Lots of folks out hunting this year.  Cars & Trucks all along 522 with folks heading off back into the bush.  I have to say I am very fortunate having the Booth family as friends to hunt with, as being private land, it  kind of takes the worry out of who and where the other hunters around a feller.  Not to forget they all are a great bunch of folks to hunt with. So….2 Bucks  down so far, will go and see if we can get another couple today.  If so everyone should have lots of meet in the freezer for winter and next summer.  Enjoy your day my friends and stay safe.

Took a drive to town yesterday and have to say it is a busy place.  North Bay that is.  Lots of folks out and about and most carrying packages or pushing shopping carts.  So good sign that folks are spending money which makes for a good economy.  I am thinking it will be a good year business wise here in Port Loring.   Our small store has kept us busy now for the last month or so.  Kind of just the opposite of last year.  Bass season opens this Saturday.  Limits are 2 for C License 6 for Sports License.  Myself I get to fish for free being over 65 which has been earned over the years.  Should be a lot more added things that are free for us seniors relating to nature. It would cut down on health issues over 50%.  Will the powers to be listen?  Not likely.   Enjoy your day my friends.

Managed to get the weather sensor back up and running. Working good now with a few minor calibrations needed on our part. Should be in complete form later on this morning.  Ended up after all said and done, with shipping it back we got a newer version of our sensor plus a donation on their part of a 150 foot cable installed directly to the sensor by the manufacturer along with being calibrated.  So all in all was worth the effort in sending it back.  The folks we purchased it from in Oregon USA; MET ONE were very helpful and great folks to deal with. They bent over backwards in getting us fixed up and back on the air.  I have always said a good product is fine, but the service one gets after the fact, is just as important if not more.  This sensor we have is not made off shore neither, it is made right in the USA.  Can’t beat that.  Any of the graphs can be clicked on which in turn will open a really detailed graph.  Just one more added feature that Karl put together for us here at the LSB.  At the top is the forecast for the day which changes as weather data changes.  The Link For The Weather Station: Is On The Front Page Of The Local Service’s Boards Web Site.  http://www.loringlsb.com/
