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.

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...).

Default Quick up date......

I understand that Don Dingwall will be coming...... and he may have to fight to keep his steak loving son home.....( I will saved a big one for him).....

Phil Waterman from New Hamshire is coming..... so if Frank Moore so we can talk about boats and ships and them rubber things.... oh yeah dinghies.....

I spent over two hours Tuesday evening mowing half the back field and would like to make the following abservations/comments.....

Grant..... next time youoffer to give me a hand fitting the bush hog on the tractor before youleave please be nmore insistant..... I busted a gut doingit alone......

Grant..... when I put the bush hog away for the year... remind me to grease the spline haft on the PTO shaft so it will not rust solid over the Winter...

Rob..... you remember the Re-bar anchors we had to keep the Winter garage in place in the back field...... and how they were frozen into the ground when we relocated the shelter frame to cover Ted's truck late last Fall.......

.... well I found at least two of them when running the bush hog..... one was last seen wizzing fast for the forest and is now 3 inches deep into a maple tree...... the second one I hit with more "aplomb" and is now in orbit due for re-entry late September....

I understand CSA is trying to contact me.....

Will do and post a last minute head count Friday...... late comers are still welcome and I probaly can adjust the meat accordingly up tp next wednesday.

Really looking forward to seeing you all...... even if it has to be through a beer haze......

BooBee

Default Directions...

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?

Quote:
From the West:

Follow 417 through Ottawa. Continue on 417 towards Montreal.
Take Exit 96 at Carlsbad Springs or Exit 88 at Vars.

From the East:

Follow 417 West towards Ottawa .
Take Exit 79 at Limoges or Exit 88 at Vars.

From Exit 96 (Carlsbad Springs) proceed North to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers.

From Exit 88 (Vars) proceed North on 33 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers

From Exit 79 (Limoges) proceed North on 37 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and ...you get the picture.

See the following URL for a road map of the area: [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/tra...eets/Map11.pdf) - zoom in on Vars/Limoges etc...
