It was quite a day, I'll have to say. My lovely wife has advised me that I may have another chance to show her what a pleasant weather cruise is all about... only because she met so many folks she thought were quite nice (even though as crazy as she thinks I am for continuing to drive around in the rain with no top).

Bish, the food was great... awesome ribs surrounded by an array of great sides and desserts (Dolly, the Terry-Me-Sue (sp) was worth 3 helpings!). Nice job on the deck too, even tho we didn't get to shoot those clay pigeons which turned to slurry in the box while we were out soaking the wool and leathers.

Nobody in this group will ever query me again about the case of plastic drop cloths and the silicone squeegy I always carry around in my trunk. I was short about 3 bath towels, however.... I planned that based on the forecast.

Fred H... we left too soon to hear the Hamilton Express whistle through Bishop Crossing... but the DollyJay SuperCharger passed just behind us as we left.

Lastly, thanks to all of you who made the sunny drive from Canada to join us in the wetlands. Please don't take this as our norm.... some events whose dates are selected by others come out high and dry!

I only managed one quick foto between squawls, and am pleased to have posted it in NWCC gallery as follows:

Thanks to all... until the next diving (oops, meant driving) event;

best personal regards, Fred & Pat
