Good Morning! Once again, we are in the midst of a bit of sunshine. It is cool, with the temperature getting of bed sitting at -0.4 C | 31.28 F. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good. On another note, we have been lighting our wood furnace now for the past week or so. I haven’t had to put in any large pieces yet as it hasn’t been overly cold. But after tomorrow that will change as there is some frigid weather heading our way. I have to admit, the heat it gives off sure feels good. My arthritis loves it. You could say right now it’s a two stick fire that is needed to keep warm. LOL Yesterday I worked here on my computer as I have been having some problems with Google, relating to my Podcast on the Google Home Speaker. But I think with my Son’s help we have it figured out. Difficulties arise as even Google doesn’t know how to fix something’s. I am glad I have a son that is able to go above them and figure things out. Today I will work on a story or two I have in mind. With that, take care and stay safe. Don’t forget to wear your mask, and wash your hands, as it is the best defence we have from catching this virus, or other things like colds and flues. The vaccines help immensely, but even with them, we that are vaccinated can still catch it, hopefully not as bad. I am pretty sure we will have to deal with this virus for a long time, until science comes up with other ways of dealing with these things. We humans are in … an in between state at the moment. It’s called evolution. Anyway, have a great day. GW

Good Morning! Once again, the sun is shinning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at-4.8 C | 23.36 F. It will warm up as the day progresses, but the sunshine should remain with us for most of the day. Then clouds will roll in for tonight and the temperature will begin to rise, which will bring us some more rain for a couple of days. After that old man winter, will start showing itself. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those that have to go anywhere. We did however have a skiff of snow through the night, but nothing that will remain with us. On another note I did do some work on my blog yesterday adding a few things. Basically made things easier for folks to manoeuvre around and find things. Today I will work away on another story for my newspaper columns. With that I am off for a bowl of cereal with my lovely wife and will then see what develops. Enjoy your day, my friends, and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! Hey! We are having some sunshine here in Port Loring, Ontario, this morning. That’s a nice change. But it has gotten colder, with the temperature sitting at -3.9 C | 24.98 F. It will warm up a touch, but not much as the day progresses. I am thinking mid-week it will warm up above the freezing mark, but then it will get cold once again. So roller coaster weather for a few more days before winter gets settled in. Highway 522 is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today if you have to go anywhere. I don’t think we have anywhere to go for another week or so. Yesterday I worked away on a story or two and today will do the same. It’s kind of nice to sit back with our wood heat on these cold days and look out. We still feed our birds which comes to our feeder every morning, noon, and night. I have to say, we get a lot of enjoyment watching them. Right now the birds we see are Blue-Jays, Morning Doves, Chickadees and Nuthatches, and a few Black Birds. On another note, I see there are a lot of sales this year for Black Friday. We did take advantage of a few things, as right now we can buy what we are in need of, for half price. The trick is not to overspend, and what you do buy needs to be paid off immediately if you’re using a credit card. Which we do. Over the years, my lovely wife and I have used these Mastercard Companies, instead of them using us. I do know it’s not easy for some, as it doesn’t take much for a person to get hooked, and them interest rates they charge, are outrageous. So best to be careful. I have always said … “Fill your needs, not your wants.” With that bit of info under your hat, I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal, and will then see what the day has in store. Life’s a mystery, that’s for certain. Take care and stay safe, the numbers are still rising with this virus here in Ontario. Wear your mask!

Good Morning!. Starting things off it is a cloudy wet morning here in Port Loring, Ontario. We haven’t seen any sun for a few days now, which health wise isn’t the greatest. That’s where a Vitamin D3 supplement comes in handy. I would say that every one in the North or elsewhere should be taking a 1000 IU once a day. As most of us are low compared to where we should be. The temperature outside still hasn’t been all that cold. Getting out of bed, it was sitting at 2.8 C | 37.04 F. We could see our first snow of any accumulation later on today, tonight and into tomorrow. It kind of depends on how soon the temperatures start to fall. At any rate, there should be no complaints about the weather this Fall, as it has been quite nice. Highway 522 as of now is a bit wet from the rain but bare. On another note, I took a look at my garlic I planted earlier in the year, and it still isn’t showing itself, which is a good thing. I don’t like to see it up above the ground too much before the freezing weather hits. I did though put a good layer of leaves over most of them. We will see how that pans out, come spring. Yesterday I worked in my old woodworking shop getting things ready to do up some orders I have waiting. In a couple of days I will get to that. With that, I am off for some homemade waffles that my lovely wife is making me, and will then see what the day has in store. Maybe I will write up a story or two for my columns. That is, if anything comes to mind. Getting harder and harder to find a good subject after all these years. Take care and stay safe. The numbers are rising here in Ontario with this virus. Not a good thing, for sure. GW

