Thanks for having us over. We all had a swell time - plenty to eat and drink - and plenty of green stories to tell. We made good time down to Oshawa to pick up some old truck tires - then back on teh road to Merry Hill, then Owen Sound. I was unloaded and put away at 7:00 PM. I can hardly wait for the next get together. Well done fellows! Stewart

Hey Stewart
Did you by chance get my roof back to your place at all. Or did it not get deleivered in time? Wilf, by professional driver, do you mean grinding gears  or being able to get from a-b in great times?

Wilf, as much as I deride, criticize, and mock you, I must admit your driving skills are second to none. I have never seen anything you wouldn’t try to drive on a moments notice and end up driving it well. I think you were born with a gear shift in one hand and your “unmentionable” in the other. While I admire your driving skills I must critique your map reading skills or lack thereof. Anyone who could get me lost TWICE on the way to Gordon Yeo’s place near Goderich, has a rare talent. I am sure Gordon’s directions didn’t say to proceed to the sign that says “Welcome to Goderich”, and then turn around and go back a few miles. Since Brian has left for PEI for the summer I haven’t had a chance to compare notes on our trip to BBBBQ 4. I have never been on so many back roads in my life. Thanks Wilf.
 A witty kid that Baker boy. Thanks for bringing up the “professional driver” bit.

Glad to help, errrr.....ummmm not help. You choose. But at least you can't say I don't give options.
 Map reading falls under a different skill then professional driver. Now I on the other hand can do both.

map skills, etc.
in my defence, as miniscule as it may be, the road on the map I had was identified differently than what the sign at intersection read....also, I might add that when I was a "professional driver", I would scribble directions in a notebook, given to me by a dispatcher, over the phone to some obscure locale in northern PQ, or PA, or wherever, and get there without making a wrong turn...W
