Good Morning! It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. There are a few clouds, but the sun is managing to show itself. Yesterday we had another 2 inches of snow, not enough to get my snowblower out. I will wait on that as it is very cold this morning with the temperature sitting at -18.6 C | -1.48 F. It’s the coldest morning so far this winter. Things were crunchy when I went out to put some wood in my shop stove. Highway 522 is bare and dry for most parts, with a few icy sections throughout. Travelling should be fair today other than putting up with the cold. It would be a good idea to put a heavy blanket in your car and keep your CAA number handy just in case. You never know what might happen in this part of the country. Yesterday I worked on a Christmas show for my podcast and will continue on with it today. It’s too cold to be outside today. I might bundle up and go for a quick walk around the paths I made on our property. For some exercise. I will see how ambitious I am later on. Other than that not much happening in and around town these days. Folks I suspect are getting ready for Christmas which isn’t that far off. It’s amazing how fast this year has gone by. With that I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery. Take care, stay safe and look after yourselves, family and friends. And most of all … stay out of the crowded stores and don’t have company come over. Talk on the phone or ?

Good Morning! It looks like the heavy snow has passed us by for now, here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We did however have around 10 inches or so in the last two days. I have to admit my wife and I did have a work out. But it does keep us fit if we don’t over do things. It is easier on me this year having my friend Kerry Booth clean our driveway for us. We have done it for years but are finding it is just too much for us now. So the answer to that is. “Get some help.” LOL Which we did. We still have lots to do though, along with helping our neighbour who is in her 90s. Highway 522 was bare this morning, but now we are getting some more snow and the highway is covered once again. And along with that there are icy sections on the turns and places where care should be taken. Yesterday my lovely wife and I cleaned up our snow, which took most of the day and today we will take it a bit easy. Give ourselves some rest. I might work on a podcast that I have in the works. I will see if the urge hits. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal and then will let the day do as it so chooses. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right to protect yourself, family and friends.

Hi Folks. It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We are also having a bit of snow which will continue all day, tonight and into tomorrow. We can expect around 15 to 25 cm or near 10 inches of snow this weekend. Snow will begin this morning, but the heaviest snow is expected in the afternoon and evening hours when snowfall rates of 2 to 3 cm per hour will be possible. Gusty northeast winds to 60 km/h will combine with fresh snow to create blowing and drifting snow, particularly in exposed areas. For areas near and south of North Bay, freezing rain is also a possibility tonight. So … knowing that I would think it would be a good day to stay home, and hey! Maybe put up your Christmas tree, that is if you haven’t already. That is what my wife is going to do today at our home. The temperature is hovering around -2.4 C | 27.68 F. Cooler than it was yesterday, but still not too bad for this time of year. Highway 522 is slowly getting a cover of snow, and I suspect it will get much worse as the day moves forward with this storm in our midst. Today I will take it a bit easy, Not feeling the greatest. So with that I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then enjoy the day for what it is. Take care, Stay Safe and do what’s necessary to protect yourself, family and friends with this virus. GW

Good Morning!. It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We haven’t seen any sunshine now for around three days. The temperature though, has remained quite warm for this time of year sitting at 1.4 C | 34.52 F. It will start to cool down some as the day progresses’s. We also have a storm watch, for our area, and those around us, starting tomorrow. Snow will begin Saturday morning and last into Sunday. The heaviest snow is expected Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. We can expect 10 to 25 cm or 4 to 10 Inches. I have no use for the metric system, as all that did was cost us a bundle of taxpayers’ money, along with other things I won’t get into. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning and should remain that way for most of the day. I would think if you’re in need of some groceries, or? This would be the day to get them. For my wife and I we have all we need for a few weeks. Which is a good thing to have on hand in this neck of the woods. Yesterday I didn’t do too much. Taking it easy. I have been keeping my woodworking shop stove going though, as it is nice to go out there when it is nice and warm. It also makes it nice having all my equipment warm and ready to use when I feel the urge. LOL I suspect my snow blower will be getting another work out on Sunday when this storm is finished. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. “Stay safe, protect each other, Love each other… but I think it is best not to get together this year for Christmas,” If we all do that, things will be a lot better for everyone, after Christmas And Hey! It isn’t for ever.

