Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning starting things off, but the sun will make its way into our area in a bit. Which will make it another nice day. It was so nice and warm yesterday that my wife and I quit early and sat outside, taking in the sunshine. It sure felt good, let me tell you. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which once again will make travelling good.

On another note, I worked steadily in my old woodworking shop all day yesterday, at least till front porch sittin’ entered into my mind. Today I will do the same. Other than that, not much happening in and around our small town. Well … deer season is closing in us, and there are lots of strangers roaming around the woods these days. So knowing that, care should be taken if out and about. And never go out into the bush without wearing a fluorescent orange coat. In doing so, you won’t be mistaken for a deer. Pays to be cautious these days, as the old hunters that once were, are far and in-between. Today we have a mixed breed out there, and as much as I hate to say it, a lot shouldn’t be carrying a gun. My opinion only.
With that I am off for my morning bowl of porridge and will then see what the day has in store.

Here it is November first. Man, time sure flies by, let me tell ya. One minute we are in the midst of summer and the next we are closing in on Winter. But you wouldn’t know it weatherwise.

Starting things off, we are in the midst of some clouds here in Port Loring. We also had a light shower earlier this morning. The temperature is still warm this morning, with it sitting at 8.6 C | 47.48 F. It will warm up more as the day moves forward. And we should also see some sunshine a bit later on. Can’t beat that for this time of year. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good. For my wife and I we have all we need for a few weeks, so we will be staying put.

On another note, I worked in my woodworking shop all day yesterday on the Cobblers Bench I am making. Today will be doing the same. It’s nice to be able to do these things. To me, there is nothing nicer than to take a few pieces of old used lumber and make it into something beautiful that will last for years.

With that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife is preparing for me and will then get to work.

In Closing, I would Like To Wish You Well.

Starting things off, it is a really nice day here in Port Loring. The sun is shinning, and the temperatures are staying quite warm for this time of year, sitting at 4.8 C | 40.64 F waking up. And by the looks of things, these warm temperatures will remain with us for another week or so. It won’t be good for the deer hunt, but the deer themselves are loving it. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those wanting to head into North Bay or ? It is possible we could see a few showers, depends on which way the rain is heading. Nature does what she wants and won’t be dictated to by us humans. I respect her motives.

On another note, I worked all day in my old woodworking shop yesterday, getting lots done on the Cobblers Bench I am working on. I also got energetic and in the afternoon and rearranged my whole shop. And if I do say so myself, it is lookin’ good. I enjoy my shop and even more so now, with everything being easy to get at and work with. It’s not a big shop as I used to have, but I can do anything in there that someone could in a huge shop. It’s all in how you go about doing things. Working by myself over the years, I had to learn ways of doing things on my own.

With that, I am off for a bowl of porridge that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then get to work. Porridge stays with you a long time and is a very health food to eat. Other than the brown sugar, I add. But hey … I enjoy it. Haha.

It looks like another nice day is shaping up for us here in Port Loring. The sun is slowly rising without a cloud in the sky. The temperature isn’t or wasn’t all that bad neither getting out of bed, with it sitting at 2.6 C | 36.68 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. We did have another heavy frost overnight, but it is melting fast.

On another note, I did get up a touch early this morning and lit the shop stove, so it will be nice and cozy in there to do some work. Yesterday I did the same, but after a half hour of burning I let it go out, as if I didn’t, it would be too warm to do any work. Actually I had my shop door open all day which was nice. I enjoy working out there as it seems it gives me a different perspective on life, and I don’t get too wrapped up with myself. In other words, it takes my mind off of things, that are really not all that important. Today I will continue on with the old Cobblers Bench I am working on, I did get the top cut out yesterday along with the legs. Today I will finish turning the legs on my lathe, and if time will start assembling a few things.

With that I am off for my morning bowl of porridge that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then get to work. Enjoy your day, and if possible take advantage of this nice weather. I know we will be.

Good Morning!

Had a game of checkers with my old friend yesterday. You have to watch him all the time, as he has a tendency of cheating a bit when you’re not looking.

