Default Tarp pick up

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

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...

Default For a rain check Mike....

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.

BooBee

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.

Default Lumber jacking again.....

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...
