First gracies call of the new year

Geoff, Yep. Sums it up nicely.

Clive, It will be interesting to see you "cut loose" after your two beer...

[Grant Bowker]

I think I can make any of 12-17 Jan work, prefer to avoid 12th.

As the junior man of the Hammond Gang.............I volunteer to be the designated driver for this social gathering.......

I d'ont have a clue what I have volunteered for but if there is going to be any comraderie, jokes, laughs and yes, maybe tear please count me in.

My social calender states I am available any night from Jan 02 through to Jan 30th. PS: My daughter giving birth to her second child may impede my movements somewhere around the 25th.

Guy, Some of us may take you up on your offer. Bring your camera - it comes in handy for blackmail purposes. It will be a pleasure to intro you to some of our more august members of the ROTTERS. Hopefully we can entice Pilon, Greg, Gunner and a few others to join us. We know they lurk in this forum...

It would seem at first blush that the 16th is the day. Mark it on your calendars - I would put it on the MLU calendar but I can't seem to get it to work...

Moo! Moo! Consider this Jeeper herded to Gracies on Fri 16th. I'll be interested in hearing Clive's tales of predeployment training. Small party tasks. Negotiation scenarios. Student syndicate discussions. Transient Quarters in Kingston (shudder). And all the resultant tales, 'There I was facing a angry mob armed with my Field Message Pad and a copy of the UN Charter on the Rights of the Downtrodden.'

Maybe that couple who sat at the table next to ours at the last Colloqium will return and break out in spontanious dances again ... It was a sight I hardly expected at a beer and wings type roadhouse.

That shit's for you Army types. RCMP pre-deployment training includes the correct spelling for the word Tayzer, Tahzar, Taisur.... (whatever), ensuring that the yellow stripe is on the pant leg and not on the shirt back and that any performances of "Sweet Marie" are sung in a manly harmony. This 9-day training will take place at an undisclosed hotel on the Aylmer road. Finding it - and arriving on time - goes a long way towards passing the pre-deployment training.

Terry, Does one Jeep constitute a herd, or have you glommed on to another green delight? In any case you may want to change your horn...(Moo! Moo???)
