Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up. We didn’t have any snow overnight to speak of, but by what some are saying, we could see a lot of it throughout the day and into tomorrow. Some are calling it the storm of the century. Ha ha. We won’t really know till it is over, but at the moment it is pretty quiet outside. Living where we do, though, if anyone is going to get snow, Port Loring will. Highway 522 is partially covered this morning, and the way things are looking, I would think it would be a good day to stay home, at least until we see what the weather has in store. Other than that, things are rolling along. I haven’t been feeling all that good for the past couple weeks, so I haven’t been doing much. Today I will be taking it easy once again. Getting old is challenging.

On another note, it is getting close to Christmas. This year, both our boys will be staying home, and my wife and I will be on our own for Christmas. Which is fine with us. We all chat online, or on the phone, almost every day. As much as kids want to talk to their parents these days. Ha ha. It seems today the young ones have a full plate, like paying bills and things. Not to forget the taxes that the Powers That Be are taking off their pay checks each week, and then to add insult to injury, they go and tax us more on gas, fuel, oil, food, carbon tax, what a bunch of craaa, that is, and tons of other things. And then I suspect there is tax on things I don’t even know about. The working man here in Canada is taxed to death almost. Kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it. I think some day there is going to be an uprising. But then again, a lot here in Canada seem to just sit back and smile. It’s amazing how a lot of us have changed over the years.

Anyway, enough of that. I get carried away occasionally.

ON another note, my lovely wife packed up a large box with food and things for our food bank here in town yesterday and dropped it off at the Credit Union. That is the place to take it if you have anything you can spare. You never know who might be hurting and a bit hungry these days. We don’t have much to spare, but we do what we can, as we always have.

With that, you all take care, and stay safe if out and about. Don’t want anyone getting hurt or sick.

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy, cool morning here, waking up. We have around six inches or so of snow on the ground as of now. The temperature at the time of this post was sitting at -8.3 C | 17.06 F. They are also saying that a significant winter storm is expected late this week and into the holiday weekend. So it doesn’t look like travelling will be very good for the Christmas or beforehand for that matter. With rain, freezing rain, snow and then a cold front moving into our area. For my wife and I we are staying put over the holidays this year.

Yesterday, not feeling well for the past few days, I have stayed inside. Not doing much. I am hoping things get better for Christmas, health wise. Today I will do much the same, taking it easy. I will however try and get some fresh air and see if that helps. Always something these days, it seems. Other than that, we are doing fine here.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and will then see what the day has in store. Stay safe.

Good Morning!

It’s another cloudy morning here waking up in Port Loring, and it has cooled down some with it sitting at -5.9 C | 21.38 F. It will warm a wee bit as the day moves forward. Highway 522 does have some snow covered areas along with some icy sections, so care needs to be taken if out and about. We had another inch of snow overnight, which brings our total up to around 4-5 inches.

Yesterday I didn’t do all that much, still not well, today will do the same. Always something.

With that I am off to put some wood in our furnace and will then see how things are going.

Good Morning!

It’s another cloudy day here in Port Loring. We are also getting some more snow, with it coming down hard at certain times. But in saying that, we didn’t have any more snow overnight other than maybe a 1/4 inch. I would say we have around 4 inches on the ground as of now. We could see another inch or so today. Time will tell. Highway 522 is snow covered in certain areas, along with some icy sections. So care should be taken if out and about. Which is what everyone should be doing anyway, living where we do.

On another note, my wife and I did manage to get our driveway cleaned out yesterday, along with our decks, and we also helped out our neighbour, cleaning off her car and her deck. She is getting up there in years. I am glad we got it cleaned up though, as it was very wet and heavy, and if it had frozen we wouldn’t have been able to move it.

Today I am going to take it easy as I am not feeling all that well once again. Must have overdone it yesterday. So not much I can do other than rest up for a few days. Joys of getting old, I suppose.

With that I am off for a bite to eat, my lovely wife hasn’t decided on what she will feed me as yet. Good woman she is, wouldn’t have made it this far without her.

Stay safe.

Good Morning!

It’s exactly 10 days now till Christmas. I can’t remember when time has flowed by so fast. You know … years ago when I was a boy, around this time of year, time seemed to stand still, and I thought Christmas would never come. That boy sure loved Christmas, more so Santa. At least the years, he made it to his house. Most of the time he did, as hey! I was always good.

Waking up this morning, the temperature has risen a bit, with it sitting at -0.9 C | 30.38 F. Not too bad for this time of year. There shouldn’t be too many complaints in the weather complaint basket these days. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, and while on the subject of the highway, there have been a lot of vehicles moving around for the past few days. Means folks are out and about doing things, getting some fresh air. Which is what we should be doing.

We only have around a couple inches of snow to speak of, still not enough for the folks that like to snowmobile. But I am sure it won’t be long before we have enough for them to get moving. It’s nice to see folks having fun, especially these days, with the price of things being like they are, not to forget all the needless taxes we are all paying. I won’t get into that this morning. Ha ha.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday, bugged my wife for most of the day. I am starting to feel somewhat better, which I am happy about. We will see if it continues. You never know what the day might bring when you get my age.

Today I am going to write up a story or two for my newspaper columns, which … if I allow, will take most of the day. In doing so, it keeps the mind fresh and wanting to look ahead.

With that I am off for a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is putting together and will then see what develops other than what I have planned.
