Well quiet around town but sure isn’t in North Bay. Wife and I decided to take advantage of  Black Friday yesterday and went to town to do our Christmas Shopping. I have to tell you it was so busy one could hardly find a parking spot anywhere and traffic, well….I don’t think anyone works on Friday. LOL Good to see though as folks are out and about and spending money which is a good sign for our stores and their employees.  Every check out, one had to wait to get served.  Even restaurants were lined up.   I would have to say it was busier than Boxing Day.  I have always said we should follow the USA and have Black Friday here in Canada, as why not give us Canadians a bit of a break. Well it’s here my friends and there is tons of great deals out there. I saved over $265.00 on one item.  A few things I bought as I couldn’t pass up the deal LOL will put them away for future gifts.  Also in saying all this folks will stay in Canada and shop which is what we need.  Still two days left my friends.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Very Quiet around town.  I should  say though a lot of stores here in Canada are now embracing Black Friday in hopes of generating more money.  Good for them I say, as us as a whole needs a few breaks once in awhile.  Only thing is that where we live way back in off the beaten trail it isn’t just out the door and into the city shopping.  Takes us about 1 1/2 hours to get there.  But that’s OK.  At any rate there is lots of things on sale today so might pay to pick up a few gifts if that is what you do for Christmas.  My wife and I still buy gifts at Christmas, seems my boys still like waking up to a Christmas tree with gifts under it.  Even though they aren’t boys anymore.  Can’t say I blame them neither.  On another note stay dry and warm folks and get into eating your garlic & onions.  Good couple items to ward off any of them cold and flu bugs that others are carrying around. I was into North Bay on Wednesday and I have to say that the stores were full of folks with colds. Not feeling well and shopping, well I can live with that.  But if one is coughing  and sneezing steadily, I figure they should stay home, as that is just not having any consideration for any one else.  But now a days it seems folks think different than I do. When you do get back to your car make sure you wash your hands. My wife and I pick up a few of them vinegar packages and she carries them in her purse.  Then when we need to get rid of a few germs out they come.  Can be used anywhere.   Can’t be beat and not harmful to us humans, but deadly for cold and flu bugs. Better than any of them disinfectant soaps they have gotten folks using.   Enjoy your day my friends.

Well Deer Season is closing in fast now.  Tomorrow morning is what a lot of folks have been dreaming of for the past few weeks. Myself, well I enjoy going out that’s for sure.  Some venison in the freezer is a plus but enjoying the company of the folks I hunt with is the big reward to me.  I also enjoy nature at its fullest as where we hunt there is nothing but nature surrounding us.  Great feeling to be out there let me tell ya. I suspect a lot of folks will be getting prepared today and I can just visualize the look on their faces, while getting things ready to leave.  Around town here I have never seen so many hunters heading back into their camps. Cars, trucks, campers; even seen five four wheelers with trailers loaded to the hilt, heading back to where they hunt going up the road here in front of my house yesterday. So much orange I had to put my sunglasses on.  Amazing to say the least.  Good to see so many enjoying life though, doing what nature intended us to do.  Enjoy your day my friends and be careful while out there.  A little bit of common sense goes a long way.

Not to much to report.  Quiet around town.  Lots of weather news with Hurricane Sandy making its way inland through Southern Ontario.  If the truth be known they won’t be as bad off as us up here in the north. Reason being the winds are much higher on the outer part of these storms than the center.  But it is a good thing to be ready for what might happen or could happen, especially in the city, as with so many people all in one location anything is possible.   The saying there is safety in numbers is only partly true.  Enjoy your day my friends.

Not to much to report here today. Did go to town yesterday and browsed around some stores.  Quite busy I find in North Bay these days with cars backed up at every stop light.  Folks are moving around that’s for sure.  Then took my Son Karl out for supper for his birthday at Greco’s Pizza & Pasta • 344 Algonquin Ave, North Bay, Ontario • and have to say it was really enjoyable.  Pizza was great and service was also good. Would recommend it to anyone that would like to grab a bite to eat away from home. Should say prices were quite reasonable too.  Total bill for three meals with drinks was $30.00.  Enjoy your day my friends.

It was brought to my attention of what the exact days of Deer Season is here in Port Loring so thought I should clear that up.  Don’t need anyone heading out there on the wrong day.  Not that I think they would without checking but……..just the same.  The exact days in WMU sections 47 & 48 are from November 5th to November 18th.  Looking forward to it myself.  Couple things to remember is to sight in your old rifle  before heading out, along with making sure everything is up to spec.  I was also told by the experts that using two eyes instead of one for a gun with a scope is much better.  I will have to work on that as I for the first time put a scope on my 358 Browning.  Reason being my right eye isn’t as good as it was many years ago.  Should make things interesting I would think.  Also don’t forget to bring along your hunting knife and make sure it is sharp. Nothing worse than dressing a deer with a dull knife.  If hunting in an area you are not sure of might pay to hang a compass on your coat like I do and learn how to use it.  Never know when it might come in handy. If you got it you probably will never need it, if you don’t……well, I think you get my meaning.  Also don’t forget the colors when out there and keep a sharp eye out for your friends and others while hunting.  Make sure you know what your shooting at in other words.  Also keep them rifles pointed in directions away from yourself and your hunting buddies and never, I mean never, lean your gun up against a fence while crossing. Lost a good friend of mine doing just that.  Enjoy the couple weeks my friends, do things right which I am sure you will and everyone including yourself, will have a great few days hunting.

Might want to mark down on your calendar that deer season opens here in Port Loring on the1st of November for two weeks.  Lookin’ forward to it.  For rifles that is, Bow season lasts longer than the two weeks.  A lot of folks I know are just itchin’ to get out there.  Only comes once a year and young and old here in Port Loring sure enjoy it.  For most parts it is their meat for the year as myself, as that is pretty much all the meat I eat.  Good for you and one knows there is no hidden chemicals in it.  Enjoy your day my friends.
