What’s Happening April 1/2022

We had two feet of snow here in Northern Ontario, Canada, and more is coming down.

April fools. LOL However, we are having some snow coming down at the moment. I suspect we will get around an inch or so of new snow. Yesterday we got rid of a bunch more and all the ice we had the day before that. The temperatures aren’t as warm today, with it sitting at -3.3 C | 26.06 F. It will arm up a bit more as the day moves forward. We also had some real high winds yesterday that made a mess out on our lawn. But it will have to wait till it warms up some before we get to cleaning things up.

On another note, we are still burning wood in the house and shop. Not that cold, but cold enough to make it uncomfortable. Yesterday I started working on some projects in my woodworking shop and today will carry on. I am making a railing for the top of our stairs here in the house. Which will make things safer for those going up and down. Then after that I will make a banister to hang onto. That should keep me busy for most of the day.
With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe, this virus is closing in on us here in Port Loring fast these days with a lot of folks being sick. I think it will only get worse before it gets better with the masks mandate being removed. My wife and I still wear ours and will continue to do so for the next year or so when going into stores and things. Why? They keep us on the safe side along with others. We couldn’t begin to imagine what it would be like to live with the thought of catching the virus and giving it to someone else. Have a great day.

Episode98: The Great Depression Along With Other Things

Episode 98: Good Morning! Well … here we are with my 98th episode. Boy, time sure flies by. Starting off, I would like to say that I appreciate you taking the time to listen to me here at my podcast. I would also like to say that … I know some episodes weren’t the best, reason being, I have been in training mode, you might say. Ha ha. But the more a person works at something, the better a person becomes. The hardest part was learning to use the audio recording and editing software. And a new mic and things helped a lot too. But mostly, it is a learning process. At any rate, thanks for hanging in there. It should also be noted that I have been getting a lot of emails from folks saying they are liking them. So … I guess I must be doing something right. I also appreciate you letting me know.

Have a great day!

What’s Happening On March 30/2022

Good Morning. It’s another cool, cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. Highway at the moment is bare and dry. In saying that we some not so good weather will be moving into our area later on today. Along with the not so good weather, we will be seeing some strong winds.

So knowing all that, I am thinking I will bring in a few wheel barrels of wood for our wood furnace as I am almost out. With the ice they are calling for and the high winds, we could have some power outages. That’s the nice thing about wood heat, we are always warm. No matter what weather Mother Nature throws at us.

On another note, my wife and I had a very busy day moving things around in our home here getting things ready for our new store. I am not sure about you, but we sure have a lot of stuffffff. We are thinking we might have a garage sale early this spring and see if we can unload a bit. Couple pack rats we are. Sheesh. It took us all day yesterday, and we still have more to do today to finish it up. Well it will never be finished, but at least we will know what we have and where things are. LOL.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then get to work. I’m ready, but not sure about some parts of my body. Have a great day. GW

My Little GPS

Now, before you read this, remember one thing. I don’t write this stuff, it was sent to me by someone else. I have to say though, that this feller has a good sense of humour, and is a great poet. I am also not sure if he is married, but I understand why he would like to remain anonymous, LOL.

I have a little GPS, it sits there in my car.
A GPS is a driver’s friend, it tells you where you are.
I have a little GPS, I’ve had it all my life.
It’s better than the normal ones because it is my wife.

It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive.
“It’s sixty miles an hour”, it says, “You’re doing sixty five”.
It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake
And tells me that it’s never ever, safe to overtake.

It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green.
It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene.
It sees the vehicles in front, and all those to the rear.
And taking this into account, it specifies “Too near”.

I’m sure no other driver, has so helpful a device.
When we leave and lock the car, it still gives me advice.
It fills me up with counselling, each journey’s pretty fraught.
So why don’t I exchange it, and get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I’m properly fed.
It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff,
I only wish that now and then, I could turn the darn thing off!
