Our Home Is Not For Sale!

I would also like to mention here this morning … That our home IS NOT FOR SALE. What happened was:. Some outfit in Spain has it on their website saying it is for sale, with pictures and everything, when it isn’t and there is no way we can get them to take it down without paying them, and you know as well as I do … that paying them isn’t the answer. I tried everything but they won’t do it.

They say it takes all kinds in this world of ours. I say this is one kind that we can do without. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you would spread the word. Ruth and I are very happy right where we are. Thanks and have a great day. GW

Randy Booth

First off, this morning, Ruth and I were so sad Io hear, that we lost a very good friend the other day. Randy Booth. He was a great man. I got to know Randy through his brother Kerry, and over the years we became friends with the family. I hunted with him and enjoyed his humour when ever we got together. There wasn’t a year that went by that he didn’t drop by our home for a visit, where we shared some memories, experiences and laughter. He was a one of a kind guy. Our condolences go out to all the Booth family.

What’s Happening on January 29/2022

Good Morning! It’s a darn cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. So cold, the icicles have packed up and moved out of town. Can’t say I blame them, neither. Ha Ha. However, the sun is shinning, which I suppose is something to be desired. Highway 522 is snow and ice covered from one end to the other, so care will have to be taken. But other than the cold, travelling should be pretty good if you take it easy.

Being so cold, I had to get up a few times through the night to put a bit of extra wood in our wood furnace. While up, I took some temperature readings, which went something like this.

-29.9 C | -21.82 F 12:28 AM
-31.7 C | -25.06 F 2:14 AM
-34 C | -29.2 F 5:40 AM
-34.5 C | -30.1 F 6:21 AM
-34.8 C | -30.64 F 8:16 AM

So as you can see, it got cold and stayed cold all night long, and it’s still darn cold out there now. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. Tonight shouldn’t be as cold, but it will be cold enough.

The oil and gas companies are loving this weather. It never ceases to amaze me, that we here in Canada have more natural resource’s, like oil, gas and things, and we here in Canada pay the most money for it. You would think they would give us a break from all these high prices. If they did that, this country would move ahead leaps and bounds. But if they did that, they wouldn’t be able to collect trillions of dollars in tax money, so they can give it away. And they aren’t giving the money away to the working man, or woman that are paying all these taxes, that’s for damn sure.

Have a great day, stay safe and dress warm, if out and about. GW

Contributors wanted!

Just a note to let you know, that I am looking for contributors, writers or what ever to help me out here at my Blog. If anyone is interested, drop me a line at [email protected]

For years, I have done it all on my own, but with my columns in newspapers and magazines, along with my podcasts, and this blog, it is becoming to be a bit much. Not that I am complaining, as I enjoy writing and sharing different things with you. I just thought it would be nice to have a few others share their views, pictures, advice or what ever. Which, I am sure, would make the Blog, that much more interesting.

You know, years ago I had a Woodworking group called the “Old Craftsman“. I started it, so woodworkers of all ages, be it professionals or wannabee’s, could come and share their ideas and learn. I didn’t know what to expect, but within one year I had over 500 Members in the group. They posted pictures of things they made, and shared their knowledge freely. I also made some great friends.

So that is what I would like to do here at my Blog. It would be a place that you can share your ideas or ask for advice.

I don’t want the Blog to be about just one topic, neither. I would like people to talk about all kinds of things. Be it writing, becoming a columnist, farming, gardening, natural health related issues, nature, country living, doesn’t matter, the more, the merrier. Pictures would also be a nice touch, as the old saying goes … “A Picture is worth a thousand words.” And one last thing. You don’t have to post on a daily basis, it will be up to you. No pressure. And, I am also open to new ideas that you might have on improving the Blog.

I should also mention that I use WordPress for my Blog, it’s a very easy platform to work with. Anyway, give it some thought, and if you’re interested let me know, and I will add you as a Moderator. Once that is done, you can pretty well do anything you want. George Walters

Entertainment

If asked, I would say the best TV Series out there at the moment, is called Yellowstone. Every show keeps you wanting more. Another would be The Ranch. I enjoyed it too. But forewarned, the actors use a few choice words. Ha Ha.
