Good Morning from Port Loring. Ontario that is. To start things off it is a cloudy day. We could see some sunshine today, but I don’t expect much. But tomorrow is another story, where we will be having sunshine for most of the day. Also, the rest of the week is looking superb, with warmer temperatures and lots of sunshine. What could be better than that? Not much in my eyes. Highway 522 is bare and dry. We had no snow overnight, and I am hoping we have seen the last of it for this year. On another note, I didn’t do too much yesterday, kind of took things easy. Today I will work in the shop on a few things I have on the go. After that I don’t know. The reason for that is … I never know what a day has in store. I plan one thing and then something else comes along, and what I planned on doing never gets done. Actually … I like it that way in one sense, as it makes life interesting. So far this morning I lit the shop stove and got the wood furnace going in the house here. I don’t suspect we will be needing them much more, but I figured the wood heat would take the chill off things, and make my shop nicer to work in. And … I save a bit of oil for later. I have lots of wood this year left over, as with it being so warm we didn’t burn as much. Which is okay, as we will have lots for this coming winter. I did order another 8 cords or so, just to top things up. I always like to have a two-year supply on hand. Why is that? Glad you asked. For one thing, after piled up where it is out of the weather, it is nice and dry when the time comes to use it. Another thing is, with the way the world is going today, having my heat supply put way makes me feel better. All my life I have always had a back-up plan for everything. With that bit of info under your hat … I am off for my bacon and eggs this morning, that my lovely wife is making for me. I don’t have them much, but every so often, I get the urge to indulge so to speak. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, And a touch cool with the temperature sitting at -7.8 C | 17.96 F. But not to worry, it will warm up as the day progresses, and if we are real lucky we will have a bit of sunshine off and on for most of the day. The long range for temperatures is looking good. Every day for the next couple of weeks, will be well above the freezing point, with a few days edging up to near 60F/15C. Which in turn will get rid of what snow we do have now. I am looking forward to it. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. Yesterday I worked away here on my computer, finishing up a new podcast, and a story for my columns in Newspapers. Today I will do the same. I might try out a new battery charger I bought, that arrived yesterday, just to make sure it is working properly, and everything I want. If not back she goes. LOL With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal, and will then see what the day has to offer, other than what I am planning. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. There is a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak, relating to this virus that is among us. But … just because there is a light beginning to show itself, doesn’t mean we should let down our defences. Have a great day. GW

Good Morning! Another cold morning here in Port Loring Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -13.4 C | 7.88 F. It is sunny though which is nice. Today will remain cool all day, but tomorrow things will change for the better. With temperatures reaching up into the 40s F. Or 5 C for those that use the metric system. Not me … I still like the old way of doing things. The metric to me was brought about, by those that wanted to fool the public into believing things that aren’t true. You believe what ever you want. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning and will stay that way all day. Which will make travelling good for those that are in need of a few things. Yesterday I worked here on my computer and today will do much the same. On another note, we are still burning wood in the house here with it being so cold. Tomorrow we will switch back over to oil for a bit once it warms up. I only burn wood when it gets down to about the freezing mark. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal which keeps the blood pressure in check LOL, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care and stay safe. This virus is getting worse, not better in a lot of areas. This new variant is a real aggressive sort, and can infect you with in seconds.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -4.3 C | 24.26 F. We should see a wee bit of sunshine off and on throughout the day. It will remain cold till Tuesday and then things will start to warm back up above the freezing mark. Which will get rid of some more snow. We lost over half of it, but there is still lots to go. In the bushes though, it is all but gone. With the trees moving their sap up to the branches it causes a warming trend, which in turn starts the snow to melt. Mother nature is amazing. It is also very windy this morning with a north wind which makes it feel a lot colder than it really is. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, so travelling will be good. But it is best to stay home unless you have to go out with this virus among us. And lately I see a lot of folks from out of town roaming around. Not a good thing. With that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work on a podcast I have on the go. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning!. It’s another sunny day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun sure makes it feel nice when outside. The air is cool though, and we did have a wee bit of ice on the creek that runs behind my house. The temperature was sitting at -13.6 C | 7.52 F which will rise as the day progresses. We should see the sun off and on throughout most of the day. I hope so, as I have some outside work to get done. Will tell you about that when all said and done. The outside work is kind of a treat for my wife and I. Actually waited 17 years for it. LOL Anyways will let you in on it later. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning which will make travelling good. The snow is about half gone. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. And don’t forget that the clocks (in most of Canada) will go forward an hour at 2 a.m. Sunday Not that I am going to get up at that time to change them LOL I will wait till when I usually get up to do that. LOL. GW
