Today driving past Bob's place of employment, I observed an unconscionably large modern 4x4 truck with a distinctive "vanity" plate that would bring a smile to any Rusty Old Trucker on this forum. It isn't Bob's truck that got my attention. I already knew Bob wasn't shy, but that he was parked 3 spaces to the right of the space permanently reserved for the top dog, the big cheese, the man in charge, the one who has to answer to the Numero Uno.

I feel flushed with pride knowing I know someone so important. Or maybe just amused that Bob would just park on top of some insignificant little eco' fuel sipper.

Boobee:

When is yer next trip to the warm part of Ontario? Stewart Loy has a tarp for me and I have a cheque for him!

If'n yer willing perhaps I could reward the delivery of said tarp to the Ottawa area with a case of something cold and fizzy!

Mike, I am heading west to TO area very early tomorrow AM. Coord an RV with Stewart anywhere east of the highway to Orangeville, and I will pick up the tarp for you...

[Bob Carriere]

If Rob's sortie does not work I may be visiting in laws in Grimsby later in September and can easily contact Stew for pick up...

Our most imminent recoveries may take us by the Northern route to Huntsville so no warm weather in that trip....

....other trips will materialize......

In case you are going back to Awphrikka, I can still pick it up if you just make sure to prepay Stew then any of us visiting in the TO area can then pick it up.

We'll be seeing Stewart 05/06 Sept near WIndsor so no sweat grabbing the tarp if necessary - at least it's closer to Nottawa than there...

The trip to the TO area went OK. A deal was agreed upon and delivery is to be announced. More on that later. Gunner, I was surprised (and a bit relieved) when I drove past the S&P Museum this morning (at 100kph...) not to see you in a bathrobe trying to wave me down. There will be more southbound trips in the next few months...

I was also surprised by the damage done by the twisters that ravaged Durham County / Vaughan area. In a few towns it looked like Fall - except the leaves were green and most were still attached to limbs on the ground. Unfortunately, a 11 year old boy was killed during this climate event, but thankfully there were no other fatalities.

Guess will have to clear another 2 or 3 acres of forest to make space.....

....at the rate we are going we are good for only another 20 years....hihihi

Maybe we should apply for a Guvurment grant and start up the Hammond Museum or old folks home for CMPs.......

We already have a government "Grant". You have to be a little more specific when making wishes... As for the name, I think Boobee *HATCH would work, but getting funding would be difficult. The way it works is the gov't pork trough supervisor looks around and if the idea is "new" and expensive, out goes the money. I offer the "Human Rights Museum" as an example - why it is in Canada I don't know... Since we already have the CWM and the S&P Museum in our locale, getting funding will be a great challenge.

In any case, we will have to look into dates and timings for a good sized recovery mission end Sept-early Oct... On the road again...

This was a surveillance photo taken during a recent incursion into "the very few and far between CMP territories". The vehicle and plate are very similar to the one listed above. The perpetrator was apprehended and interrogated using the tired and tested down east method........beer boarding.

Bob! Thank you for stopping and visiting with us, Bill and I both wish that it could have been a bit longer but thanks stopping here as a part of your down east venture. I hope that you and Joyce had a great trip !!

Kind regards
