Good Morning! It’s a not so bad day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun after struggling has made an appearance and should remain with us for most of the day. But in saying that, we will probably see some showers or rain later on in the day. It’s that time of year, folks, when anything is possible. Something like what we are dealing with, with this virus. It is a nice time of year though, the leaves are changing colour, no bugs hardly to speak of, things have quieted down with the tourists back in the city and the fishing is pretty good. And along with all that, most of all my wife’s and my outside work has been completed. Front porch sittin is in the works!! The temperature this morning isn’t as cool as it was yesterday morning, sitting at 15.3 C | 59.54 F. It will warm up some as the day moves forward. Today I am going to paint our front door as it is starting to show signs of wear. Best to get it out of the way before the real cold hits. The paint sticks better at the moment. LOL After that … who knows. So with that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW

Fishing Times: Today my old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there fishing will be from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM and then again from 4:30 – 6:30 PM. I give it a 4-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good luck and don’t forget to take along your rain coat.

Good Morning. It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. And it is a touch cool, with the temperature sitting at 8.5 C | 47.3 F. I actually had to put some heat into our home this morning for the first time. The winds are from the east, which as they used to say is; Isn’t Fit For Man Nor Beast. I have to agree with that old quote. We should see some sunshine later on. Highway 522 has slowed down a wee bit. The bugs for the year has pretty well left us, too, which makes it nice to be out there fishing. Not that I have been out there lately, as my wife and I have been really busy trying to get things done up before winter. We still have to bring in our firewood, which I suspect we will get at next weekend. I managed to paint all the walls in our basement this year, so it is all set for winter. It brightened up things a lot. It wasn’t a hard job, as a few years ago I bought a paint sprayer which I never used, so I figured I would put it to good use. Worked slick and cut the painting time down to less than half, and it also saved a lot of paint. Yesterday, my lovely wife and I started in on our flower gardens, working them up and cutting some of them down in size. We did do some major work on them earlier in the year, now we are finishing it up. It is quite a job with all the bending and digging. But if things goes to plan, we should have them in shape by the end of the day. After that, the wife wants to plant some tulips for next spring. Always something to do. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal and will then see what the day has in store. You never know what a day might bring. Take care and stay safe, the numbers are rising with infections regarding this virus that is among us. GW

Fishing Times: Today my old weather stick is saying that the best time to be out there with your line in the water will be between 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM and then again from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM. With the winds coming in from the East, I don’t suspect it is going to be the greatest day for fishing. I give it a 2-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. You might want to bring along a warm jacket along with your raincoat. Good Luck! Oh, and maybe a thermos of hot coffee.

Good morning. It is a bit cloudy this morning, with the temperature sitting at 11.4 C | 52.52 F. We should see a wee bit of sunshine as the day progress’s. The wind is coming from the North, which is the reason things have cooled down. Highway 522 picked up a bit yesterday with traffic. There are still a lot of Folks that are still off work getting paid by our government, so in reality there is no incentive to go back to work. They can travel, go into stores, have parties, protest, that’s okay, but to go to work isn’t. Makes me shake my head. At any rate that is the way our country is becoming, and I suspect it will get a lot worse before it gets better, people wise, that is. On another note, I didn’t do much outside yesterday with the rain and all. I stayed inside and wrote up a couple stories for my newspaper columns and magazines I write for. Which, in doing so, felt pretty good for a change. At least doing that, my body gets a rest, but my mind keeps busy. Today is mowing day for my lovely wife and I, so that will keep us busy for most of the day. And give us some exercise. So with that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe. GW
