Information For Port Loring August 16/2015

Good Morning:  Nice looking day out there.  Temperatures getting out of bed were sitting at 18.6 C | 65.48 F.

Forecast For Sunday: Very warm with a bit of rain possible for later on today or into tonight. Could see a thunderstorm tomorrow.  Heat brings on all kinds of weather.  One just really never knows.

Bug Report:  Few Mosquitoes entering into the picture along with some deerflies.  But not so bad that one can’t enjoy the outdoors.  Quite nice actually.

Highway Report: We do have a few day trippers going by these days. Most cottagers are here for the summer with their minds leaning towards fall.  One thing that we do have lots of is scenery, especially when the leaves start to turn colour.  Highway 522 is a bounty of beauty.  Travelling today will be good to go anywhere.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there will be from 3:30 PM – 8:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few. Not the greatest day. But one never knows, find the right spot where they are at and your stringer is full.  Winds this morning are calm coming in from the South.  Good Luck!

Around Town.  Well seasons are about to change, The First Day of Autumn  will fall on a Wednesday, September 23 this year.  Not too far off.  Hard to even think of winter moving in with these temperatures we been having.  But thinking on things is what needs to be done so we are ready for what’s to come.  Today I will just take things easy being that it is going to be so hot.  On another note the tomatoes are sure quite tasty this summer.  I been eating them every day.  Good to eat them fresh out of the garden.  Good for you too. With that heading off for my morning tea and do some front porch sitting. Enjoy your day and……..make it a good day, one to remember.  Inquiries:  [email protected]

Good Morning:  Was a sticky night last night for sleeping.  Unless you had air-conditioning.  For myself air bothers my sinus’s some but it is a lot better than sleeping on damp sheets.  The other downsize is the cost to run the darn things.  Technology today has helped in many ways, but the powers that be are holding us back with the costs to run things.  No reason for it neither.  Any ways, waking temperatures were sitting at 17.4 C | 63.32 F.  Will warm up considerably in a couple hours.

Forecast For Today:  Rather unsettled clearing later.  For the next three days hot temperatures will be upon us.

Bug Report:  Just a few mosquitoes here and there but not so bad one can’t enjoy the outdoors.  Few spiders making an appearance this year. Actually quite pronounced in some areas.  Sign of a cold winter my friend Grey Wolf would say.

Highway Report:  Few critters making their way across between Highway 69 and Highway 11.  Care should be taken if out and about.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there with pole in hand will be from 5:30 AM  – 8:30 AM.  Then once again from 3:30 PM – 7:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few this morning and a 3 fish rating this afternoon.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Wife and I made a trip to North Bay for some supplies yesterday.  Found a few good sales here and there which made it a worth while trip.  I figure any time away from things is an asset to what one needs in staying fit.  Stores were quite busy with line up’s at all check-outs. North Bay is moving ahead with new business sprouting up all over.  Good to see.  Major corporations are now finding out what we have to offer here in the north and finally becoming a major player.  With that going to have my morning tea and chat to the wife a bit. Then will see what the day has in store.  Enjoy your weekend my friends and stay safe.  Inquiries Can Be Made At: [email protected]

Information For Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  So how is everyone doing this morning?  Good I hope.  Great looking day with temperatures waking up sitting at 16 C | 60.8 F. Will warm up.  Great weather to do anything one chooses.

Forecast For Today:  Rather unsettled clearing later with lots of sunshine.  Into tonight we could see a bit of rain and once again tomorrow morning. But sunshine will prevail for most parts.

Bug Report:  Nothing much to report in that department, things are good.

Highway Report:  Lots of cars, trucks and campers moving up and down highway 522.  Few deer and moose crossing here and there.  Travelling will be good today.  Kind of day that makes a person want to move around some.

Fishing Information:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there with pole in hand will be from 5:30 AM – 9:30 AM.  Then once again from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM.  And one more time from 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM.  I give it a 4 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few today.  Great weather for fishing and reports are coming in that they have been biting.  Good to hear.

Around Town:  Lots of folks dropping by our small store.  Reports also coming in that most resorts are doing well this month.    I am happy about that as the owners work hard in keeping them going.  On another note been eating zucchini every day.  I like it when they aren’t to large. My wife likes to cut the zucchini in half lengthways. Using a spoon or a paring knife, scoop out some of the flesh, then fill the zucchini shells with the  mixture of extra ground beef mixed with fresh grated garlic and tomato sauce.  Some bread crumbs on the top make for a great look.  Cover with a 3 year old cheddar cheese. Place on the prepared tray, drizzle with a little melted butter and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and ground beef is cooked. Quite tasty let me tell you. You could substitute the meat for an item of choice. Inquiries: [email protected]

Morning Information For Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Well once again it is a bit cloudy.  Temperatures were and have been quite nice for sleeping.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at, 16.9 C | 62.42 F. Will warm up some as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Tuesday: Changeable, mending a bit later on. Should see some sunshine in a bit and it will remain with us for the remainder of the week.  I would say it is going to be the nicest week so far this summer.

Bug Report:  Great days are upon us.  Hardly any bugs annoying folks.  Pretty well go or do anything one chooses to do outside.  Nice to be able to sit out all day long and take in what Nature has to offer. My kind of weather.

Highway Report:  Major Highways have been quite busy nearing the weekends.  Highway 522 is a great route for those interested in taking in Nature.  Few critters showing up on the sides of the Highway and a few making their way across.  Care should be taken if out driving.  Great day to travel.

Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick along with gathered data is saying that the best times to be out there with pole in hand will be from 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM.  Then again later on from 4:30 PM – 8:00 PM.  I give it a 3 fish rating this morning for catching a few and a 4 fish rating out of 5 this afternoon.  Winds this morning are coming in from the North at 0.8 m/s | 2.88 km/h | 1.79 mph.  Good Luck!

Around Town:  Been quite busy at our small store this week.  Lots of new faces with lots of folks dropping by  for items of choice. Also my wife’s paintings this year has been selling quite well.  Lots of folks from Toronto, and Southern Ontario making their way into our area to have a look see.  First week in August and about half of her paintings have been sold along with her painted cards with different scenes. On another note gardens are still quite dry and in need of some more rain but looks like we have had all that we are going to have for a spell.  Could see a sprinkle today but the amount will be far from what we need.  So looks like some watering will have to be done in the coming days.  Been eating tomatoes for the past few days fresh out of the garden.  Have to say they sure are tasty.  Skins are a touch thick this year caused by the hot dry weather.  With that going to head off for my morning tea, turmeric is my choice this morning.  I been battling a bout of psoriasis for the past couple months, on my shoulders, arms, legs and now in my hair and elbows, not pleasant to say the least.  So itchy one can hardly stand it.  I have been trying to seek out some Jewel Weed to see if it helps but so far can’t seem to find any. If anyone sees any and is in our area I would sure appreciate you cutting me some or letting me know where it is.  Also would like to hear of anyone that has had this problem and was able to bring it under control.  Have a great day.                                                                                      Inquiries:  [email protected]
