First gracies call of the new year

[Barry Churcher]

The northern excursion is over and it was a very pleasant trip except for the extreme cold. On Friday Brian and I took our old friend Jim Fraser out to lunch in Arnprior. Jim has had some health issues but we found him to be back to his old self and on the mend. We could hear Gracie's calling so we left Arnprior for the big city and Gracie's is everything that the Rotters claim. The company was great, the beer is cold, the chicken wings are hot and the waitresses are HOTTER.You can see in Rob's photo that my mouth is hanging open as a result of one of the lovelies walking behind him. The conversation was of course trucks and facts were learned, deals done, rumors started and spread. There will be, as Rob hinted, news from one of the Rotters. Congratulations on a well done. As Terry stated Gunner's slide show of the unwrapping of the tools for the Windsor Carrier was a real treat. We got to see all the tools and spare parts unwrapped from the original crate supplied with the carrier. At 10:00 the band needed the screen removed from in front of the stage so we cleared out. The conversation was continued in the parking lot until the cold made us numb, so farewells were given and off to bed. Today we stopped at Gunner's for the tour and what a lot of nice stuff he has. Thanks to all the Rotters for a great trip. The photo is the first official meeting of the C15TA Owners Club.
Cheers,
Barry