Good Morning!. It’s a bit cloudy here in Port Loring, Ontario this morning. We should see some sunshine later on this morning. Yesterday after the clouds moved out of the area, we had a really nice day. I took advantage of it and brought a couple of wheelbarrow loads of dry pine I have in my bush for the shop stove. I don’t like burning up my nice dry hardwood, I save that for the wood furnace in the house. I then dug out a nice chopping blog I had lying around by the wood pile, which I planned on doing now for the past year or so. It never ceases to amaze me, how you know you should do something, but you never do it. The chopping block raises the wood up so you can split it easier, and it also is easier on the old back. LOL I then did a bit of work in the woodworking shop and later on in the day I did some work on a podcast I have on the go. There is always something to do. This morning I will do some more work in my shop, and then take it a bit easy in the afternoon. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning so that will make it nice for travelling. My wife and I don’t have to go anywhere for a couple of weeks, other than the post office. Which makes it nice as that way we don’t have to be around folks we don’t know. Best to be safe, then sorry with this virus among us. Other than that, not much happening in our small community these days. Now I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then see what the day has in store. I just make the plans, the results … who knows. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right for yourself, family and friends. We are getting closer every day to the vaccine that hopefully starts to put an end to this mess we have been in for the past few months.

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy day starting things off here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. We did have some sunshine later on in the day yesterday, and I suspect it will be about the same today. It is cold outside with the temperature sitting at -8.5 C | 16.7 F. It should warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Not much though, but if we do get some sunshine it will make it feel a lot nicer than it is. LOL. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning for most parts. There are some icy sections here and there … most, as I keep on saying going around the curves. You would think that would be the place they salt the most. LOL On another note my lovely wife put up some decorations outside and inside for Christmas. I have to say they do look nice, and they do get you in the spirit of Christmas. You know … I have been hearing a lot of folks saying that Christmas won’t be Christmas this year with this virus. Yes … that will be true for all those that have lost family members and friends. But Christmas in itself hasn’t changed. Not one bit. We all have exactly what we had last year, other than maybe doing a bit of shopping in the malls and visiting a wee bit. For my wife and I, even though we can’t see our boys, we are not going to let it get us down, not by a long shot. We will still have our Christmas tree, turkey dinner with all the trimmings and to top things off, we will be all watching our favourite movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. My wife and I along with our boys have been watching that movie every Christmas since it came out. Kind of a tradition around here. It will however be a touch different this year though as we can’t be together totally. So what we will be doing is using our laptop along with the phone … setting them up, so we can all be chatting together watching the movie at the same time. Everything will be the same but different. My old Dad always told me when something isn’t right, make it right. That is what that thing is on your shoulders is for. LOL I miss that old feller. At any rate that is what we are going to do. Every day is what you make it. If you let this virus get the better of you … it will. My family and I choose not to let that happen. Where there is a will there is a way of doing things, no matter what. With that, I am off for my cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then see what our day has to offer. As I always say every day is like a mystery novel. You just never know what the ending will be. “Stay safe, protect each other, love each other… but don’t get together this Christmas,”

