Good Morning!

It’s another sunny morning here in Port Loring. The sun is slowly coming up in the east which will take us into another nice day. It is cool though waking up, with the temperature sitting at 6.3 C | 43.34 F. It’s the first morning that we had to turn on our oil furnace, as it was a touch cool and damp in the house. It smells a bit though being the first time its been running. But it will burn off and things will get back to normal the more it heats up. Not much a person can do about that. Other than not turn it on. And I don’t care to do that. Ha ha. Highway 522 is slow this morning but I suspect it will pick up as the day moves forward. I see the kids are back in school as the school buses have been going by our home.

On another note I am thinking I might try and put my boat away for this year in a day or so. With my wife’s help. Once again we didn’t get to go fishing this year being that I am not all that well. Maybe next year. We also have to get our veggie gardens cleaned up once the tomatoes have run their course, along with digging our potatoes. We did try a few yesterday for supper. They were a good size and sure tasty. l would think we will get around 50 lbs or so once all said and done. Which should carry us through for most of the winter. My lovely wife made us some potato soup for supper last night. Tasted so good we will finish it up for lunch today.

With that … I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what I can do. Lately it’s been a challenge to do anything. Take care and stay safe as with the kids going back to school they will be bringing home all kind of not so good things, spreading it around. To be truthful … wearing a mask is a good thing in part, as it stops all kinds of colds and things. If you look back to when we were all wearing them, you hardly ever heard of anyone catching a cold or the flu. The pharmaceutical companies love it when the masks are removed. Ha ha. Have a great day!

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here in Port Loring. The wind is coming in from the North North East. However even with the sunshine it is a bit cool this morning with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at 7.3 C | 45.14 F. It is nice for sleeping though. Highway 522 is quiet once again but that is to be expected this time of year. Although in saying that, we did have a very busy day here at our small store yesterday. So no complaints in that department. With most places being closed people were looking for places to go. A lot just wanted to chat, which I am good at. Ha ha.

Yesterday I worked away here on my new mystery novel. It kept my mind off of things. Which is a good thing. Today I will try and walk around some outside taking in some sunshine. It won’t be long and it will be to cold to be outside much. I am not much liking the cold weather these days.

On another note if some one happens to know where a fellow could buy a good used Side by Side or a used Golf Cart with a top, I would like to hear from you. Being that it is hard to get around anymore I was thinking of getting one for next year. Can’t hurt to ask. Lots of new ones out there, but from what I can see they are all to expensive, least for my wife and I.

With that I am off for bite to eat that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Have a great day and stay safe. Lots of people still dying from this virus that is still with us. I will be glad when someone comes up with something that fixes it for good. It all boils down to money. You know … if just one of our riches men on earth would say … hand over one Billion Dollars towards say Cancer … it would be no more, as would other diseases. I can’t understand how they can get out of bed in the mornings knowing that they could make a difference and don’t. I know if I had the money I sure would. Again … have a great day. GW

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring. We did have some rain yesterday, but could have used more with it being so dry. Highway 522 is quiet this morning. But that is to be expected rolling into fall. The leaves are starting to show color a wee bit as each day passes us by. I have to admit I am not ready for the cold temperatures. By the looks of things though, we will be having a cold winter with lots of snow. At least that is what nature is saying. We will see.

On another note I didn’t do all that much yesterday other than work away on a story or two for my columns. It seems that is all I am able to do these days. I am missing my woodworking shop.

Not much else happening around our small town these days. Most people are starting to close up their cottages and leaving the area for another year. Kind of sad to see them go.

With that I am off for a bowl of oatmeal that my lovely wife made for me, and will then see what the day has in store.

Have a great day. GW

Good Morning! I was woken this morning with lots of thunder. With the sky being black in the west I suspect a storm is heading our way. We could use the rain as everything is in need of a drink. Starting to look like a dust bowl out there. The temperature waking up was sitting at 18.3 C | 64.94 F. After today though we will be back to sunshine and it should remain with us for most of the week.

With the long weekend upon us traffic today is quiet. Those that are taking a holiday are already settled in. With the kids going back to school most parents will be heading back home on Sunday which will make traveling not that good.

On another note I worked away on my new book yesterday and later on I went for a walk thinking I would stretch my legs. But I was hit with some mare bad pain so spent the rest of the day in bed. I was starting to think I had this thing licked. Today I will be taking it easy here in my lazy boy chair. With that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife will be making for me shorty, after she puts a load of laundry in our old washer. And it is old as we bought it well over thirty years ago. Have a great day. GW
