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!!!

Boob

Default 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

Sshhhhhh..... don't ask him or he won't let you near them, an' then you won't be able to pinch one as per our devious plan .....

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...

We have amended the activity list somewhat. We plan to shoe-horn these events into the already advertised schedule:

Saturday:

- Barn and wagon lines tour;
- Test run of Bob's rolling frame;
- Dodge engine pull ('55 ambulance);
- Cross country run to the S&P Museum for those who want to see what keeps Mike (AKA Gunner) busy - transport will depend on who wants to go and what is available. WARNING - you may be recruited to drive one of his vehicles to BBB333 and return (CCKW/deuce and a half/etc...);
- C15 strip down (third year running and still not stripped); and/or
- sitting on one's can quaffing ale (s).

Note on S&P Convoy 2008: Two factors will limit Mike's convoy this year - a lack of drivers and the cost of fuel. So, here is a chance for a lucky chap with driving experience to pilot one of Mike's treasures. A local consulting company has anted up to cover some of Mike's fuel costs, so we will see at least one truck/gun combo at BBB333.
