Prairie Command/Shilo outing 2017 May

[Bob Carriere]

Those look very familiar.

Rob, you think mosquitoes are bad ......we had snow on and off all day..... not enough to accumulate but still we are in May......

Cheers

Yes, they should be familiar. I have been buying various pieces and parts for them over the past winter, and with sandblasting season now here, I have to dig a new sandpit and get busy.

Bob, Bob, Bob.....don't complain about snow to a Manitoban......I remember shoveling the tennis courts in mid June so we could play tennis. And we just had a major snowstorm that shut things down about a month back. There is still snow in some ditches and on some hills, but admittedly it is getting harder to find.

It may well have been Gord Falk was trying to plant the woodticks and mosquitos in shilo. He is a retired Natural resources officer......at the BBQ portion he mentioned we should not kill a woodtick we find on ourselves.....we have to gently remove him and set him back free. After all, without some "enemy of the year", be it Lyme disease from the ticks, or WestNile Virus from the mosquitos, they would be out of a job.

Whoever dies with the most toys wins. However, since I am a little older than you, I have to make sure I have a healthy edge, in case you wait until after I am gone to try and catch up and surpass me.

Of course, the wives, who will be left with the mess to clean up, may disagree with my synopsis.
