Jeff
Count me in and I will have a crew of three more to feed..
Four counting me..
And add another for Stew..He won't get out of the house with out his main "Man"...Machine Gun Mary...

SUNRAY will be reporting I expect with a party of two.

Re: Re: Count Me In
 

Alex,

The wife has managed to schedule herself out of this one, so I will be on my own.

I hope to find a St. Vincent de Paul drop off box up that way - for all of the old clothes that people keep dropping off in my Carrier. Mostly small sizes, worn by colourblind migets from the 70's methinks.

Hi Stew..
Sorry ..I thought you were loosing it by forgetting Mary...
You haven't reached curmudgeon age yet but its coming..
Hope you got crew room for me on the parade..
I got a gas can for your collection as a bribe..
If you are full that OK..but a carrier ride would impress my crew..

Photos?
 

STEWART ... by the way, I sent all the photos from the CD of Ottawa ... did you ever receive those? There was a nice close-up one too of LADY LOY from when we had a coffee where i bought the camera ... AFTER I had to drag her away from the kids petting zoo first that is! :D

Thanks ... Karmen

Caldwells,

I expect that everyone is looking forward to another delightful weekend in Chatsworth.

I am doing some last minute fiddling with the machine after a scorcher at the B;ast Off event at the East Elgin Gun Club, but all seems well now.

I'll see you Friday after lunch.

See you there..

PARTS LISTING - 45 HUP
 

Alex,

I got distracted by the tattooed lady at Grace O'Malley's Pub. Did you say that you would bring a HUP parts list to Chatsworth for me? I asked Bob C, but it appears that he was taken by the stories of the tattoos and did not remember anything either...

Re: PARTS LISTING - 45 HUP

Thanks

Alex

Well I don't have to work that weekend or most others anymore. Im more of a Monday to Friday person now. So that would mean that I could go. But since my family has a farm and it is hay time other events are in the way like clearing a 15 acre field of really thick hay. One of my cousins helps out to justify her horse so I figure I should be there even though my two vehicles don't need hay. Ive never discussed with the rest of the family the horse power of the Carrier or CMP as if I did I may be out there by myself doing everything.

I will at least try to use the CMP to pick up stray bales that missed the wagon and i'll post picutres if I do.

Jordan..

Can't you make a "Farm Tractor" parts run to Chatsworth on Saturday at least??
Bring your cousin...
If you can't lie your way out of farm chores,send her....
With her horse...We'll load it up with parts for you..Send a list...

Message to Karmen
 

My dearest Karmen.
Owing to the fact that I cannot attend Chatsworth,because of my youngest daughters' graduation ceremony this Saturday at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel here in Montreal,can you remember to bring the damn camera,so I may rejoice in this once a year happening.Don't do as in Ottawa i.e.forget a CAMERA.Oh yes,don't forget the frying pan9Take a picture of Tonner laid out after the fact!!

Best Regards,

Your two friends
Me and the Shadster(Woof)

And I echo Garry's sentiments
 

Please, PLEASE take lots of pictures of everything - especially the people involved - we should get the rogue's gallery going either here or I'm happy to put it on my site - or at least add it to the people page of my site.

I'd also be really keen to see some (many) shots of the cab 11 FAT.

Re: Message to Karmen
 

My DEAR-esssssssst 2 friends, Garry and Shadster,

NOTE TO YOU:

The dammed Camera is packed , as I sit here typing :p , and WOOF WOOF to you too and DO be prepared to rejoice as you view the Candid-Camera-Shots once the CC4 film is developed to CD. I don't know that Grandpa Tonner ( :rolleyes: ) can drag hisself away from his wee bittie granddaughter or writing to be there though ???