So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. It is that time of year, when the older you get, the more the old bones hurt. Least it seems that way for me. Especially the damp, cold weather. Years ago a lot of Canadians headed off to Arizona for winter, where it is dry and warm as the dry weather made life more bearable. Myself, I have never been there, as most of the time years ago we headed on down to Florida. It’s a lot warmer down there. We also had a cottage there in Sarasota. It is getting built up now, which makes it hard to get around. But back in the 60s it was the place to be. I had a lot of good times while there. Amazing really that we were able to get there every winter. It wasn’t that we had a lot of extra cash, neither. Today when we could go we don’t, well … not all that much. It makes me kind of wonder about that. Highway 522 is bare, dry and quiet this morning. There are a few hunters moving around taking in the sights, The temperature waking up wasn’t as cool as yesterday, with it sitting at 3.3 C | 37.94 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward, and we should be seeing lots of sunshine, which will be nice, as I love sunshine.

On another note, I did light up my old shop stove yesterday, got it nice and warm in there, and never did anything. It was one of those days. It seems it takes me a day to recover from our trip to North Bay, whenever we go for groceries. Maybe it’s the shock from what it cost us for things, Ha ha. This morning I lit it again and after breakfast I will get to work on a project I am wanting to make for my lovely wife. It’s an old Cobblers Bench. They are a lot of work making, as I have made a few over the years for customers, but this one is for us. Which we will put in front of our couch here in the living room. It’s going to be like a Jersey Cow. As Jerseys have all the extras. Another old saying we had on the farm years ago. Ha ha.

With that I am off for a bowl of Porridge and a muffin and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. Seems no matter what I start off with, things somehow change a wee bit. Have a great day and stay safe.

Good Morning!

It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring. A frost through the night took a grip on the land, and looking out my living room window, the ground is white. Kind of pretty in its own way. The temperature waking up was sitting at 0.3 C | 32.54 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. Well … a wee bit. The good news is … we will see lots of sunshine for the next few days. So, I guess I can’t complain, But then again, it wouldn’t do any good to complain anyway. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling today quite nice.

On another note, my wife and I took a trip to town (North Bay) yesterday. We were in need of a few things for winter. This is the time to pick these things up, as there are some good deals waiting to be had in certain stores. I did pick up a real nice pair of winter lined leather mittens for $10.00 at Giant Tiger, over by Sobeys. In this country, you might as well throw finger gloves in the garbage. Gas prices were sitting at $1.77 a Litre, not as bad as it was earlier in the year. Still too damn much, though. The groceries we bought yesterday, were also a touch expensive, but we did pick up a few things that were being sold at a good price. Kind of surprised us. While there, we bought some lunch and ate it in the car, taking in the sights. We enjoy doing that. We had so many places to go we didn’t get home till after dark, and by the time we got to bed it was around midnight. Any longer and we might have turned into a pumpkin. That is an old quote we used years ago. Ha ha.

Funny how things goes. While shopping and going to places yesterday, my intuition was telling me that we had to be careful going home, it kept nagging at me saying we had to keep an eye open for deer and thing. I had a not so good feeling. So paying attention to them feelings, about halfway home I looked over at my wife and said. “You know, I think I will slow it down to around 70 just in case.” She said she thought it was a good idea too. Two minutes later, out of nowhere, there stood a huge moose right in front of us. By not going too fast, we were able to come to a stop. Watching it slowly move off into the bush. If I had been going the speed limit, and not following my intuition, we would have definitely hit it. And you know … you sure don’t need to be hitting one of them. A deer is bad enough, I know, as I hit one that ran out in front of me coming home from Florida one winter. It made a heck of a mess of my car, let me tell you. At that time in my life, I was young, and I didn’t take heed of my instincts. After that I did, and over the years it has sure paid off. With a lot of things, actually. Like last night. You know, I think we all have that gift, but most folks today doesn’t recognize it, being that a lot have been protected too much throughout their lives.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast and will then see what the day has in store. Enjoy your day and stay safe. We noticed a lot of young folks coughing and sneezing in the stores yesterday. We were happy we both were wearing our masks and using a lot of hand sanitizer.

Good Morning!

