Still  quiet out there.  For most parts a lot of folks are having a hard time starting their old cars. Myself I plug mine in every night, as with the temperatures we get in this country it is sure hard on a car or truck starting them up cold.  One might think it costs a bit for hydro but end results folks, it is easier on the pocket book plugging them in.  Myself these days I am into doing some shop work.  Got the old wood stove perkin’ away yesterday and today will get to making my flutes and things for our small store for spring.  I enjoy working away out there, gives me a purpose in life one might say.  That’s just one of many I enjoy though.  Well tea time here, one of my most favorite times enjoying a tea and chatting to my lovely wife.  So you have a great day and dress warm if your going outside.  Don’t need anyone catching a cold.

Good morning and Happy New Years to ya all.  Well not as cool here in Port Loring waking up.  So will save a bit on the firewood today.  Today will be cloudy with a flurry or two and then if temperatures keep rising like they have been we will see some rain later on this afternoon.  Daytime temperature is going to reach 35 °f and then drop to 24 °f tonight.

Still quiet around town, see  a few folks heading off to their favorite church this morning being Sunday.  For my wife and I we take each day as it comes to us and treat it no different than any other.  With nature all around us what more could a fellow or gal ask for.  New years resolutions are being made today in hopes to better ones self, but there again my wife and I let things lie where they want.  Old saying is that you can make plans for the future, just don’t plan the results.  I like that one and has worked for us for many a years.  I also like another one, not a saying really, but words of wisdom my old Dad told me many years ago. “George,  If your unsure of what to do in life pertaining to a certain item, do the research, then ask as many folks as you can of how they think on the subject, then if say, 80 % like it one way, you then take the other.  Reason being that 80% of the world is wrong in their thinking.”  You know for four generations our family has used them words or most of us and the ones that has looking at them today, are pretty well off.  Maybe not with a lot of money, but well off enough with their meaning of life, food on the table, a warm home and values that are in abundance.    Have a great day my friends and “Happy New Years to ya.”

Good morning.  Well cloudy day here this morning but should see a bit of sunshine through out the day if things goes to plan.  Daytime temperature is going to reach 26 °f  then dropping to 19 °f  later on tonight.  Barometer is holding steady at 28.97 in Hg.   Winds are from the North and calm at the moment.   Had a bit of snow through the night but no accumulation to speak of.   The moon will rise 11:20 AM & set at 12:38 PM.

Well still pretty quiet around town.  Most folks are just taking it easy I suspect.   Yesterday we went to town to pick up a few things and I have to say the stores were packed full.  Thing is most were carrying packages and things, so that is a sign folks are spending.  Which is what we need to keep this old economy perkin’ away as it should be. Not what the Powers That Be would like you to think, but don’t take much to look through their shenanigans LOL So my friends have a great day an will be back here when a new day dawns.

Good morning.  Hope all is well with everyone.  Doing good here.  Was away yesterday so that was the reason why no entries were made. Temperature is going to reach 33 °f today and then later on tonight it will drop to 20 °f.   Cool nights sure make it nice for sleeping, for me anyways. Barometer is rising and at the moment sitting at 29.09 in Hg.  Should see some sunshine today with a few flurries.  Will be the first year for us living here in Port Loring with out snow, that is if we don’t get some before the big day.  We have lived here now for around nine years.  Amazing how time flies.  The moon today will Rise: 5:38 AM & then Set: 2:45 PM.

Not much to report, stores are quiet here in town, not many trucks or cars for that matter running up and down the roads.  Hardly even see anyone walking, other than my wife and I as we love to get out for some air every day. Most folks I would think will have their shopping all done up for the year.  But in saying that…..my wife and I was into North Bay yesterday and it was hard to even find a parking spot at the Mall.  So might just be a few last minute shoppers floating around.  For my wife and I we go in every year when it’s busy like that, not to buy much, but mostly for the spirit of things.  Just seeing folks laughing and having fun in picking out their presents sure is a sight to see.  Great time of year to say the least.  Gets us in the spirit of things you could say.   Well today just going to take it easy some and enjoy what the day brings us.  Have a great day folks.

Still pretty quiet out there,.but soon as the lakes freeze over and we have a bit of snow on the ground the trails for the snowmobiles will be open and that will liven things up some.  Today is the day for our Christmas tree to make its grand entrance, so will be busy getting it in and set up meeting my wife’s expectations.  The years just seem to fly by.  So just another reason to enjoy each day to the fullest.  Well tea time here, so I am going to sip on that, and you all have a great day.

Well we got rid of  a bit of ice along my roof edge.   But thinkin’ we will be needing another day or so of warm weather to finish things.  But………they say no, so might have to live with what we got rid of thus far, until spring arrives.  I also am predicting an early spring for us up her in the north. Hate going out on a limb saying that, but if I don’t I will regret I didn’t in the coming days.   Another good thing with this warm weather my wood furnace has been given a bit of a reprieve, which makes me happy as we can ease up on the wood burning.  Now don’t get me wrong we have more cold weather in the future heading our way starting tomorrow, but I am thinking it won’t last.   So enjoy your snowmobile and ice fishing while you can, as old Mother Nature has plans for us know it all humans in the coming weeks.  Ok with me too, as I am looking forward to gettin’ my new cedar strip boat in the water come the 24th of May.  Well maybe not brand new, but new to me after restoring it last summer.  Will write another post on that in the coming days.  Have a good one.