Good Morning! Once again, we are in the midst of some clouds here in Port Loring, Ontario. But the good news is, the temperature is still quite mild, sitting at 4.1 C | 39.38 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. If things goes to plan, we should see some sunshine tomorrow. Which would be nice. But no matter what way you look at things, our weather here in Port Loring is and has been exceptionally pleasant compared to other years, and we are coming into December. Highway 522 is quiet these days, which is a norm. At the moment it is bare and dry, so travelling will be good today. For my lovely wife and I, we wait for sunny days if we have to go to North Bay for groceries and things, as it makes the drive in just that much nicer. As many times as we have been to town, we never get tired of it, as it seems there is always something new to see. It’s as if Nature only wants us to see certain things at certain times. On another note, I finished up my painting in our back porch yesterday and got the weather stripping around the doors set into place. Today I am going to be working on a new story for my Newspaper Columns I write for, and if that goes well I will then get to working on another Podcast which comes out every Friday morning. And while talking about my Podcast, I would like to thank all those, once again, for letting me know how much they are enjoying my Podcasts. Also, I would like to mention I have had a problem with the Google Home Assistant relating to folks not being able to hear my Podcasts. But it is all fixed now. If you want to listen to my Podcasts on the Google Home now, as in the beginning. Just say!!! Hey Google, Play Just One More Story by George Walters and you should be all set. Not sure what went wrong, but they eventually fixed it. With that, I am off for my morning bowl of Oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store other than what I have planned. You just never know. Take care and stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a gloomy day here in Port Loring, Ontario. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 0.4 C | 32.72 F. Overnight we did have some freezing rain but with the temperatures going to be well above freezing today, it won’t last long. Highway 522 is quiet these days and will remain that way till spring. It is also a bit slippery out there so care should be taken if out and about. Yesterday i did some painting in the house here and today I will be putting some weather stripping around the door in my back porch. So in other words just puttering around. In reality … not much happening in and around our small community these days. With that I am off for my morning bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife, and will then see what the day has in store. Take care an stay safe. GW

Good Morning! It’s a cloudy cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario Canada. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -1.6 C | 29.12 F. It will warm up a touch as the day moves forward. We could see some sunshine off and on today, but tonight freezing rain will enter into the picture, and the roads could become quite slippery. If it gets cold enough we could see some snow of maybe an inch or so. So to be sure we will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Either way, tomorrow won’t be the best of days for travelling. Highway 522 is slowing down traffic wise with hunting season about over. Yesterday i worked in our back porch making some new trim for around the door and windows. I also lit the wood stove in my old woodworking shop for the first time this year. Felt good too. I have been starting our-wood furnace in the house now for the past week. There is nothing like wood heat to take out the dampness in a person’s body and the house. The trick is not to get it to hot. But over the years we have learned how to make that happen. Today I will be doing a bit of painting on the new trim I made which will look after the day. With that I am off for some home made waffles with an egg on top, that my lovely wife is making, and will then get to work. Take care and stay safe, this virus is rising a bit every day. GW

Good Morning! It’s a bit cloudy this morning, and I suspect the clouds will remain with us for most of the day. It will still be above normal for our area temperature wise, but closing in on the weekend things will start to change, with colder weather entering into the picture and maybe even a bit of snow from time to time. But, it is crowding the middle of November. No one should complain about the weather so far this Fall. Heck, even the grass is still growing in our area, with a few dandelions hanging on. Which is okay with my lovely wife and I, as we make a tea from the leaves once or twice a week. Through the summer we use the roots that we dug, dried and stored away earlier in the year. Yesterday I finished up most of my yard work. With the weather being so nice, we got things done that we were going to do next year. We also had our coffee on the front porch without needing a coat. Today I will rake up a few leaves out back of our home which will make it look nicer for winter. Highway 522 is still busy, but it will slow down starting next week, as the hunting season for deer with rifles is about to close for another year. So with that I am off for my morning bowl of cereal and a cup of fresh perked coffee, and will then get to work. You know. I am grateful that I am able to do the work. Enjoy your day, my friends, and stay safe. GW
