George’s Morning Post For Dec. 3/2015
Good Morning: Great day shaping up here in Crystal River Florida. Sun is burning off the morning mist as it does every morning. Then some front porch sittin” will be in order. Seems the outside draws a feller down here. The smells also intrigue a fellow making one come alive. Not sure if it is being so close to the Gulf with the salt water or the smells that arrives from the trees around us. Probably a combination. With that will head on off for my morning tea and let the day unfold around us. Rough life down here. But some one has to deal with it, might as well be us. I also added a few pictures below all self explanatory as you will see once you enlarge them.

George’s Afternoon Post
Well one beauty of a day here in Crystal River Florida. Temperatures are sitting at 86 F. Not to shabby. Today we ventured out a ways taking in what was in the area. Lots to see. Going to take us a month to figure out where everything is. But it is fun doing so. Took a drive in a friend of ours car today to pick up some groceries. Thought I would share a picture or two of that event. Also snapped a picture or two of some eagles nesting on top of a pole. Seems they like it up there, as I think every other pole had a nest on top. Good view for sure. With that heading off for a cool drink and let the day finish up around us. 
George’s Morning Post For Nov. 30/2015
Good morning from Inglis Florida. Really nice morning here waking up temperatures were sitting at 70 F. Will rise quite rapidly shortly. Once the sun is up warm temperatures are upon us.

Did a live interveiw all realting to my life , friends and where we live. Put Port Loring on the map, we did. After that carried on with our day. Was a great day for sure. But then….what day isn’t nice here in Florida.
Took a couple pictures which are below. Click to enlarge. With that heading off for my morning tea outside on our deck. That is after our morning orange juice. Enjoy your day and stay safe.
George’s Daily Post For Nov. 29/2015
Good Morning from Inglis Florida. Great morning, sunny with temperatures sitting at 25 C / 78 F. Can't beat that for winter temperatures. Had a great trip down other than a bit of traffic in certain areas. But dealt with it as it came. In our area there is lots of fresh fruit and vegatable stands so will be taking some of them in today. Then maybe head on over to the beach for a bit. Rough life down here, But I will put up with it. Looking out my window of our cottage the moss is hanging from the trees with the day just beconing us to come outside, along with the morning doves waiting our presence. Which we will do shortly. Thinking a coffee on our deck is in order this morning. Great way to start the day off. Lots to see here in our area too, so day trips will be taken in great quantities. One thing we like to do wife and I, an that is take in the sights. So with that I will head on off to my lawn chair and, well, just let the day unfold around us. A poem I like to start my day off with goes like this. Hope you like it as it has meaning which comes from deep within. Be happy and gay. Don't ever be sad. Think what awaits you Not what you've had The skies can't be blue Every day that is true But always on the morrow The sun shines thru So as thru life We struggle and strive Isn't it a pleasure To just be alive?? Enjoy your day my freinds, make it a good day. Inquieries: [email protected]

Good Morning: Cloudy morning here in Port Loring. Got a storm front moving into our area this afternoon, 5 cm are expected by early evening with another 10 to 15 cm tonight. The snow will taper off on Sunday. I hope so. I like snow but I don’t like a whole mess of it. But we do live in the snow belt. If anyone gets it we do. Also could see some high winds associated with the storm.

Around Town: Not too much happening in and around our small community. We did head on into North Bay yesterday and most stores were doing a brisk business. Good to see. Our son Karl took us for supper at the Montana’s 1899 Algonquin Ave, North Bay, ON P1B 4Y8
Phone:(705) 840-2087. New place that opened up in the Bay and I have to say it was excellent. We all ordered something different and all was really tasty. Prices weren’t all that bad either. I don’t mind paying a bit more if things are good. Also the waitress’s were kind and helpful. So on a score of 1 to 10 I would give it a 8 as of now. Why only a 8. Simple, nothing is perfect in life and they still have to do some fixing up on the inside here and their. All and all no complaints. With that heading off for my morning tea. Dandelion this morning. Good for all kinds of things. Enjoy your day an stay safe.

“Unravelling You Inner Workings”.
The workshop is to help people understand WHY what they are currently living isn’t matching up with what they are feeling inside. We start at 6:30pm at the main library 74 McKenzie Street.
It is going to be a wonderful journey! Should be a great event and you won’t find anyone more knowing than Danny. Nice fellow. With that I am heading off for my morning tea.

