … and if real lucky, maybe put on a coat of wax for winter. That would be nice. We should see lots of sunshine today which will make things nicer. It seems … no matter what the day is, if it is sunny, things roll along a lot better. We also had a very heavy frost last night and everything from the top of the trees, down to the grass is white. But it will melt off now the sun is showing itself. Looks nice though. Highway 522 has been quite busy these days with more hunters coming into our area. The bush must be full! The good news for the deer is, that once that first shot is fired they go into hiding, knowing perfectly well what time of year it is. LOL As I said in other posts, I don’t hunt anymore. I haven’t got the gumption to sit out in the cold wet damp weather anymore. My warm house is more enticing these days. LOL Yesterday I got tied up on some things in our basement, so that is the reason for not doing my morning post. Today I am working on my website or blog, both the same. Making it so my wife can show off her paintings and things she has done over the years. Make sure you take a look when you find time. She is real talented artist. After that, I will then get to work on some new Podcasts. I would like to get another 100 done this winter. That’s my goal for now. Once finished … I will have 200 out there for folks to listen to. Kind of nice. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and I am thinking a poached egg on toast would be nice. I’ll talk real nice to my wife and see what she says. LOL Take care, stay safe, and do what’s right. Things are still very bad out there. Oh! And Happy Halloween! GW

On another note … I would like to once again take a second and thank all those that have sent me Emails, Called and even written me, letting me know that they are enjoying my Podcasts. Makes my day when I get to reading them or hearing from folks. I would also like to thank those that are spreading my Podcasts through the Social Media, as I have many replies coming from there also these days. So with that.

Good Morning Oct 29/2020
Good Morning! So I missed a couple of days here on the Walters Post LOL The reason for that is … our Internet was down for just about two days. Not much we can do about that. You know, I have to admit I never would have thought the internet would become such an important part of one’s life. At any rate, we are up and running this morning and things look to be working fine. It would be nice if they fixed it, so we here in Port Loring get the speeds that we are paying for. LOL Not very likely, but you never know, with all the new people moving into our area. It has been quite cool the past few days, especially through the night. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 1.4 C | 34.52 F which is a bit warmer than the day before. Highway 522 is still busy with hunting season for Deer almost here. It lasts pretty well for the first two weeks of November. If I might suggest … I would recommend anyone other than hunters to stay out of the bush for a few weeks. You just never know nowadays. LOL On another note, my wife and I did go to North Bay for Groceries yesterday. Picked them up, had lunch, and cup of coffee my wife made before we left and came back home. We didn’t get to see our youngest son Karl this time round, as he is now back to work. He was off for most of the summer with this virus. Is he happy about that? Well that remains to be seen. LOL. I am pretty sure he will be okay as the cases in North Bay are still low … but as parents, it is a concern. Our trip to town was great, as it is nice to get out and breath some different air and see different things. We eat our lunch in our car taking in what others are doing. As I said in other posts … it’s called being nosy. LOL We did see that, almost everyone is wearing a mask when going into the stores and some are even wearing them walking around or driving their cars, which in my mind is a good thing. Can’t take too many precautions these days. Today I will do some work here in the house getting ready some more podcasts. I am a bit excited this year to get back to making them, as I have some new ideas for the shows in mind. What would they be? Well … what would be the fun in telling you? You will have to wait and see. LOL With that, I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will then get doing some things. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right, when it comes to this virus that is in our midst. GW
Pretty Cool
I am not too sure if I could make one of these machines in my old woodworking shop. I have to say it is pretty ingenious. Giver a listen.
Good Morning Oct 27/2020
Good Morning! So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Ruth and I are making out okay other than the normal aches and pains caused by the weather and maybe being a touch older. But we are still moving around complaining so things aren’t all that bad. It is a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning with temperatures sitting at -3.1 C | 26.42 F. It’s the coldest morning so far. It will warm up a wee bit as the day progresses but not much. Highway 522 is busy this morning with cars, pick-ups and trucks along with busses taking the kids to school. So in seeing that it seems a lot of folks got out of bed early this morning. For myself and my wife when we wake up we get up. It hasn’t always been that way but where we are at in life now we do what our body lets us do. If anyone says. “It must be nice to sleep in now and then.” We say, “yep it sure is. We earned it too.” LOL. Yesterday we took it easy once again. Both our backs aren’t the greatest so taking it easy for a few days is high up on the lists of things to do. They are getting better slowly. All that outside work getting things ready for winter took a toll on us this year. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and then we will see what takes place for the remainder of the day. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right with this virus. It’s not getting any better. But in saying that the vaccines they are working on are getting closer to being had. Have a great day. It all boils down to how you make it. GW
Not a dry eye in the house
Here is a gal that can sure sing up a storm. I have to admit … I can’t understand a word she says but still … I had to listen to the end, as I am thinking you will. GW
Just for you
I am pretty sure my Cousin John will like this one as I do. LOL The ending might be a bit hard for some to understand. That is if you’re a tea toddler. Anyway’s giver a listen!
Farming Years ago
This is one of my favourite songs. Kenny is a great singer … and that tractor is easy on the eyes too. Enjoy!
Great Video
More folks should be thinking about what this video is saying. Especially today with this virus going around. Buy Canadian Folks when ever it’s possible. My wife and I have been promoting this for all our lives. Some listen but most don’t. But that’s not saying we can’t change, which will be much healthier for us all and along with that, it will give our farmers a reason for getting up in the morning. Give it some thought. All we have to lose is our country if we don’t, which is happening at a very fast rate. GW
What one says
Here is another that got my attention. I wonder how many folks out there has gotten themselves into this predicament from time to time through life. Read On.
Little Johnny watched his daddy’s car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.
Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother. ‘Mummy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane…’ At this point Mummy cut him off and said, ‘Johnny, this is such an interesting story, let’s save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy’s face when you tell it tonight.’
At the dinner table that evening, Mummy asked little Johnny to tell his story.
Johnny started his story, ‘I was at the playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane> a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mummy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was away on the oil rigs.’
Mummy fainted!
Moral:
Sometimes you need to just shut the … up and listen to the whole story before you interrupt!
Sign of the times for us older folks
I kind of think there is a lot of folks out there today that can identify with this feller! Take a listen.
