The good news for me this Fathers Day is that Janet let me off the hook for a birthday party next Sunday in Kitchener. Now I can cut the grass etc. on Sunday and attend your bash on Saturday.
At this point it looks like I will have the pleasure of a Mr. Winnington Ball AKA Jiff as my co pilot/ navigator. I will be acting as his batman for the day. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Please tell me that the old curmudgeon from Ottawa will only be there on Sunday . 
Cheers,

If I am the Ottawa "Old curmudgeon" that you are refering to,I resemble that remark!!
And is your little bait breath friend going with you also..??
Or is he chowing down on some of those awful PEI lobsters and that unGodly Moose head beer...?
And if this e-mail sounds like sour grapes...it is...because of my addled nephew in Edmonton,the thoughtless whelp, who is getting hitched in July , has triggered a family reunion..
So I will miss CC6,my favourite gather up...And then there is my own flesh and blood,daughter number two,who while doing her masters at McGill had moving day on the 1 July ,which is the official moving day for everyone in PQ,pressed me into service to drive the cube van from Ottawa into the abyss of Montreal ,causing a miss at CC3....and now the same daughter number two ,married these past six year has decieded she must bear my grandchild in August...putting the kybosh on my annual Coe Hill excursion,and possible BBB2 ..the official Eastern Ontario-Western Quebec CMP gather up..
So yes..I'm bitter and twisted that I will miss all the fun this summer with the grease and the rust and the oil,the burning smell of clutch and the grinding of the old crash box and all the good friends I have met over the years..
All I can hope for is lots of pictures and storys on MLU..
and you have a great summer...