Good Morning: Cloudy day here in Port Loring Ontario. Waking up temperatures were sitting at 8.9 C | 48.02 F. Forecast for today is saying it will be stormy, much rain. Great day to get some inside work done up. Myself I kind of enjoy these days.
Pain, Colds & Flu’s Related To Weather: Today the weather will be a concern to those suffering with body aches and pains (rheumatism) On the flip side the weather will keep most colds and flu’s at bay today. Still no excuse not wash your hands if out visiting, shopping or ?. If folks did just that after going somewhere, colds and flu’s would be cut in half. Also over the years I have kept most colds and flu’s at bay by simply not touching my face with my hands. Good practice to get into. Also one last thing. If your sick stay at home!!!
Hunting Times: Today won’t be the greatest for those wanting to do some hunting. I give it a 2 Buck Rating out of 5 for seeing a few. Times to be out there will be from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM. Then a bit later on from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Good Luck!
Highway Report: Highway 522 is bare but a bit wet and slick in certain areas throughout. Occasional deer or moose are also making their way across. Travelling will be good today for most parts.
Around Town: Things are quiet. Hardly a car moving up or down the highway this morning. Thinking I will get into writing up a few stories on this fine Wednesday morning. Seems the urge hits and has to be done. With that will head off for my morning tea. Red Rose this morning for a change. Change is good. Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning: We woke up to some nice sunny weather here in Port Loring Ontario. Sun was a shinning down upon us which seems to draw a person out from under the sheets. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 1.3 C | 34.34 F. Not too cold for this time of year. Today the sunshine will remain upon us with temperatures remaining quite warm. Great day to get outside.

Snow Report: Nothing to speak of this morning. The ground though did have a crust of ice on it though. Won’t be long before we are covered with the white stuff.
Around Town: Things are quiet. In other places they are quite busy with stores being packed with buyers of all kinds. I have found that folks are spending more these days, buying items that normally wouldn’t be bought. Good sign of how our economy is really doing. Buying and not owing is a good thing. Charging and owning isn’t. Especially with what they charge on them credit cards these days. I also see a lot of these money stores popping up here and there. My advice is to stay away from them. Not a good practice to get into. I have found over the years that if I don’t have the money to buy things outright, I just don’t buy it. Simple as that. My opinion only of course. With that enjoy your day, make it a good day. Only you can do that.

With that will head on off for my morning tea. Orange pekoe this morning with a touch of turmeric. Good for what ails you along with a nice taste. That is if you like turmeric.

Around Town: Here in Port Loring things are quiet. Around North Bay is another story. Took a drive there yesterday with my lovely wife and stores were very busy. Thinking everyone in Port Loring was there shopping. Good to see as it assures me folks are not just sitting around. Also pays to spread the money around somewhat. We had a great day, visited out son Karl, went for lunch at East Side Mario’s which by the way was quite nice. Food was excellent and waitress’s couldn’t be nicer. Later on went to Twiggs Coffee Roasters for a milk shake. If your in town give it a try as there isn’t a better milk shake to be found anywhere. Of course their coffee is great too. So with that heading off for my morning tea and will see what the day brings my way. Great to be able to sit back and do what ever one wants.

Hunting Information: Not the greatest day for hunting. Can’t really see anyone would want to be out there today. Miserable day for hunting but a great day for playing cards and enjoying nature from the inside looking out. I hunted four days with the Booth family and had no luck. But still have another week so one just never knows. I did see a moose yesterday, had my adrenalin moving a bit till it came into full view. Amazing how quietly they can move through the bush. Also Cadger one of the group did get a shot off at one buck but wasn’t to be. Few stories went around the camp later on about that incident. Also my thanks goes out to Kerry, Randy, Cathy and Jack and of course Cadger, Nick and the rest of the group for an enjoyable few days. Lots of laughs and some good memories were made. Also a special thanks to Kerry for his use of his ATV along with keeping me safe. Fantastic machine, went places I didn’t think was possible. A few that I still don’t think is possible. I had a great time.
Highway Report: Highway 522 is wet and with the high winds care should be taken if out and about.
Around Town: Hardly a car moving east to west. Time of year that folks are taking things easy. I still have some garlic to plant along with burying some old potatoes in hopes they will bring on some new ones come spring. Will get at that once the weather clears up. With that I am heading off for my morning tea and will see what the day has in store. One just never knows. Main thing is to take things in stride. Enjoy your day and stay safe if out there hunting.
