Default 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.

1. He could, if he left NLT tomorrow (to allow for time differences and jet lag)!

2. Overrun?? You mean being edumcated by Torontonians...

No passport so Canada won't let me in and I don't know the access code to Vicki's bank account so no funds so I will have to settle for AM I THERE YET? Enjoy and I will live the experience from the computer moniter

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!

Default 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!!!

Bob and Grant,

If recent history tells us anything, keep the Torontonians away from the BBQs! See: http://canadianpress.google.com/arti...iXXm8NH_LabbVA - note stuffed monkey in the hands of what passes for a burly he-man in TO...

Default 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
