Good Morning! It looks like we are going to have another hot day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed wasn’t so bad, sitting at18.8 C | 65.84 F. But that will change as the temperature will rise as the day progress’s. And with hot weather like this, we could see a thunderstorm thrown in for good measure later on. It looks like we will have another 3 days of this heat before things start to cool down a bit. I have to admit, I am not a lover of this heat. Highway 522 is still busy with lots of new faces around town. Home Hardware was so busy yesterday, people were lined up at the cash register. Which in turn states that our small community is getting busier and busier every year. Along with new folks buying up pretty well anything and everything. Is it a good thing? Time will tell. Yesterday in the morning I decided to put up another outside light on the side of our cottage by the barbecue along with a plug and an on and off switch. That way, if folks decide to have a barbecue late in the day, they will have light to see what they are doing. The plug is for the Grill Rotisserie, or what ever. It took me all morning and a bit of the afternoon. After that we chatted to our son on the phone for a spell, had a shower and relaxed. Today, I plan on starting to build a fish cleaning station onto the side of our shower house, that my wife and I built earlier in the year. I have a few ideas in mind, so we will see how that pans out. If it gets to hot later on, I will call it a day. With that I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is making me and will then get to work. Have a great day and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today, my old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there fishing will be from 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM. Then again later on from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM. In spite of the heat, the fishing could be very good later on in the day. I give it a 5-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. There should be no problem catching a few for the table today. But then again … you never know. Oh, and it might pay to take a rain coat with you if you’re out on the water and of course your hat. We don’t want anyone getting wet or sunstroke. LOL Good Luck!

Good Morning. It’s another nice looking morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Other than being a touch warm. There are heat warnings up for the next couple of days. Today we could see temperatures reaching near the 95 Degree F mark or 35C. With the humidity, it will feel even warmer. Might pay to keep the drapes in your home closed this morning to keep out the heat. Just a thought. Highway 522 is very busy these days. Yesterday, my wife and I managed to get the mowing all done in the morning. I then did some repair work on some equipment in the afternoon until it got to hot. Today being so hot, I am going to stain the back deck. In doing so, it will dry nicely. That I will do this morning while it isn’t so bad outside. Then I am thinking I will just take it easy for the rest of the day. Maybe have a cool drink with my lovely wife under a shade tree later on. The good news is my wife and I are slowly getting everything done up that we wanted to do this year, and then some. Once it cools down some, we will be taking some time off from things to do some fishing, and taking in what nature has to offer out on the water. Looking forward to it. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. Take care and stay safe.

Fishing Times: The best times to be out there today will be from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and then again from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. The best place to find them would be in the shady areas along the shore lines. Also, make sure, if you’re out on the water, you bring along lots of drinking water and wear a hat. Good Luck!

Good Morning! It’s another nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, other than being at touch warm. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at17.9 C | 64.22 F. It will actually become quite hot later on in the day, and this heat ridge will last for the next 5 days. At least that is what it is looking like now. Tomorrow we could reach as high as 90 F/32C. Maybe even higher. So a cool place would be the place to find for the next few days. Highway 522 is still busy. I also see a lot of Americans now back up in the north, checking out their cottages. Yesterday, my wife and I went to North Bay for some groceries. Lots of people shopping. We picked up what we needed and headed on back home. We had a nice day. Furthermore, we also noticed that the leaves on the trees are starting to turn colour. Actually, they started to turn a week ago. A touch early this year. I guess they need a rest. Can’t say I blame them as we have had a busy year too. It also should be noted that this is one of the best years without a lot of them blood sucking parasites bothering us humans. The heat makes short work of them. Today is mowing day for my lovely wife and I, which we want to get done before it gets to hot. So with that in mind I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store other than what we have planned. We always start off in one direction, but … you never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: The best time to be out there fishing will be from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM, and then later on in the day from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!!

Good Morning! It’s a foggy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We didn’t have any rain overnight, but it is damp. Our temperature here in town is sitting at 15.8 C | 60.44 F. It will get pretty hot as the day moves forward, and it will remain very warm for the next 4 days. So I would suggest that if you have any outside work to be done, to do it in the early morning hours while it is cool. Once this warm spell is over … in a few days, things will get back to normal, or as some would say seasonal. Highway 522 is still busy, very busy, actually. The busiest store in town is the LCBO, LOL. On another note, even though our small store is closed because of the virus, people are still coming in knocking at our door for flutes, my books and my wife’s paintings. We don’t have things displayed nicely, but we do accommodate most bringing some things to show them outside. Next spring we will have a grand new opening with a lot of new products. Today I am going to finish working on our boat, getting it ready for fishing. I have been working on it now for the past two days. After that, I will be heading out with my good friend Barry (My Fishing Buddy) and see if we can hook on a nice pickerel or two.

Fishing Times: The best times to be out there fishing today will be between 9:00 AM- and 11:00 AM and then a bit later on from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Good Luck and Remember, when it comes to this virus. Masking works, distancing works, washing your hands works, and ventilation in schools homes and business’s work well too. And of course the vaccines, Pfizer or Moderna. All these things will slow the virus from spreading, or for that matter … getting stronger.

Now get out there and catch some fish!!

Good Morning! It’s a great looking day here in Port Loring, Ontario. We did have a brief shower early this morning, but nothing to write home about. The temperature is pretty nice this morning, sitting at 16.6 C | 61.88 F. It will warm up as the day moves forward, and we can expect some very hot weather for the next few days. Highway 522 is still very busy with folks coming in from all over. On another note, we are eating tomatoes these days from our vegetable garden, and I have to tell you … they are sure tasty. You can’t beat organic tomatoes, right from the garden to the plate. I have been eating three or so every day, LOL. We are also enjoying our cucumbers and zucchini. My wife makes us a cucumber sandwich with miracle whip for lunch, along with fresh cut up tomatoes on the side with a piece of old 4-year-old cheddar cheese. A cup of fresh perked coffee afterwards on the front porch finishes things off. Yep, life is rough for my wife and I, LOL. But it didn’t come easy the life we are living now, we worked very hard over the years to get what we have. But all that work paid off, and now we are enjoying the remainder of our days. The thing is, we have to start taking things a bit easier, LOL. This year, my lovely wife and I have gotten more things done than the last two years running. Every year it seems we sit back in the fall wondering how we accomplished so much. Yesterday I took the day and cleaned up my old boat that I haven’t used in two years because of this virus. Got it looking pretty good now. Today I will do some repairs on the boat trailer. I made a runway, so you can walk from the front of the trailer to the back of the trailer, which makes it so much nicer for loading and unloading the boat. It also saves me from getting my feet wet. The planks I was using have seen their day, so I am going to replace them. Then I will see if it runs. I went and picked up some fresh gas yesterday before I quit for the day. Once that is all done, I think some fishing is in order. My fishing buddy Barry called me yesterday wondering if I had my boat ready. I told him I was working on it. We have some good old times out there, the two of us, and along with that we catch fish.

Fishing Times: The best time to be out there today will be 4:30 PM-6:30 PM. I give it a 2-star rating for catching a few. Not the best day, but I am thinking you should be able to have fish for supper. A later supper, that is. With that, take care and stay safe. GW
