Good morning folks.  Well waking up to some rain here this morning.  Much needed though, as my tomatoes were in need of a drink, along with nature herself.  Temperatures are sitting at 18.3 C | 64.94 F.  Will stay that way pretty much throughout the day.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy, much rain enriching the soil as needed. Ending later on this evening.

Bug Reports:  Mosquitoes are in abundance this morning as they just love this kind of weather.  Rain doesn’t hold them back neither, as if out, they will hide in your clothing and come right back inside with with ya.  Went out twice so far this morning bringing one in each time, or so the wife says.

Fishing Times:  Haven’t been out yet myself this year, just been to busy.  But thinking it should be put up higher on the list of things to do in the coming days.  Got the old boat ready to go though, motor is running like a clock after its rest all winter long.  Washed the boat itself and looks pretty good, inviting you might say.  Any ways…for those wanting to do some fishing today in spite of the rain, the old weather stick says the best time to be out there will be from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.  Then one more time from 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  Not the greatest day to be out there with the rain and all.  But there are those that, weather isn’t a factor.  Good luck.

Around Town:  For those wanting an exact reading on their hydro bills here in Port Loring & District this is the day to read your meter.  Just take a reading and call it in.  You have to specify that you want this reading, not an estimated one, as they have a tendency of sending out estimated bills.  No reason for it neither.  Only takes a second which eliminates the not knowing.    For myself things like that plays on my mind. Over the years I have found if something bugs me a touch, I fix it so it doesn’t…right away.  On another note, with the rain and all it’s a good day to go to town for some groceries or items of interest if your in need.  That way you are home here to enjoy the nice weather, which will be upon us come tomorrow.  I hate missing a day of sunshine sitting in a car.

Enjoy your day my friends.

Good morning.  Well not a bad day.  Woke up to temperatures sitting at…18.7 C | 65.66 F.  Cloudy though and will remain so throughout the day with a bit of sunshine later on. Might get some rain through the night.

Forecast For Today:   Unsettled, probably improving later on.

Bug Report: Mosquitoes are out there for sure, but Dragonflies are cleaning them up pretty good.  Great to see them rascals.  There are a few small blackflies out there biting folks too.  Had a few bite me on the legs yesterday while working in my shop.  Pretty itchy too and one has to refrain from scratching, or they just get worse.  Good test for ones constitution.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from12:00 PM – 3:30 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  So could just be your day for putting fish in the frying pan.  Good Luck.

Around Town: Not much happening in and around our district these days. Which in one way is a good thing, as that is what folks for most parts come here for….Quietness and Nature.  OK by me.  So my friends enjoy your day.  GW

Good morning. Well this morning the sun is trying to make an appearance. Temperatures waking up were a touch cool sitting at…12.8 C | 55.04 F.  Being so nice and cool one can sleep like a log. Perfect weather one could say.

Forecast For Today:    Showery early, improving throughout the day.

Bug Report:   Well the only culprit out there annoying folks are the mosquitoes.  Had a camp fire going last night and it was pretty hard to get away from them.  Needles to say we called it a night after dark.  But had fun just the same.

Fishing Times:    This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then once again from 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 4 for catching them in the morning;  and then a 2 fish rating for catching them in the evening.  Not the greatest day but one just never knows.  Good luck.

Around Town: Very quiet to say the least.  Tourists are waiting to make their appearance in quantity, till after the kids are out of school, which isn’t to far off.  Things should change then.  We have been quite busy this year with improving things around our property, along with adding new products to our small store.  Native American Flutes has been our biggest seller, along with our books this year so far. Wife’s signs for cottages and places also has done quite well, with her always having one or two on the go. But then what can I say….she is a great Artist and does them up well with all kinds of scenes, as she does with all her paintings.  We are in hopes of having a numerous number of her paintings, sketches and originals for sale later on in the summer.  We also changed our sign our front which reads Northern Pine Gallery Of Fine Arts.  Thought that was fitting, as we are surrounded by our huge red pines.  Lovely spot we have here, so if your in the area drop by.

Good morning folks.  Well a bit cool out there this morning but sure is pleasant weather for sleeping and working.  Waking up temperatures were sitting at…9.8 C | 49.64 F.  Will warm up some though as the day moves forward.

Forecast For Today:   Fairly fine, possible showers early.

Bug Report:   Well things in this department have slowed down some.  Makes it better when bugs and humans get along.  Mosquitoes are still here of course and will be for the rest of the summer. Horse and deerflies will be with us also.  But for most parts the blackflies have left us for another year.  With fishing season upon us, makes it more enjoyable being out with nature, without being pestered to much by these creatures of annoyance.

Fishing Times:   Well this morning things are looking up a touch.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 4 for catching them.  The old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there today will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM.  Again a bit later from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.  Then one more time from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.  Should be able to put some fish on the table for supper today I would think.  Good Luck!
