Episode 96: Here it is another Friday. I have to admit, time sure flies by these days. Today, I have another podcast lined up for you that I think … a lot will enjoy. It relates to some of the things we are missing in life. Anyway, give it a listen too when you find some time. And don’t forget to share my Podcasts with others, along with dropping me a line from time to time. I enjoy hearing from you! GW
So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Starting things off, we all woke up to sunshine here in Northern Ontario, Canada. It sure is nice to see, as it makes a person want to get out of bed. My old Dad used to holler up the stairs some mornings! “Get out of bed boy. We have to make hay while the sun shines.”
Actually, if my old Dad would be alive today, it would be his birthday. So … Happy Birthday Dad. I miss ya!
Moving along, it is still down right cold outside this morning, with the temperature sitting at -18.3 C | -0.94 F. Highway 522 is mostly snow and ice covered at the moment, which won’t make travelling all that good for a couple of hours or so. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward, The sunshine should remain with us for most of the day.
On another note, my wife and I had to clean our driveway and decks removing some snow yesterday, along with helping our neighbour. The good part is, it got us out of the house, some exercise, along with some fresh air. Can’t beat that. No exercise equipment in this house.
Today I will work away on my sound set up for podcasting, along with other things. Lots to learn getting things just right. Especially for an old feller. These young bucks know what is needed and how to do things, as they grew up with all these high-tech gadgets. But for us older folks, it’s a challenge. I do enjoy learning, though.
With that, I am off for a boiled egg that my lovely wife is preparing for me, along with a piece of toast. I might even have a touch of jam on one slice. Just because I can. Have a great day. GW
The land of Canada is solely owned by Queen Elizabeth II, who is also the head of state. Only 9.7% of the total land is privately owned, while the rest is Crown Land. The land is administered on behalf of the Crown by various agencies or departments of the government of Canada. The Canadian Act has no provision for any Canadian to own physical land in Canada. Canadians can only own an interest in an estate. Of the land owned by the Queen, 50% is administered by the provincial governments and the rest by the federal government. The Crown Land administered by the federal and provincial governments can be defined as land not assigned in freehold tenure. The land in Canada is mainly used as national parks, forests, private homes, and agriculture.
It’s another cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario, Canada. However, we aren’t having the snow we did yesterday, waking up. Yesterday and overnight we had around 3 inches. Highway 522 is half covered with snow and ice this morning. The temperature climbing out of bed was sitting at -7.9 C | 17.78 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward.
Yesterday my wife and I worked away on some things here at home, and today we both will get back to doing what we enjoy. She has a lot of painting orders that needs to be done, and I need to write up a few more stories for my columns. So that will keep us both busy.
Not much else happening in and around our community these days. Other than a lot of snowmobiles out and about enjoying themselves. Which is nice to see. I think everyone has had enough of this virus. I hope the numbers keep on dropping as they are now. But in saying that, I don’t think that removing our masks is a good idea. My wife and I will keep on wearing them even when they say we don’t need to.
With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know. Take care and have a great day. GW
Hi Folks. It’s another cloudy, snowy day here in Northern Ontario. We did have an inch or so of new snow overnight, and I suspect we will have another inch or so throughout the day. Highway 522 is snow covered. However, the plow just went past our home. Travelling won’t be the greatest today.
The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -9.1 C | 15.62 F. Not too bad, and it will warm up a bit more as the day moves forward.
On another note, we have been having a lot of finches at our bird feeder the past few days. They come and go and are nice to see, other than the larger birds that remain all winter.
So with that bit of information out of the way, I am off to feed the birds and put some wood in our furnace. Have a great day. March 1st, man, time sure flies by these days. GW
But for us older folks, it’s a challenge. I do enjoy learning, though.
