Good Morning. With the way things are going, it looks like we might have some more rain off and on throughout the day. However, tomorrow things take a change for the better with some real nice weather moving into our area. Not as hot, less humidity and lots of sunshine. Which should last well into next week. Actually, there might be a day or so later on in the week, that a jacket might be necessary. Hmm, maybe I should get my long handles out of storage. LOL Just seems like yesterday I put them away for the summer. Highway 522 is still busy, as is Highway 11 and 69. Yesterday my lovely wife and I went to North Bay to pick up some groceries before the long weekend, and we noticed a lot of campers, trucks with boats, you name it heading back to the cities. So in that department things haven’t changed much. In town, there were lots of folks in the stores and going everywhere. You wouldn’t know there was a virus among us. Which, of course, will make the number of infections rise even more than it is now. We were up over the 800 a day yesterday here in Ontario. I suspect it will get a lot worse before it gets better. The unvaccinated are the ones that takes the largest hit. I feel for them, but there isn’t much anyone can do about it. They made their own choice. While in town we ate our lunch in our car, took in what the city had to offer and headed on home chatting to our sons on the phone. It’s nice to be able to chat to them. Even if we haven’t seen each other much over the past two years. We also noticed that a lot of the leaves are turning colour along the way, along with a few flocks of Canadian Geese heading south. I kind of think they should be staying up here for a few more weeks, where it’s cool. But … nature has a mind of its own. Today if it doesn’t rain I will work up a spot in my vegetable garden and plant some more lettuce, which should last us for the remainder of the summer. We have been eating tomatoes for the past month along with selling a few baskets out front of our home on a trailer we have set up. We also have had an abundance of Zucchini this year. I put out a wheelbarrow load yesterday, and most of them sold before we got home from grocery shopping. With that bit of info under your hat … if you wear a hat, I am off for my morning bowl off cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: This morning, my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there catching a few will be between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM and then again from 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM. I give it a 2-star rating out of 5 for catching a few. If you are heading out, I would suggest you bring along your raincoat. Good Luck!

Good Morning. Once again it is a nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning with one difference than yesterday. The temperature has cooled off, sitting at 14.6 C | 58.28 F. It will rise a wee bit as the day progresses. But not as hot as it was, and the humidity will be left behind. This is the kind of weather I enjoy. The thing is, I have most of all the outside work that we wanted to do this summer finished, LOL. But that’s okay, as now my lovely wife and I can enjoy what we have accomplished and relax a bit. Maybe even do some fishing. I will wait a few days, though, until the fish become accustomed to the cooler weather. Highway 522 is busy, but it is slowing down a wee bit. I suspect it is because everyone is leaving cottage country heading back to the big cities, getting things ready for their kids to go back to school. Is that a good thing? I don’t think so, but there are a lot that does. Time will tell, as even now the infection rate from this virus in Ontario and across Canada is rising every day. For my wife and I, even though we have had our two Pfizer Shots, we are still wearing a mask when around people, keeping our distance and only going to places that is absolutely necessary. Along with a lot of sanitary precautions, like washing our hands and groceries after being out amongst others or stores. I don’t think this is the time to let down our defences. The thing is even though we have had our shots we can still pass it to others that doesn’t have them. Anyway, enough of that. I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today our old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM and then again from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM. I give it a 1-star rating out of 5 for catching a few. Not the greatest day, but you never know. Good Luck!

Good Morning. Once again we are having some fine weather here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, with a bit of haze. It will be very warm once again today, but then … things start to change for the better. Meaning it will cool down some. Which is okay by me, as I am not a lover of the really hot weather. And on top of that, I would like to do some fishing, now that I have my boat and motor almost ready to go. And a place to clean the fish we catch, as I finished up my new fish cleaning station that I have been working on for the past two days. It’s amazing what you can do if you just do it. I didn’t have any plans to work with and just went with it, and it turned out pretty nice. If I do say so myself. LOL Today my lovely wife and I have mowing to do, which we will get to shortly, before it gets to hot. After that we will see. I am thinking I will see if my old motor on the boat will start, as I haven’t had it running for almost two years. And if things goes to plan, I will hook up my old fish finder. Not that I really use it that much, but it is nice to know where the shoals are, as that is usually where the good size fish hang around. Not on top, but around the edges. But you all know that, right? LOL, Highway 522 is still very busy these days, which is to be expected, since we opened things back up and allowed people in from other countries. And they are coming … in droves. Let’s hope things work out for the best. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, which has a lot of good in it for staying healthy. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today, my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be catching fish will be between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Then again a bit later on in the day between7:30 PM and 9:00 PM. It won’t be the greatest day for fishing as all this hot weather has made them lazy along with hiding down deep where it is cool. But you never know. I give it a 1-star rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck! GW

Good Morning! It looks like we are in for another hot day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is red, which is a sign that things are going to get a bit warm. We should see some reprieve in a couple of days. Which is okay with me as being so hot it is hard to even do some front porch sittin’ Highway 522 is still very busy these days and I suspect it will remain that way until the kids are back in school. Which I don’t think is a good idea, as a lot of them aren’t vaccinated for this virus. The numbers are rising every day now since we opened back up. We are up over the 700 a day now. Kind of a shame, as we did have it under control. Another month and we would have been in a lot better shape. But it’s par for the course these days. On another note, I worked building a fish cleaning station yesterday and darn near finished it. I made it out of left over material that I had lying around. It turned out pretty nice too. Today I will stain the bottom of it and move it to where we want it. That should keep me busy for most of the day. It’s nice doing these kinds of projects. Things that we wouldn’t usually do for ourselves. I will post a picture when all said and done With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. This is no time to let down your defences, that’s for sure. GW

Fishing Times: My old weather stick is saying that fishing will be the best from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM and then later on from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM. Good luck and stay safe. GW
