Good Morning! Another fantastic day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, and the temperature was sitting at 16.7 C | 62.06 F. And by the looks of things we will be having lots of sunshine for most of the day. Actually, it looks like we will be having a good amount of sunshine for the next month or so, with just a chance of rain here and there. Can’t beat that. But hey! We do live in one of the best areas in Canada at the moment. Highway 522 is still busy, which is to be expected at this time of year. Yesterday I decided to take a half a day and weed my vegetable garden as it was sure getting out of control. The reason for that was that we have been so busy we neglected it. But after a bit of work it is back to where it should be. At least we can see our tomatoes now, LOL. I then did some painting on the trim work of our shower house that we built earlier in the year. Today I will be moving some plants to different areas on our property that the wife has been asking me to do for the past month. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store.

Fishing Times: The best times to be fishing today would be between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM, I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck! And stay safe. The numbers are rising here in Ontario with this virus as every day goes by.

Good Morning! We are having a trend weather wise here in Port Loring, Ontario these days. The weather has been just about perfect for this time of year. The days have cooled down, lots of sunshine and not too much humidity. What could be better than that? Not much in my books. Waking up, the temperature was sitting at 14 C | 57.2 F. It will warm up as the day progresses. It should also be noted that this nice weather will stay with us for the next few weeks. Which is fine with me, as I am hoping to get my boat cleaned up and the motor running, so we can get out and do some fishing. A nice pickerel dinner would sure be nice for a change. But I will have to see what happens as I haven’t had it running for a couple of years. Should be okay. The fishing so far hasn’t been the greatest with the heat, but they are catching a few. At least that is the word I am getting from some friends of mine. Highway 522 is still very busy these days with lots of campers, you name it, moving from east to west. Yesterday, I finished installing the new boards on the back deck of our home. I will let them dry a bit for a few days, and then I will put a good deck stain over them. In this country you need something to protect the wood, especially on the north side of a home where it doesn’t get much sun. Today I have a bit of staining to do around the facer-board of the shower house we built earlier in the year. My lovely wife decorated the inside yesterday, which brought everything together. It’s pretty nice, for sure. Better than some homes that I have seen over the years, LOL With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Being such a nice day, it would be a shame to waste it doing nothing. Although doing nothing is a bit enticing, LOL. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning. Once again we are having another great day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. There should be no complaints about the weather, at least where I live. Also, a lot of the humidity has left us this morning, which makes it just that much better. Highway 522 is slow this morning, but it is early. Things will pick up, I am sure, later on. The campgrounds are full this year with people coming in from all over. I can’t say I blame them. Actually, they were full before they opened the borders with our own people. Kind of interesting. This is my favourite time of the year. Hardly no bugs to speak of and the weather is usually really nice. And to top that all off … the fishing will start to improve every day now right up until the end of September. I am trying to find time to get my boat cleaned up and running. With all my lovely wife and I have been doing around and in our home, we haven’t found the time. I will see how that goes in the coming days. I haven’t put the boat in the water for almost two years because of this virus. But with the vaccines and the knowledge we now know, I am thinking it should be okay. I will think on it, LOL. Yesterday I worked on my back deck, and today I am hoping I will be able to get the boards all laid down. After that, I will let it climatize a wee bit, and then stain it the colour of our cottage deck I just built. I bought extra at the time because it was on sale. With that I am off for some homemade cranberry pancakes my wife is making me and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. The numbers of infections are rising every day here in Ontario, now that we opened back up. GW

Good Morning! So how you all doing on this fine Friday the 13th? Good I hope. Actually thinking about Friday the 13th, I have found over the years that for me, it is a lucky day. I guess it all boils down to what you believe in. Highway 522 is still busy these days, not much happening there, and it will remain that way for another month or so before things start to slow down. I have to admit that I am ready for a rest, and other than the real cold weather and snow, winter is starting to look pretty good. With things to do getting ready for winter, my lovely wife and I are about set. She still has to do up a few things like our peppers and cucumbers that we grow in our gardens. She also likes to do up some relish and things using our zucchini and tomatoes. I have to say, they sure are tasty after she works her magic, and I look forward to them every winter. Oh … you can buy most things in the stores these days, but they sure don’t taste as good as if you made them yourself using your own homegrown produce. Most things you buy in the stores these days have no taste at all, and if they don’t have the taste or the smell that they should be giving off, there isn’t much good in them. I suspect that is why a lot of people these days aren’t well. On another note, yesterday, my wife and I got our mowing done. It took most of the morning. It looks like a well groomed park anywhere you go on our property. I get up some mornings thinking of how lucky we are to have and live where we are now. And the thing is, we own it, at least for a little while. Nothing lasts forever. Today I will work away on our back deck, installing the new boards. Yesterday after mowing I treated the under parts of the deck with a good wood preserver, which will keep the things no one sees from rotting over time. It’s like a house, if the foundation isn’t done right, the house on top, isn’t worth a damn, LOL. I guess you could say life is like that too. And by the look of things in today’s world, I am thinking there are a lot of people that missed out on their foundation. Figure of speech, my friends, figure of speech. LOL With that I am off for my breakfast and will then see what the day has in store. I think I will quit early today and take in what our property has to offer with my lovely wife. Maybe a cool drink or two will be in order, LOL. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning waking up here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature waking up was sitting at … 21.6 C | 70.88 F, it will warm up another 10 Degrees or so as the day progresses. With this humidity, it will feel quite warm. Last night we had a good downpour, but it only lasted for a half hour or so. But it did give all the trees and things a good drink, which they need. Along with that, all the rain we have been having is helping a lot with keeping the forest fires in our are at bay. Highway 522 is still busy these days, as is our stores here in town, with a lot of new people moving around looking for things to do. If you’re wanting to go shopping in a lot of stores, this isn’t the town to be in, LOL. But we do have a couple. Our small store has been closed now for two years. Thanks to this virus that is among us. We didn’t feel a few extra dollars was enough justification to keep it open. Or to get others along with ourselves sick. Next year, we will have a grand new opening with lots of new flutes, books and a real nice display of my wife’s paintings along with a bunch of new products. Yesterday I did manage to get the old boards off our back deck and fix a few things. It was really hot working out there, and I had to stop around 4:00 PM and call it a day. I was all in but my shoe laces. Felt good to have a shower and put my feet up. Today, my lovely wife and I have mowing to do around our property, which will take up most of the day. My wife’s leg isn’t the greatest yet, so she is easing back into things in spite of me telling her to take it easy. Maybe I will have to hide the mower. LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. The numbers of people getting infected are starting to rise now, since they have opened back up. And I suspect it will get a lot worse before it starts to get better. Especially with the unvaccinated folks. I feel for them, but as they keep saying … it is their choice. Be it good or bad. Have a good day. GW
