Steak Stakes
Quote:
Please carve off three good-sized slabs of beef for the Clan Clarke. Gunner, We need to know your optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimates of who is coming from the S&P Museum (use the following formula: (O +4*L +P)/6, where O = Optimistic, L = Likely, and P = Pessimistic. Udders, Indicate your steak requirements - if you have not already done so. The outline plan for the BBQ: Friday afternoon - set up of camp site and bon fire/arrival of participants - snacks will be available at cost (BYOB and BYOF) - primitive camping will be available Saturday AM – Breakie at Chez Maries (at your cost), pick up empties, barn tour, test run of barn vehicles, project reviews, set up of parts sales stands (no charge!) Saturday PM – Lunch at Chez Maries (at your cost) more barn stuff, dinner/BBQ, tres bon fire, outrageous story telling, fireworks (BYOF) beer, loud jokes, and synchronized snoring. Sunday – Breakie at Chez Marie, traditional dog search and PUFO! Water and pop will be available for sale at a buck a crack – to help cover some of Bob’s out of pocket expenses. A few Rotters hats will be available (for auction??). If you wish to contribute door prizes (and we will accept CMP doors), then we will be very grateful. More info to follow!

Bob has been seen recently in his natural habitat, his barn, following his vacation. He has had to go back to work today in order to rest and recover following the vacation.
I'm sure Bob would like to hear soon from anyone who is planning to attend the BBB (who hasn't already spoken up) so that he can plan for food etc. I think he is planning to have a little spare food for those who suddenly find themselves free to attend, but please don't all count on this to be sure you have something to eat. I don't want to see the spectacle of 15 starving souls fighting over the last steak..... on second thought I haven't seen a good dog pack fight lately.

Fond Memories of BB2
Quote:
Clive, sir! We hope that you bring "M&M" to the BBQ again this year. I have $10.00 that says she will venture into Bourget this year...For those of you who did not attend last year, Clive's dog took a self-guided tour of the neighbourhood, but was eventually spotted about 3 km or so south of the barn around Chez Marie (hopefully, Clive will feed her at the BBQ this time...).

I pinched the following off the BB2 page, but I wonder if one of you gentlemen couldn't be a bit more specific regards coming from the GTA? Perhaps a Googlemaps link as well, complete with address?

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
Yes, you are close, only a bit NE of Bob's house. There are only two problems:
1. I doubt you'll get here in time for the weekend 2. if you can find us, we will probably be overrun by Torontonians. Such is life.

S&P at the BBB
Hi Guys!
Back to work after five glorious weeks of leave... most of it spent doing projects for family members and not getting many of my own done!  The S&P will bring the CCKW towing the 6 pounder and the M135 towing the float trailer with the Windsor on board. The M38A1 may come along as well. The leave was LWOP ("... without pay) so my coffers are completely empty after funding the airshow participation and getting the container from the UK to Ottawa (always double your cost estimates as the delays imposed at many points ended up killing me!  ). Your kind offers to fund the fuel costs are much appreciated and most welcome. Even powder for the blanks has gone up 42% since last year and it don't got no petroleum in it!There will be, as noted by RHC, me and two or three others. Graeme just informed me that he has to work Sat so he might drop by in the evening for the BBQ but he said don't count on him. We will dep the S&P late AM on Sat and expect to land in Cheney about 1430... 1500 ish! We will dep after the traditional dog search caused by the firing of the reveille round in the morning! See you there! Ubique! Mike

Computer Woes
Quote:
Grant, I think that his herd of cats caused the shorts that killed the computers. With 12 cats rubbing their static charged fur against the cabinets the computers are doomed! So why does Bob have so many cats? He refuses to turn up the heat in winter time and the cats act as mobile heaters...thereby allowing him to spend more of his income on CMPs, computers and BBQs! Two more wakies!

The real reason....... for 12 kats!!!
....... with all the little furry creatures running around and Ottawa's cold Winters I had to built....... a cat house......
So now I can brag about going to the cat house.... in fact having my own cat house........ ....... computers are known to be linked symbiotically..... even in awireless set up.......viruses canbe air born..... or hair born!!!! How else can you explain why two seperate computers crash within a few days of each other....... one the screen died.... the other the video card died...... funeral plans will be annouced at a later date... See you soon!!! Boob

Cats and Computers
Speaking of cats and computers my problem is either they are sleeping on the monitor or walking on keyboard.
But thinking of your problem have you check the cooling fan on your computers for hairballs? Cheers See you tomorrow

 Ahem.... er, Ladies & Gentlemen of the Eastern Canadian & U.S. ilk - we're almost at the starting post, and if you have nothing else planned for the weekend* I would urge you to consider making the jaunt to Hammond for what promises to be a great weekend! Amongst other things and aside from the great comraderie (as always), you will see the only running Windsor Carrier in North America as well as have a chance to be a running target for the 6 pdr!! Think of what we could tell your children & grandchildren in your absence!!  Seriously folks, this has become a great summer tradition in the Greater Ottawa Area and it's worth the effort getting there! We hope to see you... *OK, stupid parody of what actor playing what role in what movie? Ten points to the first to guess...
