Greg, Wonderful. If you wish to fill your trunk with rags and other items, the Hammond Quartet will gratefully receive them. As well, what is your list price for mod ends (one front one rear)? If you have a few centers remaining, I am in the market.

The Gough and Churcher travelling road show will have occassion to be in the Eastern Ontario region on Jan. 16th, doing a little networking and some border raiding. We thought it appropriate that we attend Clive's send off. The only hitch is that according to that Blair guy there are certain qualifications that must be met in order to join this Rotter fraternity. I have already promised to buy Alex beer (how many???) but we are in desperate need of the rest of the requirements as the date is fast approaching and we may need to study.

I am getting a little anxious but Brian seems to think that since Alex qualified for admission the standards must be low. A reply from the convener at his earliest would be appreciated.
The newbie or wannabe or whatever is appropriate

Barry..
I will be booking the seating so that Gunner can do his dog and pony slide show..and I'll be sure to reserve Gough's chair close to the ventilation system...I don't know if I can hack those vile lobster and beer farts he lets...I been away from the East coast for too long...
It will be great to have our Southern Brothers in for a little Eastern hospitality..
But I can't insure security If Clive shows up in his kilt...
In an Irish pub,some drunken Irishman will want to dance with him.....Jeez..It could be me.......!!
Oh ..the time we'll have..and the lies we'll tell...
Aye lads.....It'll be a cooker..!!

Barry, You answered your own question with the "Alex" observation. Sort of a play on the old saw " I would never join a club that would have me". In any case, I can vouch for you - you being a C15TA owner and all. Bring a disk with some photos of your wonderful vehicle, and we will waive the "buy Alex beer" requirement.

Brian will of course be given a place of honour, he being a HUP owner and the acknowledged centre of excellence for all things HUP (I fully expect Bob Carriere to pipe up about HUPs not being a real CMP, but he is entitled to his opinions being one of the Charter Members of the ROTTERs).

If things work out alright, I should be back from Kingston in time to make the 5PM start. We are really looking forward to your visit.

PS - if you are available Saturday, a tour of the Hammond Barn can be arranged...

The trick is to raise your standards in women once you have seen the lovelies at Gracie's and the inevitale lowering of your standards on men as you will be in the company of ROTTERS - all in all a fair trade-off.

B&B:

Here's hoping you will make time for a visit to the Eastern Ontario C15TA, also home of the most wondrous Windsor Carrier and cool new CCKW- not a CMP but rather cute in its own way!

The S&P awaits your presence!

I had a cutomer today just back from our nation's capital and I asked her about the weather. Her reply was "Ottawa is Hell". Am I to assume this means it is hotter than Hell and the snow has melted? If so I will be the guy with the belly in the Hawiian shirt and sandals.

Looking forward to the trip and both offers for Saturday sound great. We tried to make the Hammond Barn once with Dirk but it didn't work out and the only time I was at S&P
Gunner wasn't there. As I have a US 1 1/2 ton Chevy it will be a treat to see the new CCKW and of course the TA speaks for itself.

Regards
Barry

From CTV News Ottawa: Three popular Ottawa bars are facing temporary liquor licence suspensions for over-serving customers in what the province says has become a "pattern of conduct after NHL hockey games."

Fortunately, our Grace O'Malley's remains pure and unsullied. It will be serving the Guinness next Friday night to slake the thirst of the assembled ROTTERS!

So, who the hell was Grace O'Malley? Good question that we never really pondered when the beer was flowing. However, here is what I found out about our girl on the interweb:

Gráinne Ní Mháille (c. 1530 – c. 1603), also known as Granuaile or Gráinne Mhaol, known in English as Grace O'Malley, is an important figure in Irish folklore, but was in fact a larger-than-life figure from 16th century Irish history. O'Malley is sometimes known as "The Sea Queen Of Connaught".

MLU makes you smarter, and Guinness makes you a better dancer...
