What does one do in Ottawa?

Sally and I are booked in to Pari's Motel for tomorrow night. I'm hoping to get there approx 1630 and be at Gracies approx 1700. We'll see if we can set aside a table for 10 at that time, unless one of you closer makes those arrangements. In the meantime, see who else you can round up, for our last Gracies Call before the weather turns to shit!

I called the parade and posted routine orders here at MLU action central..I see some of the Rotters on line when I'm on line so I know they are seeing the message..don't forget your MLU stuff.

Bob,

Fantastic...congrats....you better start building up a good stockpile for Lucifer. If you are out there 5 days of the week you just might clear your land sooner that you think. LOL.

Once again Bob, Congratulations.

Cheers

Was hoping to see that night.....

You can always visit the barn on a weekend....but call first.... we still have recoveries to do and would not want to miss you.

Hi Stuart

Any such trip has to be done during a week day.... preferrably government hours...... 9 to 4:30...... or the yard is closed. Weekend is a look through the fence only deal.....

Might be worth taking a trailer along just in case.

Bob

Prefair has a huge selection of MIL sewing material, plus the usual MIL clothing and parts. The back yard is usually full of all sorts of stuff. Worth a walk around....

Cheers!

The owner of Prefair is a thoroughly Francophone named Jean-Baptiste ---, orJ-B for short. He is a deal maker, and with sufficient warning can find what you want/need/desire in his yard.

FWIW, the front seats in an Iltis are vinyl on foam. I don't think canvas upholstry material would work.
