Default Fredricton Visit

Reaching out to the lads who hail from New Brunswick.
I have been dispatched to work in the Fredricton area on and of for several weeks this spring starting next week.
Looking for any of our MLU crowd out there that might like to meet up?
I will have a couple days off in between our work schedule.

Spring next week? You sure aren't coming back to Manitoba with timelines like that. Spring is still months and months away.

Good one Rob!
What I meant was that our project is slated to run into the spring (April).
Hopefully snow will be gone by then.
I only frequent MB during the 3 good months of the year.

Hi Chris

Not much to see here, MVs or otherwise.

Are you familiar with snow snakes?

Let me know when you're around and I can show you a (very) few sights/sites.

regards
Darrell

All the snow snakes are gone from Manitoba. Unlike the various summer snakes which seem to have a decent survivability rate, the snow snakes tend to gather on the black ashalt to try and get heat into their cold blooded bodies. When they get run over they generally snap in half. Good riddance anyway. They scare the crap out of me when I am shoveling the driveway and they come popping out of the snowbanks.

Hi Rob

Ahh, truly you are an educated man!! You've information vegetable, animal, and mineral.

If you're in Wpg end Feb, I'm there for the last four days of the month on a short course. Checking with my betters if I have auth to rent a car, then plan to haunt around a city I once lived in but I have not been to in about 25 years!!

I need to bring "Off", right?

regards
Darrell

Fredtown?

You"ll have to visit the Luftwaffe Club, and the Pick-a-____. Don't forget the social centre - The Fredricton Boat Club.

Covet the anti-tank guns down town as well
