Morning Report Feb. 8/2016

Good Morning:  Snowy morning here waking up in Port Loring Ontario.  Temperatures at 7:00 AM was reading -0.7 C | 30.74 F.

Forecast For Monday:  Stormy.  Could see a few inches of snow before things settle down.  Will also warm up a bit more to around 2 C / 35 F.  Which could turn the snow to rain.  Kind of a waiting game today to see what develops.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is snow covered at this time and traveling will be poor.  Good day to stay home.

Fishing Information:  Today once again fishing won’t be so good.  But in saying that the old weather stick is predicting that the best times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 11:30 AM.  Then later on from 4:30 PM – 7:00 PM.  I give it a 1 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Dress warm if out and stay dry.

Snow Accumulations.  Overnight we had about two inches of new snow. More on the way.

Pain Related To Weather:  Today the weather will play havoc with folks and could cause one to move slow which is what should be done when things gets to hurting a bit.  But moving is the remedy, just a little at a time.  Worst thing one can do for body aches is to just sit or lay and let it take hold.

Forecast For Sunday: Snow, very unsettled weather for most of the day.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is pretty well bare and wet throughout with a few icy sections.  I was reading an interesting article yesterday about how they are experimenting with a mixture of concrete and other things that keep the roads free of ice and snow.  To view click link below.  Amazing how modern technology is moving ahead.     https://finance.yahoo.com/news/conductive-concrete-ice-itself-keeping-234835569.html

Pain Related To Weather:  Today once again the weather will neither help nor hinder a person.  It’s like it is sitting there watching us.  Which in some ways can be a good thing.  Lets us do things on our own now and then.

A Bit On Restaurants

Restaurants. Here is an place that I am sure that most of us stop at now and then.  Some more than others.  For myself I don’t get to eat out to much but every so often when I head into North Bay or down to see my other son in St Catharines we do enjoy a meal or two out.  Look forward to it.  I won’t mention any names here this morning as this blog isn’t meant to bring on pain to a person or business.  But after yesterday’s event I just had to say a few words.  First off I figure restaurants are like a cold or the flu.  If your sick you should stay home and not pass your sickness around.  At a restaurant if you can’t cook then you shouldn’t be passing food around as folks could get sick.  Anyways.  I had to have some tests done yesterday, had to fast and things and by the time I had this looked after my wife and I were starving. So we picked on an establishment that has been in business for a good many years.  Walking in music was playing and had a cozy feeling which we enjoy.  Ordered a simple meal with eggs over easy, two strips of bacon extra crispy, home fries with a touch of onions. They asked which kind of toast we would like and my wife said rye.  I myself took wheat.  Food came to the table and just by looking at it I knew right away we were in trouble.  First off the potatoes were so old they looked green and tasted even worse. Along with that they cooked them in lard or some kind of grease that tasted just terrible burned black almost.  Onions were half cooked and again covered with a type of grease that would choke a horse.  Toast was burned and no flavor.  Eggs were not cooked hardly at all covered with slime.  Then to top it off at the end of the meal which we didn’t eat they gave us a bill.  On the bill they even charged us an extra 49 cents for the rye bread the wife had.  Couldn’t believe it.  They did ask what we thought of the meal and me I just nodded.  Wrong move on my wife’s part as she said. “Would you really like the truth?”  They got it.  Nicely of course.  With that they didn’t offer to return our money and we left the meal sitting on the table pretty well as they served it.   Will we return.  Not even if I was starving which actually I was on that fine morning.  So thought I would share a bit of our day in North Bay Ontario.  My Opinion on the whole thing.  Folks if you can’t cook don’t open a restaurant.  The rest of the day was fine had a good time.

Good Morning Feb 6/2016

Good Morning:  Waking up temperatures were sitting at, -5.7 C | 21.74 F.

Forecast For Saturday: Snow, very unsettled. Will remain a touch cool but not so bad that it would cause a person to stay inside.

Snow Accumulation:  No snow overnight.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 does have some icy sections throughout but for most parts it is pretty good.  Traveling should be okay today but as always in winter care should be taken.

Fishing Information:  Today the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM.  Poor day for fishing. I give it a 1 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Weather these days just isn’t cooperating.  But it will eventually improve.

Pain Related To Weather:  Today the weather will help nor hinder a person.  Just going to kind of sit there.  I guess that is okay.  Great day for a walk even though the sun isn’t shinning.  Fresh air is every bit as important as is the sun.  Put them two elements together and,  No Flu Shot Needed.

Tranquil Stream

IMG_20160103_115502908 IMG_20160202_104529625 IMG_20160202_104614174Came upon this small stream yesterday.  Just kind of mesmerized us for a minute or two looking down upon it.  Also one of a Pileated woodpecker at our bird feeder.  Might have to zoom in on it to have a look.  Lots of them in our area. Thought I would share.  GW
