Good Morning. It’s another sunny morning here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. And if things go to plan, it should remain with us, along with some clouds, for most of the day. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 16.9 C | 62.42 F, with the winds coming out of the N West at 4.68 km/h | 2.91 mph. The barometer is rising, which is a good thing. At least weather wise. Highway 522 is still busy these days. We will see how that goes now that the kids are heading back to school next week. Hard to say, as a lot of people are working from home these days, caused by the virus. And as hard as it is to say … a lot of folks don’t want to go back to work. Reason being, they are still getting the money that the government is handing out. I actually know some business that can’t find help and might have to close down. Strange world we live in these days. But, being the country we are, I suspect things will be getting a lot worse in that department. Yesterday, my wife and I worked around our home. I decided to move our weather station to a better location. We moved it and attached it to our new shower house we built earlier in the year. Now that we took down a bunch of trees that needed to be taken down, things are opened up a lot, which makes it just perfect for our weather station to monitor things. I like it a lot, as now I can keep an eye on it from my desk. That will be nice all winter as it will give me something different to look at. And I do enjoy watching and predicting the weather. I have been working with it for most of my life using different methods that my old Dad and Grandfather used, along with my Native friend’s Grey Wolf’s knowledge. For most parts it has been pretty accurate. Today I have my shop to clean up once again. It seems when ever I get to doing things at the end I have a mess to clean up. Not complaining mind ya. With that, I am off for some cranberry pancakes my lovely wife is making me with some Maple Syrup that my friend Mike gave us awhile back. He was the world’s champion a year or so ago. Nice fellow. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be catching fish are between 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and then again from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck! Oh, don’t forget your raincoat. It might come in handy.

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. But it isn’t as cool as it was yesterday morning. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at13.9 C | 57.02 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. Today will be much like yesterday and if lucky we could see some more sunshine later on. Yesterday turned out nice after a bit, let’s hope today is much the same. The long weekend isn’t looking too good weather wise with showers in the forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday and possibly a light shower on Tuesday. But you never know. I am hoping for sunshine. Highway 522 is very busy these days, with lots of trucks, campers, you name it going from east to west. I say that, as it is the only road in and out of our town. LOL Yesterday my lovely wife and I got the mowing all done up. Then the fellow that helped me take down some trees came by with his small excavator and took them away. He will make some lumber out of them, so they won’t go to waste. Nice fellow and knows his stuff. Today I am going to work on my old Rototiller as it needs a new drive belt. Not an easy job. I don’t know why they make it so hard to change the damn things. First you have to take a picture or draw a diagram, so you know how to put the new belt back on, with the belt having to be woven through numerous pulleys. So we will see how that works out. I am thinking it will take me most of the day. At least it did a few years ago when I changed it. With that, I am off for some French Toast that my wife is making me, and then I will get to work. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy, cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F. We could see some sunshine, but for most parts we will be in the midst of a lot of clouds. The temperature will rise up some, as the day moves forward. Highway 522 was pretty busy yesterday, all chalked up to the long weekend that is coming up. Bug Report: The mosquitoes in certain places are still bad, but the others are dwindling. Which is good in one way but bad in other ways. Especially if you’re camping, as them blood seeking parasites find you within minutes. Not much you can do as this is truth be told their home. On another note, my lovely wife and I managed to get the mess cleaned up that was made from taking down trees yesterday. Opened things up around our home and things are looking darn nice. This morning we will get the mowing out of the way for the week, which will make it look even that much nicer. I have to tell you … my wife and I sure enjoy doing some front porch sittin’ taking in our property and what Mother Nature has to offer, Even more so now after all the outside work we both have done this year. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and maybe a piece of toast this morning for a change. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a great looking Sept 1st day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning with the temperature sitting at 8.8 C | 47.84 F. Which, as you can see, that things have cooled down a lot. It will warm up as the day moves forward. But not as warm as it was. And along with that, I don’t suspect we will get any rain until Sunday. And then it won’t amount to much. Highway 522 has quieted down somewhat with the kids getting ready to go back to school. On another note, we have once again been busy taking down some more trees. We took down 15 earlier in the year, my wife and I by ourselves. But there were still four that were leaning the wrong way. So we hired a feller to take them down. I have to say he did a fantastic job. After he left, my wife and I got busy and cleaned things up, which was a job in itself. And we aren’t finished yet. Today we will finish it. But we did get the bulk of the work done yesterday. I do have a couple more small dead ones to come down, which, if I can drum up enough energy, will do later on in the day. First things first. After that, I think we should have all our projects we planned on doing this year completed and then some. It is hard to believe we did what we did. LOL, I don’t know where we got all our energy this year. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW

Taking Down More Trees That Needed to be done.

Good Morning! It looks like it is shaping up to be a nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning and as of now the humidity has left us. The temperatures have dropped substantially and truth be told it will be a pleasant day. Getting out of bed, the temperature was sitting at 18.1 C | 64.58 F. It will warm up a bit, but not as much as it has been. The good news is we didn’t have any tornados in our are yesterday or through the night. They did however have one north of North Bay, but I don’t think it did do much damage. But looking at our weather and how it is changing I am thinking over the next few years we will be having some not so good weather. Humans are to blame a wee bit, but there are a lot of other factors that we have to take into account too. Like one would be that our earth from the inside is getting hotter and edging up. Let’s hope things will straighten out in the coming years. If the virus wasn’t bad enough … sheesh. Highway 522 is still busy, but it is slowing down somewhat. Man we are almost into September, hard to believe as to me the summer has flown by. Yesterday I worked in our basement fixing a few things that needed to be done. Today I am going to paint the walls down there. I will see how that works out. I like to get it done while I can have the windows open. And before we put in firewood for winter. Which won’t be long. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. Life is a mystery. Take care and stay safe. GW