It’s a cool morning waking up here in Port Loring. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -1.8 C | 28.76 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward, but them warm temperatures we were having are gone. At least for a while, as where we live you never know. One day it could be warm, the next day we could be up to our ears in snow with icicles hanging from our nose. I am hoping it will be a warmer winter than last year. Reason being we wouldn’t be burning as much oil or wood. And with the price of oil, gas and wood these days, it makes it hard on us older folks and others, that doesn’t have much $$$ to spare. The good news is we are having some sunshine this morning, which will make it, at least, look nice outside. Highway 522 is bare, dry and quiet this morning, but it is early. I should also mention that we had a heavy frost overnight, as looking out, the roof on my woodworking shop is pure white.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much outside yesterday with it raining for most of the day. I did clean up my shop a bit and got some wood out of storage to start another project. After that I finished up another Podcast for Friday morning, and by the time I had that all finished up, it was time to have supper and put my feet up. All in all, a pretty productive day.

With that, I am off for a bowl of hot porridge that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe, as there is a lot of sickness around these days. The hospitals are filling up in the Southern part of Ontario. This virus isn’t done with us yet. You put it, the Flu and colds together, it makes it kind of rough on folks. And a lot could be avoided if

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up in Port Loring. We won’t be seeing too much sunshine today. We might however see some rain, which will cool things down some. Tomorrow we should see a return of the sun if things go to plan. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so far, this morning. There are still lots of hunters moving into our area for the deer hunt that starts next week, It will get even busier nearing the weekend.

On another note, my wife and I worked outside on a few projects yesterday, getting a lot done. We like to take advantage of the nice days when ever we can. Today, being that it is going to rain, I will clean up my shop getting it ready for another project. My part in making the … new one of a kind end table is finished, now my wife is going to work her magic painting a scenic picture on the top. She is an amazing artist, and people have bought her paintings from all over the world. Once I clean up my messy shop, I will finish up another Podcast that I have been working on, which I will post live Friday morning.

With that I am off for some homemade pancakes my lovely wife is preparing for me, and will then see what the day has in store, other than what I have planned. Stay safe.

Well it is a nice day for sure waking up here in Port Loring. Not as nice as yesterday, as we are in the midst of some clouds. The temperatures also have cooled down a touch, but it is still nice sitting at 14.4 C | 57.92 F. It will warm up somewhat as the day moves forward. After today though things begin to change with rain moving into our area tomorrow which will cool things down for Thursday. But in saying that, the sun will return on Thursday. After that it is touch and go. But it is that time of year when we can expect anything. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. There were a few people moving around yesterday, mostly hunters, as I have been seeing a lot of orange in the vehicles going by our home. Oh, they did shingle the roof on the LCBO yesterday, Just in case you’re interested. Ha ha

On another note, we and I did get a lot done outside yesterday. My wife got a lot of things painted and stained outside that she will be painting scenes and things on for customers. It’s nice to get them done up outside, as it keeps the fumes out of our home. Myself I cleaned up my shop a bit, did some welding on a project I am working on, had lunch and then got busy vacuuming and washing our car. I also managed to get a coat of wax on it. After that, I lubricated things up and called it a day. We even had enough time left in the day to enjoy a coffee on our front porch, soaking in some of that free Vitamin D. We like to try and get all we can of that going into winter.

With that I am off for my breakfast a bowl of porridge and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe, a lot of people sick these days in our area.

Good Morning!

Once again, we are in the midst of some really nice weather here in Port Loring. The temperature waking up was sitting at 10.7 C | 51.26 F, and it will warm up as the day moves forward. Hard to believe we are having weather like this. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, with quite a few pickups and campers moving past our home. I suspect most of them are deer hunters, as deer season is fast approaching. The first two weeks in November is when things get started. At least for those using rifles. So knowing that care will have to be taken when out and about. I stay out of the bush this time of year. Also, you have to keep a good eye out for the deer along the highways, as they can be moving fast trying to get away from the hunters, and if you hit one … they can do a lot of damage to your vehicle. Then again, we here in the north have to always be on our guard when driving, as you never know when one might run out in front of you. The thing that a lot doesn’t realize is that if you see one, there is usually more close behind.

Yesterday being so nice outside, my wife cut down a lot of our flower plants in our gardens, and I trimmed up some trees. We then raked a few leaves and cleaned our eve troughs. After that we sat outside on our front porch taking in the beautiful day, along soaking up some needed Vitamin D. All in all it was a great day. Today I am thinking of vacuuming out our car and washing it. If I have enough wax, I might give it a coat, which will help it get through the winter, protecting it from all the chemicals that they are putting on the road these days. My wife and I take advantage of the nice weather when ever we can. We have been doing that for most of our lives. I have always worked with the weather, and it has worked for me, I always seem to get things done at the right time. I guess that is the farmer in me.

With that, I am off for a pancake with an egg on top that my lovely wife is making for me. After that, we will see what develops. One day at a time. Hell, sometimes it’s an hour at a time.

And it is … once again a really nice day, weather wise. The sun is shinning, and the temperature is or was sitting at 9.9 C | 49.82 F. It will warm up a lot more as the day moves forward. It’s what you would call a Fall Summer’s Day. Highway 522 is bare and dry and the traffic is almost nil this morning, being Sunday. Most folks around here take it easy on Sundays. For myself, it doesn’t matter what day it is, they are all the same to me, I enjoy them all. Kind of how you look at things.

On another note, I worked in my old woodworking shop yesterday and today my wife and I are planning on cleaning our eve troughs. They shouldn’t be as bad this year, as we had to take down a lot of the trees that were close to our home throughout the summer. They were getting up there in size along with being quite old. We didn’t want a storm to come in and knock them down on our house. But in saying that, for what we took down we planted a few new maple trees which will look real nice in the coming years. Remove and replace, I always say.

With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal my lovely wife is making for me and will then see what the day has in store … other than what I have planned. You never know.

Good Morning!

And it is a nice morning here in Port Loring. The temperature is like summer, waking up sitting at 11.3 C | 52.34 F. It will warm up more with lots of sunshine as the day progresses. We could see temperatures for the next four days or so reach the 70F/21C mark. No reason to not get outside today, that’s for sure. I know I will be. Front porch sittin’ is on our menu for when we have our coffee this afternoon. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, just the way I like it. And if it was up to me, it could stay this way all winter.

On another note, I have been working in my old woodworking shop these days. I put most of the day out there yesterday and will probably do the same today. I did light the shop stove just to take out the coldness from last night, but will let it go out now, with it being so nice outside.

The Robbins we saw yesterday have left, or at least I haven’t seen any this morning. Most birds have left for warmer weather, but a few choose to linger around occasionally. Which is nice to see. My lovely wife and I enjoy watching them.

With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then let the day unfold around me. Have a great day and try and get outside for the next few days, so you can soak up some of that good vitamin D. There is none better than what the sun has to offer.

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperature waking up was sitting at 4.8 C | 40.64 F. The snow we had yesterday didn’t amount to anything, and melted before the day ended. Actually, our temperatures are going to rise for the next few days into the low 60s F. It will feel somewhat like summer after what we have been having. This damp cold weather plays havoc with the old body, that’s for sure. These so-called specialists say it has nothing to do with how the body feels. I say live in mine for a few days. Ha ha. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning with a few more hunters coming into our area, setting up things for the Deer hunt, which starts on the first two weeks of November.

On another note, getting out of bed, I saw a lot of Robins seeking out them nice juicy worms throughout our lawn and gardens. They always seem to drop by on their way south for a day or so. It’s like they want to say goodbye for now. I thought I heard one say … “See You In The Spring”

Yesterday I worked in the house here on a Podcast which is live now. Today I will work on another for a while, while my shop is warming up. I have a one of a kind coffee table in the works that I would like to finish. I have the base cleaned up and old wash tub, and the top is glued up waiting to be sanded. So … lots of things to do if I want to do them.
With that, I am off for some homemade pancakes my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care.

It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring. The temperature waking up was sitting at 3.4 C | 38.12 F. It’s cool enough that could see a flurry here and there throughout the day. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning, as we are having some light rain at the moment.

