Ah yes, but I thought you were the ones with the funny accents... that's the way it was both times I was there.

Perhaps I should have used the word 'shower' of Aussies rather than 'bucketload' to more accurately describe us.

We'd bring plenty jars of vegemite as gifts for the Gracies girls. I'm sure that would win their affections.

Default Accents?

When Brits/Aussies/Kiwis sing, they sound just like us...therefore, they have the accents - which, by the way, the gals at Gracies get "slippery" over...

Default It's On!

I have no idea of how many will attend Gracies tomorrow night, so we will sit where we fit! Cheers!

Default Gracies Summer Beer Bash

We did not set any attendance records for the last Beer Call, but those who showed up enjoyed themselves immensely. Don Dingwall, Grant Bowker and I held the high ground while waiting for the stragglers to arrive. We chatted about things CMP when not distracted from the beauty that bounced before us at every turn. Gracie's girls were wonderful as usual.

I am not a spiteful person, but I refuse to post the photos of the Gracie's lovelies because Bob wasn't there. If Bob couldn't enjoy the view(s), then I feel it necessary not to show anyone else.

Gunner and his band of merry men and ladies arrived a little later in the evening after having convoyed themselves from Kars to the Aviation Museum for the Air Rallye Weekend. I'll leave it up to Gunner to discuss the S&P Museum's activities.

A shot of the S&P team: Gunner's dome is visible on the right of the photo, and Grant can be seen at the top left.



At 9PM, we old folks saddled up and rode off into the rain. A subdued ending to a subdued meeting...

The Rotters Morale Officer will be suitably chastised.
