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.

Default We had a great time!

Bob!

Bill and I arrived home around 1900 our time, 1800 your time. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that we had an absolute wonderful time, and you are so right... it went way too fast.

I especially enjoyed meeting and talking to all of the other facinating people that were there....... I really hope that you have another one next year! Bill and I agreed that the trip is really worth it.

Now he was the de-facto photo taker and navigator so he will hopefully get some pictures out.

Once again thank you very much for your warm hospitality for the awesome time!!

Default I want to add my thanks as well

Craig- I want to echo your thoughts, thanks to Bob, Joyce, Rob, Grant and everyone else who help make a enjoyable weekend possible.

My thanks also to everyone who attended and gave the crazy CMPer from south of the border the chance to talk CMP all weekend.

Cheers

Phil
