Well folks are opening up their cottages around the area. Lots dropping by to our small store and saying hello and picking up their items of choice.  Great to see so many after a long winter.  Still working on this boat I got a few weeks ago.  Put a new cedar floor in the old girl and have to say she looks mighty fine.  Today it will be building a back seat for it, along with adding a new winch on the front, as the old electric one has seen its better days.  So still lots to do, but it’s coming along.  Bug report; Well….have to say that I haven’t seen hardly any black flies for the past few days.  So no one should be complaining about them this year.  Mosquitoes and horse flies are around, but not to bad either.  There are also a few deer flies making an appearance, whom I don’t really care for, as they can sure bite. Mostly though they just bug a feller or gal, by swarming around your head. If you stop though and wait till they land, you can easily kill them with a good swat.  So there you go.  Think I will go and have a cup or tea or two and soak up some of that sunshine and breath in some of that fresh northern air.  Have a great day!!!

Quiet day today, not much movement up and down the highway.  All the travelers that were on the roads have made it to their destination and is resting up for the coming week, I suspect.  Can’t say I rightly blame them neither.  Yesterday I took our Giesler boat out with my lovely wife and have to say it sure was pretty out there.  I didn’t get any fish though but did  hook on one nice one.  Didn’t have it hooked good enough I guess and as it flipped itself out of the water, it shook the hook right out of its mouth.  If there is anyone that has ways of that not happening let me know, as have lost a lot of fish that way lately.  Thinking my hook is to large or something that is on the lure I am using.  Maybe get to changing that.  At any rate, we had a great afternoon let me tell ya. Sunshine on ones back, calm water with s light breeze, taking in all the smells and surrounded by nothing but what nature has to offer.  That is what life is all about.  Well tea time here my friends so have a great day.  Oh with the bug report, the Black Flies and Mosquito’s weren’t bad at all out there on the water yesterday.

Well other than a great looking day out there not much going on.  Folks are busy at their cottages and I am sure more will be headed this way through out the day, being Friday.  I was talking to a OPP Officer in Britt the other day and he said the Highways were hectic out there with accidents and folks speeding.  You know….driving to fast doesn’t in reality get you to your destination any quicker. What it does do though, is put you, your family and others, in a greater risk bracket of not getting there at all, or becoming seariously hurt.  When that happens no one wins my friends, so drive according to what is specified and drive safe.  Bug report;  Black fies and Mosquitoes still not to bad but they are out there.  Not enough to discourage a fellow or gal from fishing though.  Have a great day my friends.
