Only two more days of deer hunting left for us that love our rifles. I have to say the weather has been pretty good other than a bit of snow would have helped out things for some. But one thing we can’t control and that is the weather. For those that are still hunting the best times to be out there will be from 1:18 PM – 2:18 PM. Good luck to you and stay safe. Don’t need anyone getting hurt after a great two weeks.
Again quiet around town. With these cooler temperatures folks are sleeping in a touch. Which I can’t rightly blame them. Them warm covers makes it pretty hard to even think of getting out iof bed This morning i got the old shop stove perkin’ away to warm it up a touch. Yesterday got my wood all cut for my flutes and today will plane them down to size and get them ready to use. I enjoy these days in the shop, gives me some quiet time of a different sort. While working,one reflects back on the just past summer and for most parts my mind is already thinking of what next year might bring. Nice to be able to do what one wants in life. You know, there is no reason why any one can’t do just that neither, as it is all up to him or her on how they live their life. Some want lots of money, some want fame, but for a very few of us that has worked hard all their life, not asking for anything other than food for the table, which for most parts we grow our own , good health and a warm place to hang his or her hat, well……living a simple life is all that we ask. What is living a simple life? Well, doing what we want, when we want and how we want. Not relying on others, being self efficient, having a few good friends to chat to and if one wants to stop for a coffee or tea he or she does just that, no matter what time of day. Here in Port Loring one is able to do that my friends, surrounded by nature, fresh air and more in things to do than one could ever imagine, that is if one lets Mother Nature into ones life. It’s all up to you. So guess that is it for today, going to go and have a nice cup of tea with my lovely wife, and, well…..let the day take me to where it so chooses. Have a great day my friends and will CYA all back here tomorrow morning.

News For Port Loring
Well things are quiet. Just that time of year folks. Resorts are closed or closing up for the season. Others are out hunting. And quite a few that I know are headin’ south to warmer temperatures. Can’t say I blame them neither, as at the moment the roads are clear of snow and once across the boarder heading into the good old USA, every mile gets warmer, that is if your pointing south. For a good number of years my wife and I headed on down, leaving every year the second week in November. Had a cottage in Sarasota Florida, nice spot, close to everything including some great fishing spots. Hooked on many a big reds down there and sheep heads. Can’t say I tasted any better other than our Walleye up here in Port Loring. Large mouth bass is pretty tasty too though, along with our medium size pike. Had some good times down there and look forward in going down again. Well you all have a great day, stay safe and will say hello right here tomorrow morning.
Good morning. Not a bad lookin’ day out there, sun is shinning and not to cold. Temperature is going to reach 45 °f and then dip to 35 °f later on tonight. Barometer this morning is holding steady at 28:82 in Hg. Winds are calm at 5 MPH coming in from the west. The old weather stick says the best time to be out hunting today will be from 11:53 AM – 12:53 PM, then again from 4:54 PM – 6:54 PM. Had a fellow call yesterday and said he got a book ten minutes into the times I posted yesterday. So guess my old Grandfathers method of figuring out the times is still working for some. Also believe though you got to be in the right place along with the right time. Any ways, today the moon will Rise: 10:01 PM & Set: 11:53 AM. It will be
Overhead: 4:29 AM & Underfoot: 4:54 PM.

Not much happening again today. Did walk down to visit Darrell at the garage here in town for a bit. I have always figured a bit of chattin’ is good for ones soul. Especially with friends. Picked up a jug of Mike’s Maple Syrup while there and will pour a bit of it over some of my lovely wife’s pancakes here this morning. Pretty hard to beat his syrup for taste let me tell ya. Not to forget how good it is for ya. He has it there at the garage for sale if interested. Guess that’s it, so you all have a great day, stay safe and get some sunshine. My wife and I did just that yesterday, did some front porch sittin’ and enjoyed two cups of perked coffee soaking in the sun. Talk to you all tomorrow morning.
Well not to much is happening in an around town. Most folks are in the bush with families, hunting and enjoying life. Myself I have some cleaning to do in my shop so It will be ready to start making my flutes and things. One thing I hate is a shop with things laying all over the place and at the moment that is the way it is. So get myself out there in a bit and straighten things up. Visiting our son in the big city did give me a chance to pick up some shop items, like sandpaper for my machines and different items that one can’t buy around here. I got to go to through that Costco store they got down there and I have to say they sure have a pile of stuff and at good prices too. Only thing I don’t like about it is they make you pay so much a year to shop there. But works out good, as my son is a member so I can go in with him. One also can order on line I see too.
My wife and I did have a good time, living so far apart I don’t get to see my Son Craig, Daughter in law and Grandson that often. So when we do my wife and I try and make the most of it. Was a good trip down and back also, old car perked right along thanks to Kerry here in town, as he is the feller that keeps it running. Well had better go, got a nice hot tea here waiting for me. Every morning my wife has a tea together and do some chattin’ We call it talk a tea. LOL Then later on if weather permits we do some front porch sittin’ with a nice cup of perked organic coffee. One last item, don’t forget that my wife and I are having a book signing at Gulliver’s in North Bay this coming Saturday, November 19 from 1:00 PM till 3:00 PM, hope to see you all there. Have a great day my friends, stay safe if out hunting, get some sunshine which we all need so badly and cya all back here again tomorrow morning.

I always say if there is an old remedy that helps one out, hey why not use it.

There will be a Remembrance Day Service at the Legion on the 11th of November starting at 10:50 AM and a lunch to follow at noon. Then on the 14th if you feel up to a good bowl of chilli, they are having a meal starting at 11:30 AM. All proceeds going to support the Legion Branch. Sounds good to me as I love chilli. Also don’t forget, Meat Pies are being made at the Legion every Thursday, so if you would like some stop by and reserve yours. For those that are in need of some foot care, Neil Julian will be having a Foot Clinic set up at the Legion on November 17th. Call for an appointment 705-757-2516

Moderation folks and common sense, is what is needed. Have a great day.

No news to speak of this morning but maybe have some when I get back home here later on tonight. Have a great day my friends & ….be safe and take in all Nature has to offer.
Good morning. Not much happening here this morning news wise. Folks are heading off to their favorite churches, as I see a few cars heading up and down the Highway. Also we all should be taking a few quiet moments to thank our solders of today and yesteryear for all they have done in keeping us safe here in this Country we call Canada. There will be Remembrance Day service at St Andrew’s United Church from 09:45 – 10:45 this morning. Later on when it warms up some I would think a cup of hot coffee on the front porch soaking up some sunshine, would be in order, as one thing we all do need is Vitamin D my friends and up here in this country, this time of year it can get scarce. So one should be taking advantage of it when she is showing her stuff. Enjoy your day my friends, as being happy is our main objective in life.
So how is every one doing this Sunday morning? Not a bad looking day out there. A bit of frost covers the land, but the sunshine is making an appearance.

The hunters will be getting excited today I am sure, as come tomorrow morning deer season opens. Can’t say I rightly blame them neither. One has to remember though, that safety is the key ingredient when it comes to walking around in the bush with guns. I am sure you all know that though. The old weather stick says the best times to be out there today will be from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM then again from 2:50 PM – 3:50 PM. I give it a one star rating out of five, tomorrow though will start to get better. Just in time too. The moon will Rise: 2:50 PM & will Set: 2:59 AM.
