Good Morning! It’s a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at 10.7 C | 51.26 F. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward. The winds are coming in from the SS East, which isn’t the best. I suspect there will be showers or rain off and on throughout the day. We could see a bit of sunshine, but for most parts the clouds will remain with us. Highway 522 is slowing down more every day, now that the kids are back to school and the weather is getting colder. I can’t say I blame them. For myself, in one way I am glad winter is coming as my lovely wife and I will get a much-needed rest after all the work we have done this summer. But I don’t look forward to the cold and snow. And by looking at nature, we could see a lot of snow with some pretty good storms thrown in for good measure this winter. It might pay to put in some extra firewood along with picking up some extra gas for your generator. A generator is a good investment in this area. Yesterday I worked away in my woodworking shop getting it set up for making things this winter. Today I think I will start to bring in our firewood for winter. That usually takes us three days. I feel better when it is in the basement, piled high and dry. Nothing like having the wood right at your fingertips. Some have these outside furnaces. Mine is in my basement, where all I have to do is put on my slippers and feed it without going out into the blowing snow. But to each their own. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal. It is healthy and stays with you for most of the morning, which is what a person needs in this neck of the woods. Take care and stay safe, the numbers are rising virus wise, here in Ontario with the kids going back to school. GW

Fishing Times: Today my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there today will be from 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM, and then again from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. But it won’t be the greatest day. I only give it a 1-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. But you never know. If you’re in the right place at the right time, you could pull in one or two. Don’t forget your raincoat and a warm drink. Good Luck!

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning once again here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a bit cool with the winds coming in from the North, with the temperature sitting at 10 C | 50 F. Things should clear and warm up somewhat, and we will see some sunshine later on as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is busy to some extent, but has quieted down a lot. Highway 11 has also slowed down a wee bit, with folks not wanting to come up to where it is starting to get cold. Good in some ways, not so good in other ways. LOL Yesterday my lovely wife and I had a change of plans and decided to go to North Bay for a few things, as Sunday there aren’t that many people in the stores that we needed to go to. We had a nice trip to town and, while there, had lunch in our car and enjoyed a coffee on our way home that my wife made before we left. I don’t care much for any coffee that is being sold in coffee shops these days. It’s just not the same as what my wife makes. The price you have to pay for it in the coffee shops is outrageous, too. I don’t know how they justify it. But then again, the price of things have to go up, with the wages folks are being paid. Not much we can do about it now, that we have become a society of want. Today I will get to work in my woodworking shop setting things up for winter. I have a huge amount of orders to fill, which with my podcasts and stories that need to be written, will probably take me most of the winter. So lots to do. But I do enjoy doing these things. With that I am off once again for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring Ontario. I am thinking we will see some sunshine later on with the weather improving. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 11.6 C | 52.88 F with the winds coming in from the SSW. It will warm up as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is still busy, but not as much traffic as there was a couple of weeks ago. Which is nice for a change. On another note, I finished painting my front door yesterday, well … I still have to put on one more coat. It looks pretty nice. It’s these cosmetic things that brings everything together. Furthermore, it’s like building a Million-Dollar House. If you don’t landscape it properly, it won’t look as it should. No appeal. The thing is, you don’t need a Million Dollar home. An old home to me with a great landscape and a bit of land is what it is all about. If someone bought an older home, put some money into the landscaping, fixed up the inside along with some paint, it would beat any Million Dollar home hands down. Today people have to have huge homes, and if you were to take a close look at them, you would find that there is probably no more than two or three people living in them. All that space costs money to keep maintained. To me, they are just cold in looks and comfort. But to each their own. Today I am going to work in my woodworking shop getting things ready to make a bunch of orders I have lined up for next spring. Along with that, we are planning on having a grand new re-opening next spring, after being closed for the past two years. That is, if things goes to plan with this virus that is among us. I think things will settle down as time goes by, that is, if people start doing what they should be doing. It’s still not the time to let down our defences, as this virus is out to get us humans. And for those that don’t believe that … well, good luck! With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. Stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today My old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM and then again from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!

Good Morning! It’s a not so bad day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun after struggling has made an appearance and should remain with us for most of the day. But in saying that, we will probably see some showers or rain later on in the day. It’s that time of year, folks, when anything is possible. Something like what we are dealing with, with this virus. It is a nice time of year though, the leaves are changing colour, no bugs hardly to speak of, things have quieted down with the tourists back in the city and the fishing is pretty good. And along with all that, most of all my wife’s and my outside work has been completed. Front porch sittin is in the works!! The temperature this morning isn’t as cool as it was yesterday morning, sitting at 15.3 C | 59.54 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. Today I am going to paint our front door as it is starting to show signs of wear. Best to get it out of the way before the real cold hits. The paint sticks better at the moment. LOL After that … who knows. So with that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW