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature was sitting at -7.9 C | 17.78 F. It will warm up but not much as the day moves forward. The good part is we should see some sunshine later on today, tomorrow and the next day. That will be a welcome change. It seems no matter how cold it is, if the sun is shinning everything is better. Highway 522 is bare and dry for most parts. There are some icy sections here and there, so care should be taken on the curves. On another note my wife and I went to North Bay yesterday to pick up some groceries we order online. That way we don’t have to go into the stores. It was a nice trip in and back home. It’s good to get out once in a while and breathe some new air. While there we visited our son from the parking lot at his apartment, dropped him off a few homemade dinners his Mother made for him, and then drove around a bit, just to take in what others are doing, virus wise. And from what I see it’s not good, as the parking lots around the stores were full, along with the stores. It was actually hard to find a parking spot to eat our lunch that my wife made for us before we left. I am not sure where folks minds are these days, as with shopping online and curb side pick- up what more could you ask for? Bars and restaurants that are allowing folks inside in my mind is a bad thing. I say if you have to eat, get take out. If you want a damn beer, pick up a case and go home and enjoy it. Heck!! You can buy a case of six for the price you pay for one or two, at a bar or restaurant. And the thing is we are so close to having a vaccine. Just one more month. If it was up to me, I would close everything down completely for two months. Airports, churches, you name it. Leaving only the stores open we need to survive. To me the help we need right now, is right in front of us, but a lot of people just don’t give a damn, and they will keep on thinking that way, until they are made to do what’s right. The powers that be, should have nipped in the butt in the very beginning and stuck to their guns. If they had done that, it would have become a part of our life like some other countries. It wouldn’t have been nice, but we would have gotten by saving a lot of people from dying. Anyways, that is my rant for this morning. LOL With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then get to doing some woodworking, in my shop today. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right, to ease this virus from spreading.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning once again here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We are having some rain mixed with a bit of ice at the moment. I don’t suspect it will amount to much and it should be a pretty nice weekend. Highway 522 is bare at this time, but there are some icy sections here and there, so care should be taken, if out and about. The temperature isn’t too bad neither for this time of year sitting at 1.4 C | 34.52 F. If the temperature drops a touch we could see around an inch of snow. As I said in other posts, I don’t suspect we will be having a real cold winter this year. We could see some snow though, but that all depends on how the storms track. At the moment they look as if they might by-pass us. Time will tell, as no one, not even the scientists really know what Mother Nature has in store. Now If you’re wondering, how these scientists really predict the weather. Read this bit of information below.
A Native American asked his chief about the coming winter.
“How bad will this winter be?” He asked.
“It is good to be prepared. Get some firewood ready” replied the chief.
The chief then called his friend in the national weather service to ask him. ” How bad will this winter be?”
The meteorologist said “this will be a pretty cold winter”
The chief then told his people what the meteorologist said. A few weeks later the chief called to ask again, just to be sure.
“Well,” said the meteorologist, “its gonna be worse than we thought this year.”
Again the chief relayed this to his people and told them to pile more firewood.
Right before the winter came, the chief called the meteorologist once more to ask, “how bad will this winter be?”
The meteorologist said “it’s gonna be worse than we thought”
The chief thanked the meteorologist and asked him “how do you get such accurate information?”
“Well, we have teams of scientists that study patterns to predict what the weather will be like. But we found that the most reliable method is to just look at how much firewood the Native Americans have put away.”
I would have to say that is about right! LOL
On another note, I did do a wee bit of work in my woodworking shop yesterday. For one lone woodworker, I can sure make a mess. But … it is nice and clean, ready for the next project. And I do have some work to do, I just need to find the energy LOL. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then see what develops for the rest of the day. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right for yourself, family … and friends.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures though aren’t as cold as they were yesterday and with the clouds being like they are, I am thinking we might have a few flurries off and on today. Tomorrow will probably be the same. We did have a pile of snow yesterday, that’s for sure. I asked Kerry Booth this year to clean my driveway, that way it will be a bit easier for my wife and I. We actually have enough to clean up with the decks, parking lot, the snow behind our car and going into the shop. I also make some trails around a piece of our property so the wife and I can walk throughout the winter months to keep fit. Make it nice. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning so travelling will be fair, but care should be taken as there are icy sections on some curves. Yesterday Kerry installed my new snow tires, so that should be a great help this winter keeping us out of the ditch. LOL My old ones were getting a touch wore down. They are okay for summer but with the snow and ice we get in our area we will feel a lot safer with the new ones. As they say … all it takes is money. But not complaining. Kerry is a good fellow and gives a person a fair price on things. Hard to find these days. Today I will take it a bit easy, my old back is acting up somewhat. Not sure why, it was fine all day yesterday and the week before. Does that sometimes. Sign of getting old I suspect. LOL With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then get back into making a new podcast or two. I enjoy doing them and the fringe benefit is they keep the mind fit. Oh, first we have to help the lady next door, she is up in years, and she hasn’t a place to put her car out of the weather. So it needs some cleaning all around it, so she can use it. With that, take care and stay safe the virus is getting stronger than ever.

Good Morning! It’s quite a change, weather wise here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada. Yesterday windy with heavy snow, and today sunshine. But it is much cooler with the temperature sitting at -8 C | 17.6 F. The sun should remain with is for most of the day. Over all, we had around a foot of snow in the past two days. Kind of pretty out there this morning. It’s amazing how Mother Nature can be so miserable, and then become so nice. I guess it is something like us humans in one respect. Crazy mixed up world we live in. Highway 522 is snow covered and I suspect will remain that way for most the day. More snow is on the way for late Thursday and Friday around another 2 inches or so. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea and a bite to eat, and then will see what the day has in store. Other than moving snow that is. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning. Dec 1/2020 here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada and elsewhere. I’t sure been quite a year. This morning we all woke up to around 5 inches of snow in our sleepy community. It is still snowing and will continue with more snow all day and into tomorrow. Which in turn, at the end of things will be a great amount. The temperature is sitting at -3.8 C | 25.16 F. I don’t think my wife and I will be going anywhere. The wind is supposed to pick up too as the day moves forward, which will bring a lot of drifting. Highway 522 is covered completely. I haven’t seen the plow as yet this morning. I did hear them going up and down the highway through the night a couple of times. Yesterday I lit my shop stove, so it is warm in there, which will make my equipment run better if need be. I like to keep it going in the snowy cold days. Today I suspect I will stay inside where it’s warm and work on a podcast or two. With that I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store once again. Take care, and stay safe. The one good thing about this storm we’re having right now. People stay home.

Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada, Along with that we are also getting some rain. It’s not that cold yet with the temperature sitting at 3.6 C | 38.48 F. It won’t warm up much more today. Things are about to change though, as we will be getting some snow, which will be heavy at times, and then blowing snow will begin tonight or Tuesday morning and continue into Wednesday. We could see about 15 to 30 cm or around 11 inches or so before things ease off Wednesday afternoon or evening.
On top of all the snow we could see some wind gusts up to 70 km/h – 80 KM/h which will cause some blowing snow to occur Tuesday and Tuesday night. So I am thinking travelling won’t be too good for the next few days. As of now Highway 522 is bare and wet. On another note I did get my snowblower out this morning and working along with bringing in some firewood for the shop and lit it. So it will be nice and toasty in there, keeping things warm in case they are needed. Like the Generator, chain saw, things like that, and … my snowblower starts easier when warm. Today I will clean up my shop some since it is nice and warm out there and then will work on another podcast. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. Take care, and stay safe.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature is sitting at 2.9 C | 37.22 F. It won’t warm up that much more today. It will also remain cloudy along with a few lingering showers off and on. Tonight however things will cool down, and tomorrow we could see up to 3 inches of snow by the end of the day. But as I say. It is nearing the end of November, and so far we have been pretty lucky not having much snow. So with that in mind, I am thinking I will bring out my snowblower from my storage shed and get it running, just in case. I ordered a new set of snow tires from Kerry Booth’s Garage here in town, so I suspect he will be calling for me to bring my car down to have them installed in a day or so. Which will make things nicer this winter for picking up our groceries in North Bay. Great place to deal with. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning. It should remain that way for most of the day. With that … I am off for my morning cup of tea with a scoop of chocolate, along with a muffin that my lovely wife made the other day. After that, I will see what the day has in store. Every day is a mystery. Stay safe and protect yourselves. Wearing a mask is the best thing you can do these days, when out and about. Listen to your instinct, not what others are trying to tell you.

Good Morning! Well it’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. It is a touch cool though with the temperature sitting at -0.9 C | 30.38 F. It will warm up a wee bit, but not much. The snow we had has left us, but we did have a heavy frost overnight, which is making things a bit icy. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning and there isn’t much traffic moving around. Mostly locals. Being that the weather has been kind of crappy I have been staying inside. I have lots to do, writing stories for my columns in newspapers, magazines and working on my Podcasts. Today I will do much the same. I will however get out for a walk for some exercise a bit later, once the ice has melted. We don’t need to slip and fall. Not much else going on or happening in our area these days. With that I am off for my morning cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then let the day unfold around me. Take care, stay safe and do what is best for yourself, your family, and others with this virus. It is getting a lot worse at the moment. Crowding in on us here in Port Loring. Not here yet that I know of, but close.

Good morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. A real gloomy day actually, looking outside. The temperature isn’t all that bad though sitting at 3.6 C | 38.48 F. And it will warm up even more, as the day moves forward. Not to shabby nearing the end of November. We will also see some rain in the morning hours. Tomorrow however we should see some sunshine for a change. Which will be nice. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning so travelling will be good throughout. There isn’t much traffic these days with a lot of folks staying home. Which is a good thing I am thinking. On another note I finished up another Podcast yesterday and will continue on with another today. So with that I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then see what the day has to offer. Take care and stay safe.

Good Morning! Well … it’s a snowy morning once again here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. I would say we had around three inches overnight. Not so bad, and with the temperatures rising as they are, it will melt fast. I did clean my deck off for the first time this morning, so I could get to my bird feeder. LOL Every morning the birds line up on my railings on the porch looking in … asking … where is the grub? LOL Seems that way anyways. The temperatures this morning was sitting at -1.4 C | 29.48 F. It will warm up a lot as the day progress’s, and will remain warm for the next 4 days. Kind of nice for this time of year. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning, which will make travelling pretty good. Not that my wife and I have anywhere to go these days. But others might. Yesterday I finished off a Podcast I have been working on, and will get into another today. I enjoy doing them, and it seems a lot of folks enjoy listening to them … with all the reviews, phone calls and Emails I have been getting. Which … makes it all worthwhile. So with that, I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife and will add at touch of Nesquik to it, and maybe a piece of toast from some homemade bread my wife and I made yesterday. Yep you heard it right, that woman of mine put an apron on me … and told me to go to town. I made two loaves … so now we will see how they taste. LOL They will either be tasty, or … we will have two door-stops. LOL Have a great day, and stay safe. This virus is getting much worse.

Good Morning. It is a cloudy cold day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature was sitting at -8.4 C | 16.88 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is right now. Tomorrow however temperatures will start to rise. We are also having some light snow. Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout. Here in the north you just never know what might develop in the winter time. Being so cold outside I kind of figure it is a good day to stay inside. Not much happening around town these days. Most all the hunters have left our area, as well as the city folks that were here in the summer. A lot of cottages weren’t opened this year with the virus. Let’s hope this vaccine does its job which I hope will take the edge of things. I am thinking though it will be a long time if we ever get back to where we used to be. But there isn’t much we can do about it, other than take precautions. Along with that, some businesses will have to close, and those will have to come up with different ways of making ends meat. If it isn’t working out, there isn’t much a person can do but move on. Hanging around hoping for things to get better … isn’t the answer. For most of my life I have been self-employed. Some adventures worked out well, some not so good and that is when I made the decision to move on to other things. One door closes a couple more opens they say. And I believe that to be true. That is if you’re a go getter. My opinion only. Take it for what it’s worth. With that, I am off for a cup of tea with my lovely wife and will then get to work on another Podcast. Take care, stay safe.

