The bugger is unkillable :

Hey Alex, It was totally my pleasure meeting you and yapping on the mercy mission run

I'm really sorry I'll be missing out on the CC5 and other events because I so totally enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing everyones pride-and-joy-toys-on-wheels ... sitting and riding in them was even better ... yes ... I have tons of good memories of good people and good times. Who knows, maybe I'll hit the lotto or other windfall good fortune and be able to attend some future events!

Final destination, after stopping in Calgary for a day or so, is to do the Greyhound, BC bound ... see your PM's