On another note I did get my snow tires and oil change done yesterday, but we found that my brakes aren’t all that good, so he ordered some parts for that which we will get done in a few days. It always seems something comes along to take your money these days. I don’t know how many times we had to install new brakes and rotors on our vehicle since we bought it, but it has been a few, that’s for sure, along with other things too. They sure don’t make cars like they used to do.

Today I will take it easy as I am not moving like I should be, so best to stay put for a bit. I never know what a day might bring these days.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and, well … we will see. Stay safe.

Hmm, I can actually remember when those old plough’s were used. They are so old the spelling checker doesn’t recognize the word, ha ha.

It’s once again a cloudy morning here in Port Loring. We did have a lot more rain yesterday and through the night. At least it wasn’t snow. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good for those in need of some groceries and things. The temperature has cooled down some, with it sitting at 2.8 C | 37.04 F getting out of bed.

Yesterday I worked in the woodworking shop for most of the day. I am making a one of a kind coffee table using an old wash tub for a base. Once I finish it, my wife is going to do a painting on the top. I will take a picture of it when all said and done. I enjoy doing things like that.

Today I have to take our vehicle down to Kerry’s shop, so he can put on our snow tires along with checking out our brakes along with an oil change. I like to change my oil twice a year, once in the spring and once in the Fall. After that, we should be all set for the winter. Having to go into North Bay for groceries every so often, snow tires are a must.

With that I am off for a bowl of porridge that my lovely wife is making for me and will then get on with my day. Stay safe, I hear a lot of folks sneezing and coughing when I was out yesterday. I am glad I wore my mask and put sanitizer on my hands before I Ieft the house.

Good Morning!

It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring. We did see a touch of sunshine yesterday, but that was about it. A touch. We also had a lot of heavy rain through the day. Today will be much the same as yesterday, other than we could see a few flakes of the white stuff. I won’t mention what it is really called, as I don’t want to encourage it too much. The temperature waking up was sitting at 4.3 C | 39.74 F. It will warm up a bit, but not much as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good.

On another note, we still aren’t burning any wood in our wood furnace yet. As if we did, the house would be too warm. So until it gets colder, we use our oil furnace. Speaking about heat sources. For the past five years, the Powers that Be have been trying to switch everyone over to gas and propane along with electricity. Now that they have done so, the price has almost doubled. It’s easy enough to say that they are doing this to save the environment, but that is the furthest thing from the truth as in all honesty, none of the other countries are doing anything … which cancels out anything we do. If anything, these other countries are producing more coal and things than they ever were. Unless everyone does their share, nothing will change. My opinion on the subject is we here in Canada should be looking at ways of making what we have, like gas and oil and coal, more efficient, so we can use them. There are ways, but some folks believe that their way is the only way, and work very hard at pushing it on others. We also need to be building more refineries here in Canada, so we can make our own gas and oil instead of relying on others, as we are doing now. If we did that, our country would be more self efficient, and we would be able to drop the price of our gas and oil down to half of what it is now, which would eliminate a lot of our problems we are having today. Improve what we have now, not do away with it. All that is happening by not using oil and gasoline is making other countries use more and get rich. They are laughing at us. Anyway, not sure how I got on that subject. Oh, ya, I mentioned that we haven’t turned on our wood furnace yet. Ha ha.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal with a piece of toast and then see what the day has in store. Stay safe, there is a lot of sickness going around these days. Might be more if these so-called Powers that Be keep raising the prices of things. No one will be able to eat or have a place to get out of the cold this winter. In all my years, I haven’t seen our world be in such despair.

Well … actually, not much is taking place in our small community these days. Overnight we had some heavy downpours, along with some high winds thrown in for good measure. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at5.8 C | 42.44 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is right now. The sun will be a lazy riser this morning, if it shows itself at all. Looking ahead we could see up to 1 inch of wet snow on Tuesday and following that on Thursday we could see another 2-4 inches of the wet white stuff. Kind of depends on what the temperature will be. Highway 522 is wet and quiet traffic wise these days. The hunters aren’t having a good year, that’s for sure. But as I said before, the critters are happy.

On another note, I decided to tackle cleaning up my woodworking shop yesterday. It took me most of the day. Least now when I get the urge I can do some work out there. I enjoy my shop when I am feeling good. I do have a few projects that I want to make through the winter for our store come spring. After I got my shop cleaned up, I took it easy for the remainder of the day.

