Bars and bars
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.    Mike

Steak Stakes
Quote:
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!

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.

Fond Memories of BB2
Quote:
Clive, sir! We hope that you bring "M&M" to the BBQ again this year. 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...).

Grant..... when I put the bush hog away for the year... remind me to grease the spline haft on the PTO shaft so it will not rust solid over the Winter... Rob..... you remember the Re-bar anchors we had to keep the Winter garage in place in the back field...... and how they were frozen into the ground when we relocated the shelter frame to cover Ted's truck late last Fall....... .... well I found at least two of them when running the bush hog..... one was last seen wizzing fast for the forest and is now 3 inches deep into a maple tree...... the second one I hit with more "aplomb" and is now in orbit due for re-entry late September.... I understand CSA is trying to contact me..... Will do and post a last minute head count Friday...... late comers are still welcome and I probaly can adjust the meat accordingly up tp next wednesday. Really looking forward to seeing you all...... even if it has to be through a beer haze...... BooBee
