Another bar...as in 2 up?

If so, definitely antique...just like me!

[servicepub (RIP)]

I am also advised that Gunner also received his St. John Service medal and bar indicating 17 years service to that venerable organization. Methinks that Gunner is going for the US look (no offence to our many Yank friends).

Damn... shudda kept my big OLD mouth shut!

If Her Majesty sees fit to leave me here for BBB I will happily wet the bars at the bar!

Doesn't Joe Drouin (medal mounter extraordinaire) sell some kind of prop with a little wheel on it... to take the weight off'n the left shoulder? If our Forces get any busier we'll all look like banana republic dictators there'll be so much tin on our left chests! Take a look at a Remembrance Day Parade photo from the 70's and compare to today!

Then there was the volunteer in the red t-shirt who wouldn't give serving soldiers a bag lunch at a certain big ceremony involving the opening of a big building full of old military stuff here in Ottawa... he said, with a straight face, to a serving member with eight medals up, "Sorry, bag lunches are only for Veterans!" The gruff reply was, "What do these look like, kid; beer bottle caps?" Needless to say, bag lunches went out to ALL the Veterans.

15-16 August, Al... as per post #2, unless Boobie is just kidding us, hoping to lure us into an ambush, in which case my superior infantry skills will turn the tide...

[Grant Bowker]

As recently as this past weekend Bob was still planning to start events Friday Aug 15.

Bob,

Please carve off three good-sized slabs of beef for the Clan Clarke.

Gunner,

We need to know your optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimates of who is coming from the S&P Museum (use the following formula: (O +4*L +P)/6, where O = Optimistic, L = Likely, and P = Pessimistic.

Udders,

Indicate your steak requirements - if you have not already done so.

The outline plan for the BBQ:

Friday afternoon - set up of camp site and bon fire/arrival of participants - snacks will be available at cost (BYOB and BYOF) - primitive camping will be available
Saturday AM – Breakie at Chez Maries (at your cost), pick up empties, barn tour, test run of barn vehicles, project reviews, set up of parts sales stands (no charge!)
Saturday PM – Lunch at Chez Maries (at your cost) more barn stuff, dinner/BBQ, tres bon fire, outrageous story telling, fireworks (BYOF) beer, loud jokes, and synchronized snoring.
Sunday – Breakie at Chez Marie, traditional dog search and PUFO!

Water and pop will be available for sale at a buck a crack – to help cover some of Bob’s out of pocket expenses. A few Rotters hats will be available (for auction??). If you wish to contribute door prizes (and we will accept CMP doors), then we will be very grateful.

More info to follow!

Geoff, I am sure Mike will have an ample supply of gas...for the carrier, that is...For the record, I don't need drugs, I am high on life (although the altitude varies with beer consumed).

See y'all there!

Roger that on the steaks for me!, can't speak for Craig, might be a closet Vegan! I'm glad that empties will be picked up on Sat morning(I will be empty by then, and may require an ADREP to top up) Looking fwd to the RV!
Cheers, Bill

Bob has been seen recently in his natural habitat, his barn, following his vacation. He has had to go back to work today in order to rest and recover following the vacation.

I'm sure Bob would like to hear soon from anyone who is planning to attend the BBB (who hasn't already spoken up) so that he can plan for food etc. I think he is planning to have a little spare food for those who suddenly find themselves free to attend, but please don't all count on this to be sure you have something to eat. I don't want to see the spectacle of 15 starving souls fighting over the last steak..... on second thought I haven't seen a good dog pack fight lately.

I have $10.00 that says she will venture into Bourget this year...For those of you who did not attend last year, Clive's dog took a self-guided tour of the neighbourhood, but was eventually spotted about 3 km or so south of the barn around Chez Marie (hopefully, Clive will feed her at the BBQ this time...).
