Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -14.4 C | 6.08 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. Highway 522 is mostly bare, so travelling will be good. Although we could see some light snow off and on throughout the day. We didn’t have any more snow overnight. But the good news is that, the real cold weather has left us for a day or so. Makes me happy, as my old body doesn’t like the cold that much anymore. If it wasn’t for this virus, my lovely wife and I would be sitting in the sunny south. But the way it stands now, that isn’t about to happen. It’s risky enough right here at home. On another note, I got a lot of work done here yesterday on my computer. Today I will do the same. I am setting up a few things to make the Blog better, with the help of my son. It’s nice to have a technologist that knows almost everything there is to know about computers at arms length. So to speak. Actually, he does most things remotely from his apartment, along with guiding me over the phone. It’s pretty amazing how far we have come over the past few years. With that, I am off for some pancakes that my lovely wife is making me, and will then see what the day has planned other than what I am wanting to do. Life’s a mystery. You never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a down right cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -30.2 C | -22.36 F. It will warm up a bit as the day progresses, but not that much. We didn’t have any more snow overnight. Highway 522 is partially snow covered, with some icy sections throughout. So once again, care should be taken if out and about. In saying that, when we went to town the other day we found that even though we were going the speed limit, almost everyone was passing us. I guess they can’t wait to get to Tim Hortons. There are a lot of people ice fishing these days, as I see a lot of ice shacks out on the lakes. I am not into ice fishing anymore, as the real cold seems to bother me these days. Sign of the time, I suppose. On another note, I noticed we had a few deer overnight checking out our bird feeder. They clean up all the excess seed that the birds knock off the bird feeder throughout the day. One thing about living in the country, nothing much goes to waste. Yesterday being so cold, I stayed inside where it was warm. Today I will do the same. With that, I am off to put some more wood in our furnace and will then see what the day has in store. I haven’t made up my mind yet on what I want to do. Actually, it’s nice being able to do that. In closing,

I would also like to take a sec and thank all those that have taken the time to say hello, here on the BLog and through E-Mails, letting me know they are enjoying the Blog and my Podcasts. Makes it all worthwhile. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! Starting things off, it is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature climbing out of bed was sitting at -24.8 C | -12.64 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is today. Tonight it will be even colder, so an extra blanket might be in order. Highway 522 has some icy snow covered areas throughout, but travelling will be good. We could also see some light snow later on this afternoon. To be honest … this time of year here in Port Loring, you can expect pretty well anything. And you should be prepared for just about anything. That’s what living in the north is all about. On another note, my lovely wife and I decided that … since it was going to get colder, that we should go and pick up our groceries in North Bay yesterday. Which we did. We have gone back to ordering things online as we were doing before when this virus slowed down some. So all we had to do was pull up in front of the places we deal with, give them a call, and they bring it out to our car. Can’t beat that. But the best part is we don’t have to subject ourselves to a whole mess of people inside the stores. Which I think is the thing to be doing these days. While there, we dropped by our son’s apartment, and see him in his parking lot, as he is staying safe too. Dropped him off a few things and then chatted to him on the phone along the way home. We also ordered some food, and ate it in our car, taking in the city life. It’s good to see what the other half is doing once in a while. Not that we would want such a lifestyle. Not saying it is a bad way to live, but it’s not for us. I have to admit, we had a great day and enjoyed getting out of the house for a few hours. The scenery that Mother Natures has on display is always nice to see. Today I think I will work away on another podcast, oh damn It’s Friday already, I guess I need to put up the next Episode. I will do that right now. I hope you enjoy it. Take care and stay safe. GW
