Our two new highway signs will be installed with in the next month or so, one coming in from Highway 69 and one coming in from Highway 11.  Long time coming and will finally let folks know who we are back here.  I came up with the plan, a couple years back thinking  that advertising in papers is not a bad thing, but it is a one time thing, and then ones money is gone. Two signs will advertise for our community for years and my way of looking at it is; it is money well spent. The gift that keeps on giving you might say.  Have a great day.

Good morning/  Well was out of town yesterday so didn’t get to adding the weather and things.   Sun is shining this morning with temperature reaching 52°f today.  Tonight it will drop a bit to 36°.  Nice weather all week in the hight fifties with lots of sunshine.  Barometer today this morning is sitting at 21.68 in Hg.  and rising.  Good sign.  Winds are from the West and will turn southerly as the day goes by.  They are coming in at around 3 MPH. I told folks to get them ice huts in off the ice a couple days ago and some didn’t listen and I see today in the paper of around twenty seven people stranded on ice that broke up on Lake Nipissing and had to be rescued.     Ice Fishing is done up here for the year through my eyes, as one shouldn’t be out on the ice with temperatures reaching fifty with sunshine., my opinion to risky.  I  The moon will rise at 11:59 PM and then set at 8:57 AM.  It will be overhead at 3:55 AM & underfoot at 4:24 PM. The sun woke this morning at 7:38 AM and will set at 7:20 PM, giving us here in Port Loring 11 hrs. 42 mins. of daylight. Highway 522 is bare and dry for most parts.

News For Port Loring & District

Ice fishing huts should be off the lakes as soon as possible.   A bit of rain tomorrow an then sunshine all week with temperatures in the fifties.  Also for those that do up some maple syrup, this is the week to get them trees tapped.  Going to do mine today.  Cold nights and sunny days it should be flowing quite well all week.  Went to town yesterday and did a bit of shopping with my son, an visited him for a couple days.  Have say the stores were just a buzzing with folks out and about, in spite of all the snow they had there.  While I was in CTC picking up some antifreeze for my radiator to top it up, we had over four inches come down.  After that the roads were major slippery.  But folks were on their best behavior and not too many accidents.  Stores are busy with folks buying. Restaurants are packed with folks enjoying an meal away from home.  My son actually took us to Casey’s and I have to tell you, if you haven’t been there give them a try.  My most favorite, is there trio, Turkey club with salad and red pepper soup.  I have never tasted any better and prices are very good.  Well tea time here and then I will get outside and get to enjoying some of that sunshine that is showing itself.  Something folks should know.  Most folks today are so worried about high cholesterol taking drugs of all kinds to lower it.  Thing they don’t tell ya is this. If one would get out in the sunshine there would be no such thing as high cholesterol.  Folks seem to think that the sunshine is Vitamin D, well in one way it is, but in reality what the sun does, it changes the cholesterol to vitamin D, and other good things. Then the cholesterol in your bloodstream  migrates to the surface of the skin, to replace the cholesterol that was converted to D and other good things.  There the sun in simple terms, just sucks up the Cholesterol from your skin.  So if every one got the sunshine needed, there would be no such thing as high cholesterol.  Amazing huh?  And folks take pill after pill after pill.  Do the research my friends and don’t be fooled, no one knows your body better than you do.    My Opinion Only.   Have a great day.

We have had our share of snow in the past month that is for sure.  Yesterday I walked down to the shell station to get some gas, as after looking at my driveway decided on cleaning it.  Today I am sure glad I did, as yesterday it was major heavy wet snow.  Took all my snowblower could do to clean it out.  If I would have left it till today I am afraid it would have been one huge block of ice.  So my vibes were right on once again. Saying that, one has to remember we are given these feelings through out ones life for a reason. Reason being they save us a lot of grief.  Most choose not to feel them and act on them.  Today most choose to listen to others, like lawyers, doctors, powers that be and the media and not rely on themselves.  To bad too.  My Opinion Only.  Well tea time here and got to check the old wood furnace.  I suspect it is asking for more.  Have a great day my friends and dress warm if going outside today.  The sun will shine a bit later.

Not only a fine job, but the work they do there, is simply amazing.  Everything that is sold from that store goes directly to our Fire Department here in town, which over the years has helped immensely.  I can honestly say that it it wasn’t for them, we would be lacking in a lot of items, including some Fire Trucks.  Great folks and if your by there come summer, please drop by and say hello, and let them know how much you appreciate all their hard work.  Have a great day my friends.

News For Port Loring

Quiet.  Actually it is quite peaceful, folks are sittin’ back and taking life easy.  Can’t say I blame them neither, as won’t be long before the busy season.   Lookin’ forward to them warmer temperatures though.  I have noticed this year that we have had a lot more snow mobiles enjoying the trails around our home.  The Shell station in town is busy as all get out, pumping gas and on the weekends if going by, you will see an endless row of machines waiting to be filled with fuel.  Good to see them out and about,  as means folks aren’t staying cooped up in their homes and out doing what they enjoy.  Last year there wasn’t as many, thinking the media had folks minds messed up, thinking things were so bad out there financially wise that they stayed home.  Not a good thing and folks have to rely on their own way of thinking and doing things and not be swayed by others.  My way of lookin at things.  Well tea time here so you all have a great day.