Today I might do some more straightening of things in the shop, and maybe get to working on a coffee table that I have in mind. It will be a one of a kind project. It should keep me out of trouble for a while.
With that, I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is preparing for me, and will then see what the day has in store. You never know what might take place. I start off in one direction and end up going in another. Keeps life interesting, to say the least.

It’s a cloudy, wet morning here in Port Loring. The rain just started, and it sure looks gloomy out there. On days like this, I like to turn on our lights, along with my computer, turn up the heat a notch and enjoy what our home has to offer. TV is fine, but we only watch it in the evening hours. The temperature waking up was sitting at 9.8 C | 49.64 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. And with that said … the rain will stay with us for the next 4 days or so, and it is possible that some light snow might enter into the picture off and on. Highway 522 is wet this morning and the traffic has settled down to just a few locals moving around.

On another note, my wife and I decided to head into North Bay yesterday to pick up some groceries and things. It’s the closest for us and have more than we need. Actually, it turned out to be a real nice day, with the sun coming out for most of our trip in and back home. There are still some leaves on the trees, but they are falling fast, and I suspect after the weekend we won’t see them again till next year. Sad to see them go, but the trees do need a rest. While in town, we decided to try out the new Popeye’s Chicken place on Lake shore road for lunch. I have to admit, it was pretty tasty. We had the Crispy Chicken sandwich with some fries as show in the picture above. The only thing I recommend is don’t order large fries if you’re not a big eater, as they give you a lot. So many we had to take over half home. I guess that is okay for some. But for us, it is too much and if you have to warm them back up, they don’t taste all that good. A bit pricey, with our lunch costing us $29.00 for the two of us. Not the healthiest meal either, but we don’t eat out all that much, but once in a while we enjoy trying something new.

While in town, we also picked up some Northern Spy Apples at the Garden centre on Lake shore near Highway 11. They sure are tasty this time of year, and if you’re wanting to make pies, there are no better apples to do it with than the Northern Spy.

After we had lunch, we headed on home, enjoying a perked coffee that my lovely wife prepared for us before we left home. All in all, it was a great day. An expensive day after buying groceries and a few other things, but not much you can do about that. We are lucky to be able to do what we do.
With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal which will make up for the not so good food we ate yesterday ha ha. Have a great day, make it a great day. GW

Good Morning!

Waking up here in Port Loring this morning, it is a bit cloudy. It is also wet, caused by all the heavy rain we had through the night. I have to say it rained pretty good too. I do however like to listen to it fall on our roof at night. It seems to lull me to sleep. It reminds me of when I was young many years ago as my bedroom was upstairs, and we had a steel roof. You could say, memories of the good old days. The temperature getting out of the sack was sitting at 5.2 C | 41.36 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. And taking a look at my weather station, we could see some sunshine today. But it will be short-lived, as more rain is in the forecast for the next few days. And I hate to mention the word snow, but we could see some flurries later next week. Highway 522 is bare and wet once again this morning, and the traffic is slow these days.

On another note, I was going to head on out to my woodworking shop yesterday, but decided to stay inside where it was warm and dry. And you know … I can do that. Ha ha. Some say it must be nice. I say yep it sure is, but my lovely wife and I earned it too. For most of our life, we worked from daylight to dark.

Today I will see what develops. Now I am feeling somewhat better, my mind is on doing all kinds of things. I just have to choose cautiously, as I don’t want to be laid up all winter. My mind says okay let’s do this, but my body says hold … up there a minute partner, and think this out.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of toast that my wife is making for me. Then I will see what the day has in store. Stay safe there is a lot of sickness spreading around these days, and it will be quite bad for the next month or so before things settle down.

Funny in one way, as when we were all wearing masks, you hardly ever heard of anyone catching a cold or flue. Actually, no one even needed the flu shot. Makes me wonder why more of us aren’t wearing them these days, especially going into winter. For my wife and I we do when ever we go into stores or where there is a lot of people. We also use hand sanitizers before and after too. We feel it is a lot better than getting sick. But, as I always say. “To Each Their Own.”

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well!
