And now.........................................the rest of the story!!
 Truly a nice day for us to come into Kincardine and do the ole "dog and pony show", as you say John. A long drive both ways but the crowds were good and the weather was fine right up to the thunderstorms but they were later. There were some equipment shortfalls (Helo to higher tasks, Leo to bureaucracy, and Ferret to a blown thermostat) but a rather large display was put on. I thought the best was allowing the old vets to pull the cordy-thingy on the howitzer (snicker) gun. They seemed to get a real charge out of it (pun intended) and it was a nice gesture on the Gunners part. We passed through about 1000 pers at our display of the Coyote. I just left the G-wagen locked beside us. Occasional times I would open up and give my A-material spiele to a VIP. Jon was only able to get a look after he caught me treating the "Beach Beauties" as VIP's!! What's a little blackmail amongst Forum members, eh?! Say what you will, the G-wagen remains the property of Her Majesty's Canadian Armed........wait, that's out now, isn't it? Um, Canadian Forces. We were amply provided for in the usual penthouse suite, gold-plated Beemers to drive and Droit de Signor in the town itself. Peeled grapes do get so boring after awhile. I felt sorry for the Meaford bunch sleeping on the arena floor but at least they were indoors. I guess they knew us Pet boys were special. And not as in Special Olympics "special" either !!  Please enjoy Jon acting as he wasn't about to make off with my jazzy ride. regards D