Good Morning! Well … we all woke up to a winter wonderland here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning. I do see though, that we aren’t alone, as a lot of other folks have had snow too. But in saying that it is a sign of what’s to come, and it is almost the end of November. To be honest … I thought we would have had snow before this. But I am not complaining, as I am not a great lover of snow. But it is nice to look at LOL. Highway 522 is wet with a bit of snow here and there, but for most parts it should be still okay to drive on with no issues. For Ruth and I we got everything we need, so we don’t have to go anywhere. Actually … Kerry our friend who owns a garage here in town, nice fellow … is going to put a set of snow tires on our vehicle shortly, which will be nice when we get a lot of snow. I kind of figured, since the tires on our car now, are getting a touch wore out … it’s time LOL. It seems there is always’s something to take a feller’s hard-earned money. At any rate, with the snow on the ground I will be working inside on some more Podcast’s today, which will keep me busy. It’s nice to be able to do what ever we want. With that … I am off for some French Toast for breakfast. I will change that to English Toast LOL, with a touch of syrup. After that I will have a cup of tea, with a touch of chocolate with my lovely wife, and I will then let the day do as so chooses. Take care, stay safe and look after yourselves and others.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature is sitting at -2.4 C | 27.68 F. It won’t warm up too much more than it is now. We could though have some snow entering into the picture today and into tonight. Which could amount to 2 or 3 inches or so. It kind of depends on which direction the snow tracts. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far and quiet. Which is a good thing. Yesterday we went to town to pick up some more supplies, as I am thinking there will be some hard times ahead, with this virus. As it is getting worse every day. And stocking up a wee bit would be a good thing. Pays to think ahead. All my life I have always had a back up plan, which in turn paid off many times. While there we visited our son in the parking lot for a bit, It’s always nice to see him. It’s just to bad we couldn’t spend some more time with both our boys. But safety comes first. We are working on the issue though, as once we finish up this cottage we worked on all summer, they will then have a place to come to, for a visit. That way we can be together, but apart LOL. But that won’t happen till next spring. After we visited our son and picked up our groceries along with a few other things, we headed on home. I have to say it was a nice day for a drive. It should also be noted that groceries are sure getting expensive these days. Everyone is trying to make an extra dollar. I can’t say I blame some of them. But there are those that like to overcharge us hardworking folks. While in town we also saw that Walmart in North Bay is or was closed, as someone started a fire in the clothes section. I guess they were trying to make a point about something. I have to say, there are sure some idiots out there today. All that these kinds of folks do, is make things just that much harder. They say it takes all kinds to make up this world of ours. I say we could do without a bunch of them. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will then get to working on another Podcast. I do have some great shows lined up for the coming months. Take care, say safe and do what’s right when it comes to your health, and others.

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. We should see a wee bit of sunshine as the day progresses. I hope so, as it makes the day a lot nicer. You can’t beat the sunshine for getting folks outside wanting to breathe in some fresh air. At least in the country. LOL The temperature waking up isn’t to bad sitting at 9.1 C | 48.38 F. It will remain there for today. With all these clouds a feller is hesitant about getting out of bed. LOL Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, along with hardly a car or truck moving around. Yesterday I worked all day on another Podcast and will do the same today. It’s nice to be able to work at home where it’s safe, dry and warm, with lots of food and coffee to drink. LOL Can’t beat that. On another note, we had a visitor at our bird feeder for the past few days, which was an old crow that hurt his wing. I would suspect it got hurt when we had that wind storm a few days ago. My wife and I fed him and things, and in about three days he was up and flying. Made us feel good seeing him get back to his old self. We enjoy watching the crows and other birds throughout the year. We feed them ever morning which keeps them coming back. With that I am off for some bacon and eggs and a cup of coffee with my lovely wife. I enjoy them every so often. They aren’t the healthiest things to eat, but in moderation, most everything is fine. Take care, stay safe, and do what’s right for you with this virus going around. It’s getting worse every day.
