Good Morning! It’s another cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. It is a touch cool, with the temperature getting out of bed, sitting at -14.2 C | 6.44 F. Nothing like we had last month though, so should be no complaints. For the rest of the winter, the temperatures should remain about normal. Highway 522 is bare this morning, which will make travelling fair.

We did see hundreds of cars and trucks going past our house yesterday, which tells us there was an accident on Highway 69 somewhere. When an accident occurs close to Highway 522 they redirect them across to Highway 11. Not sure if anyone got seriously hurt or not. Let’s hope for the best.

On another note, the morning doves have returned to our bird feeder this morning. They either left for a while or dropped by while we were sleeping. That could be it, as lately I haven’t gotten out of bed till around 8:00 AM. Getting lazy in my old age. Ha Ha.

Yesterday I put together another Podcast, today I will fine tune it and add it to my collection. I enjoy doing them, as some brings back some fine memories. So while on the subject of the Podcast, I would like to say thank you once again, to all those that have taken the time to drop me a line saying they are enjoying them and not to forget those that are just listening. It means a lot.

The day before yesterday, being so warm, I let my wood furnace go out and burned a bit of oil. I don’t like the wood heat when the temperature gets up above the freezing mark. This morning, though, I lit it back up and split some small pieces, so I can keep a two stick fire going. Enough for some warmth, but not enough to make the house too hot.

So with that bit of info under your hat on a Thursday morning, I am off for a bagel with some cream cheese for a change, along with a Florida Grapefruit that my lovely wife is preparing for me. She cuts the grapefruit for me so that I can easily get the pieces out, without massacring it. Ha Ha. They are tasty right now. Actually, if you catch the North Bay Nugget within the next few days, my column which comes out weekly … is all about Florida Grapefruit. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning. So how you all doing on this fine Wednesday morning? Good I hope. It has warmed up some, with the temperature sitting at 0.6 C | 33.08 F. The snow has melted a lot overnight and will continue to do so for most of the day. But in saying that, we could see a few flurries as the day moves forward. And it will begin to cool down later on tonight. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning for most parts, which will make travelling pretty good. It’s still a little messy.

On another note, I finished up another Podcast yesterday. I bought a new microphone that my son recommended awhile back, and it works great, but sitting on my desk, and the way my desk was made, I couldn’t get close enough to it. So knowing that and the difficulty I was having I ordered a boom arm for it which is now helping a lot. I also ordered a few more things that will make it sound just that much better. Which should be delivered in a few days. Modern technology in the works here at the Walters, House. Ha Ha.

With that, I am off for a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of rasin-bread that my lovely wife is preparing for me. I don’t know what I would do without her. Hard-working woman. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good morning! It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We could see a glimpse of sunshine off and on throughout the day. We could also see some light flurries, but nothing to write home about. The temperature waking up was sitting at -4.8 C | 23.36 F. Not bad at all for this time of year, and it will warm up even more as the day progresses. Highway 522 is mostly bare, with a lot of slushy sections throughout. Not a good day for going anywhere, if you’re wanting to keep your car clean.

On another note, we haven’t had too many birds at our feeder for the past two days. I am thinking they are hiding out somewhere where it’s warm. But we are still getting some Blue Jays and Morning Doves. I have also noticed that we haven’t seen many Woodpeckers this year for some reason.

Yesterday I worked away here on my computer, as I will be doing today. Got a few things that needs doing. Other than that, not much else happening in and around our small town. So with that I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of homemade raisin bread that my lovely wife is making me and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW
