Default Report from on the Road

Grant, Bob and I are highballing down the 401 near Trenton with some HUP goodies in tow. ETA Ottawa 2:30 AM. Weather is good - no more rain! Traffic is light. Bob is giving a history lesson on inline sixes. Grant is taking his turn at the wheel, and I am in the back seat typing and smiling. More later.

Default Report from the Road

Finally off the 401 and heading north to Hammond. Bob is at the wheel for the final leg. We got Raw Dog on the sat radio and no traffic on the country road (except the odd deer and a family of skunks). The coffee is wearing off, but the buzz will last until we leave Hammond for Ottawa. Great haul so far...

Default Off Load

This morning we will be off-loading the HUP and storing it for the long drawn out winter...pictures later. Many thanks to Bob for providing the transport, and Grant for providing the slave labour.

Another example of what happens when powerful tools are left in unsupervised hands!

Whodothunk twenty years ago that there would be this thing known as the internet, nor that it would be possible to type a text message on a portable computer while riding in the backseat of a truck full of rebrobates (well, a truck full of enthousiastic old vehicle rebuilders)?

Terry,

I take exception to the statement "a truck full of rebrobates ". There were three of us and the truck seats five.

The Blackberry is a double edge sword - you can surf neato websites anywhere you get a signal, but it is also an electronic leash where the boss can reach out and reel you in...

You will have to make a stop by the barn in the near future (before the snow socks us in) for an update/tour.