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to your youngest Daughters' (therefore yours as parents) milestone event ... NOTE TO YOU: Don't forget to take your dammed camera!!!! :p SHADOW ... BITE HIM TO REMIND HIM

(frying pan is packed)

Your Friend,

Karmen

Re: And I echo Garry's sentiments
 

Your WISH-ES are my commands ;) ... :note: wait for it :D

Re: And I echo Garry's sentiments
 

I'll put up a subforum as a Rogue's gallery, Keefy, not to worry. ref a cab-11 FAT, did I miss something somewhere? :confused:

:drunk:

Missed there...
 

That's what I noticed, Jif

Re: Keefy
 

Oops. My only defense is that I've been distracted recently. rest assured I shall get appropriate coverage! :o

Garry: Jeez, MLU is family too! If you're going to ignore that, at least send the Shadster in your place... :p

GWB-leave the Shad alone
 

Right now,as I type at this late hour,he's on probably his fourteenth or fifteenth siesta of the day.If I sent him to Chatsworth,the place would look like a small Mexican town at noontime,what with all the sleeping MLU'ers laaying around their empties.Be a good boy this weekend.

I shoud be there tommorrow for the event.

I know how to get to Chatsworth but where do I go from there?

Also what time should I be there.

Jordan

Memories Of Chateau Caldwell
 

Well, lads and lassies, what a weekend!

Bob Carriere and I just returned to Ottawa after having spending the weekend breathing the rarified air of Chatsworth. CC4 was a great chance to swap stories, trade parts, see some great CMP vehicles (and others), and to meet new (and some really old) faces.

The Calwells (heh, heh) were outstanding hosts. They went the extra mile to welcome everyone and to make them feel a part of the greater CMP family. The Ottawa gang (Carriere, Blair and Clarke...wait, that would be CBC...Blair, Carriere and Clarke) extend their thanks for a great weekend.

The trip back to Ottawa was good, as our very keen senses (honed by two nights of "keeping up with the Caldwells") burned thru the "fog of war" and got us home with our loot intact.

This annual event should be noted on your priority list as a "must attend" event - especially for the local enthusiasts. The wealth of knowledge, innovation and craftsmanship on display in Chatsworth is worth a visit. Hob-knobbing with veternans who actually used CMPs in wartime, and meeting new-to-the-hobby enthusiasts made my trip extremely worthwhile. On top of that, herr manual-meister gave a Chatsworth discount on manuals! NTF - check to see if Hell froze over. I am sure that others will add to my observations and will sing the praises of the organizers and attendees.

Next year though, I'll bring the hip waders as the BS to beer ratio increases as the clock ticks past mid-night.

This was the perfect opportunity to make new friends and to re-acquaint myself with old buds. Kudos to the brothers Caldwell and their wives for making CC4 a memorable occasion.

I am looking forward to CC5!

Yet another outstanding effort on behalf of the Caldwells. Pics to come shortly. This last weekend is what this hobby is supposed to be about: the People. We've seen all the hardware (OK, mebbe not that 11-cab FAT :eek: ) but we come to meet those who share our passions for this olde stuffe and all it represents. And the Caldwells do it particularly well. Good onya, byes! Thanks for all.

We need more of these events in Ontario, let's make it happen.

Chris -- think about what we talked about and PM me ref my last.

:cheers: :salute:

Big Thanks To All !!!
 

Dan And Myself, would like to thank all attendees and supporters of this past weekends event, without you it could never have happened.:salute:

We had excellent weather ( again ),a great assortment of vehicles ( 13 in total) including a nice turnout of 4 carriers, and a great bunch of people approx 60 atteneded over the course of the weekend!!

I t was nice to meet several new faces again this year and of course the opportunity to visit with so many of you who have become friends in the last few years.
Several people found parts they needed and various other treasures that people brought to sell or trade.
Everyone seemed to have a great time, and most even looked pretty spry in the morning, hey wait a minute we didn't go to bed till the morning :drunk:

Anyhow once again a big thanks, and we look forward to seeing everyone next June for CC#5, when we will be featuring the CMP as that years vehicle for our 5th year aniversary, see you next year if not sometime before !!!!:D
