Good Morning! Hey! We are having some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, this morning. That’s a nice change. But it has gotten colder, with the temperature sitting at -3.9 C | 24.98 F. It will warm up a touch, but not much as the day progresses. I am thinking mid-week it will warm up above the freezing mark, but then it will get cold once again. So roller coaster weather for a few more days before winter gets settled in. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today if you have to go anywhere. I don’t think we have anywhere to go for another week or so. Yesterday I worked away on a story or two and today will do the same. It’s kind of nice to sit back with our wood heat on these cold days and look out. We still feed our birds which comes to our feeder every morning, noon, and night. I have to say, we get a lot of enjoyment watching them. Right now the birds we see are Blue-Jays, Morning Doves, Chickadees and Nuthatches, and a few Black Birds. On another note, I see there are a lot of sales this year for Black Friday. We did take advantage of a few things, as right now we can buy what we are in need of, for half price. The trick is not to overspend, and what you do buy needs to be paid off immediately if you’re using a credit card. Which we do. Over the years, my lovely wife and I have used these Mastercard Companies, instead of them using us. I do know it’s not easy for some, as it doesn’t take much for a person to get hooked, and them interest rates they charge, are outrageous. So best to be careful. I have always said … “Fill your needs, not your wants.” With that bit of info under your hat, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, that’s for certain. Take care and stay safe, the numbers are still rising with this virus here in Ontario. Wear your mask!

Good Morning!. Starting things off it is a cloudy wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We haven’t seen any sun for a few days now, which health wise isn’t the greatest. That’s where a Vitamin D3 supplement comes in handy. I would say that every one in the North or elsewhere should be taking a 1000 IU once a day. As most of us are low compared to where we should be. The temperature outside still hasn’t been all that cold. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at 2.8 C | 37.04 F. We could see our first snow of any accumulation later on today, tonight and into tomorrow. It kind of depends on how soon the temperatures start to fall. At any rate, there should be no complaints about the weather this Fall, as it has been quite nice. Highway 522 as of now is a bit wet from the rain but bare. On another note, I took a look at my garlic I planted earlier in the year, and it still isn’t showing itself, which is a good thing. I don’t like to see it up above the ground too much before the freezing weather hits. I did though put a good layer of leaves over most of them. We will see how that pans out, come spring. Yesterday I worked in my old woodworking shop getting things ready to do up some orders I have waiting. In a couple of days I will get to that. With that, I am off for some homemade waffles that my lovely wife is making me, and will then see what the day has in store. Maybe I will write up a story or two for my columns. That is, if anything comes to mind. Getting harder and harder to find a good subject after all these years. Take care and stay safe. The numbers are rising here in Ontario with this virus. Not a good thing, for sure. GW

Good Morning! Once again, we are in the midst of some clouds here in Port Loring, Ontario. But the good news is, the temperature is still quite mild, sitting at 4.1 C | 39.38 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. If things goes to plan, we should see some sunshine tomorrow. Which would be nice. But no matter what way you look at things, our weather here in Port Loring is and has been exceptionally pleasant compared to other years, and we are coming into December. Highway 522 is quiet these days, which is a norm. At the moment it is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today. For my lovely wife and I, we wait for sunny days if we have to go to North Bay for groceries and things, as it makes the drive in just that much nicer. As many times as we have been to town, we never get tired of it, as it seems there is always something new to see. It’s as if Nature only wants us to see certain things at certain times. On another note, I finished up my painting in our back porch yesterday and got the weather stripping around the doors set into place. Today I am going to be working on a new story for my Newspaper Columns I write for, and if that goes well I will then get to working on another Podcast which comes out every Friday morning. And while talking about my Podcast, I would like to thank all those, once again, for letting me know how much they are enjoying my Podcasts. Also, I would like to mention I have had a problem with the Google Home Assistant relating to folks not being able to hear my Podcasts. But it is all fixed now. If you want to listen to my Podcasts on the Google Home now, as in the beginning. Just say!!! Hey Google, Play Just One More Story by George Walters and you should be all set. Not sure what went wrong, but they eventually fixed it. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of Oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a gloomy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. Overnight we did have some freezing rain but with the temperatures going to be well above freezing today, it won’t last long. Highway 522 is quiet these days and will remain that way till spring. It is also a bit slippery out there so care should be taken if out and about. Yesterday i did some painting in the house here and today I will be putting some weather stripping around the door in my back porch. So in other words just puttering around. In reality … not much happening in and around our small community these days. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care an stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -1.6 C | 29.12 F. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward. We could see some sunshine off and on today, but tonight freezing rain will enter into the picture, and the roads could become quite slippery. If it gets cold enough we could see some snow of maybe an inch or so. So to be sure we will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Either way, tomorrow won’t be the best of days for travelling. Highway 522 is slowing down traffic wise with hunting season about over. Yesterday i worked in our back porch making some new trim for around the door and windows. I also lit the wood stove in my old woodworking shop for the first time this year. Felt good too. I have been starting our-wood furnace in the house now for the past week. There is nothing like wood heat to take out the dampness in a person’s body and the house. The trick is not to get it to hot. But over the years we have learned how to make that happen. Today I will be doing a bit of painting on the new trim I made which will look after the day. With that I am off for some home made waffles with an egg on top, that my lovely wife is making, and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe, this virus is rising a bit every day. GW
