Well, let's just say that I started to dose off with my eyes open on the road at around 7:00pm, following the 1st Westsiders home as some gravel sounds and twitching from the steering wheel spinner got me razzed.

Then the overtaking of dropping to 3rd gear all the way to 120km/hr gave me a rush that kept me awake. FRS are a must, even the cheap non-sub channel ones. It is so convienient on a cruise and keeps us entertained.

I met some wonderful people and faces that I would like to see again. I didn't get around to talking one on one, but definitely would like to meet up again.  

That first twisty road was amazing and I went to sleep dreaming about it. I think most of us kept a fair sized distance to each other and I was near the 1st half of the spirited driving pack.  I was amazed at the long stretch of smooth winding roads. Around here there are so many intersections and stops.

I may have to brave it in the winter up there and stud my snow tires too. I have holidays in November, Logan and Nick!!!  

OH, the cheesecake and the ribs? Nuff said. I want those in my last dying hours or on deathrow as my last meal. Macklum did it to perfection with the ribs and Logan's cake so amazing, I was too embarrassed to ask for a long glass of cold milk and a comforter to snuggle up in.

It is events like these that I feel very honoured, proud ,loved and still have faith in the human race that good people still abound. It feels like an AMWAY convention back in the mid 80's.

Strangers I trust, admire and share warmth for. Some of our on-line antics are just that, and I hope I don't really offend anyone as I try to be the Ghetto joker and simple happy-go-luck guy, except for Bob Armstrong the mad copper.  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I just wish some of us would watch our remarks from time to time.

Anyways, I tend to write too much as noted by my peers so I'll sign off.  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

P.S. hats off to those extreme east location eastsiders that have made the treks out to the GTA events, I have a new found respect for the distance you travel.

And hats off to Rob(Codz) and Binny! Travelling from Windsor to Minden and Back again. My spine felt like I endured a pile driver, I need a chiropractor to decompress these discs. We should have a back rub and tailbone specialist at every meet where long distances are traveled.
Can't wait for the TPC Christmas Dinner!!!!
