All roads begin or end here in Sarnia/Port Huron depending on your coming or going, the 402, I69, I94

Anyone coming in their small pleasure craft like Dave did last summer please moor it out back next to my bike.

Looks like we're gonna have sunny 50F weather for Sunday, too.

Check this link throughout the week and don't let weather be your reason for not making the journey. Sarnia is 90 minutes west from Stratford. Toronto or Hamilton/Niagara is another 90 minutes east of Stratford.

The Vac-U-Tronic Tester will be on-site all day long beside the yardstick for assessing hoses young & old, tight or leaking, short or long...

Pete,
I have to agree with Terry.
I'd love to visit Sarnia for a mini meet at your place.
We'd all have an absolute blast.
We'd cook, play with machines, eat, play with more machines, etc.
I expect Dave will be there.
And I know you have a house full of appliance drama ... what more could anyone associated with this club want.
I'd be in heaven for the entire weekend.
I wish you all a great time.
Will be thinking of you all.
At a bare minimum, you have to make it to convention again this year.
I'm expecting you (and Dave) to make it to Chicago in June.
In the meantime, we'll all be watching and reading.
Take Great Care
Pat
 
Pat, can you even imagine the fun we would have with all of Pete's neat appliance????
 
Dave, I had no idea your pleasure unit was so sleek. And Pete, Great bike! Any tats to go along with that? Hope you have a great time at your mini-meet! Will you be serving coffee? Do you need a coffee pot?

Pete.....BTW

The management of the Snellville Plaza Suites says there are rooms available if you run out of space! Recently redecorated!

Would be nice if everyone could come but just one of the downsides of us all living in such a vast land mass I guess.

BTW Mr Rick that really is my bike and I remain as always wholesome of mind and body and tat-free.
Not bad for 26 y.o. with low mileage. The bike I mean, not me though one could easily be confused.

While my sleek pleasure unit is compact, transportable and sporty...and by any measure not as ostentatious as that Lake Yacht.

Still, not bad for a 37 year old gullwing tri-hull bowrider lake craft propelled by a 27 year old 4 cylinder Merc 55 for waterskiing or just driftin' along with the swans & herons.

I love water skiing!

I haven't done it in about ten years....wonder if my knees could take it.



Pete, I had a Honda 550 years and years ago. Got it used, and re-built it. I gave it up when I was going down the road about 80 MPH and thought.....What the HELL am I doing? I got so scared, I put it away. Sold it at a garage sale. What kind is yours? Looks great! Love the color.


Rick
 
nice bike

My dad has a Harley.

I love motorcycles. But I dont think I will be riding anything other than a Kawasaki ninja. :)
 
Rick it's an 83 Goldwing Aspencade. I bought it from the neighbors moving sale in 06 for a song. It's like new and only has about 20,000 miles on it which really is nothing.

I had a 79 Goldwing before this one that'd I'd bought new in 79 and kept all these years but it needed a lot of work so I got rid of it. Would have cost more to fix than to buy this one and I had about 90,000 miles on that one. I went everywhere on it.. Truthfully I was at Mt. St. Helens the early morning it blew 5/18/80 on my way south along I5 to California. That was exciting. Plus I went almost everywhere on it criss crossing Canada and the US.. I've been to just about every state now except for Hawaii and about 5 others.
I don't have near the stamina now that I used to though and I am nervous in city traffic whereas I never used to be so I won't be riding it to Chicago LOL I won't even drive it to through Detroit on the expressways and I know my way round there, too crazy nowadays.
 
Bumping to the top

Just in case anyone else in the eastern Michigan / SW Ontario wishes to come on Sunday RSVP

Dave don't forget you latex either.
Chad bring you leaky hose... put it in the trunk now, today, or you'll get the V8 slap.

Pat/Terry wished you could be here as well and take some of this stuff home with you as well LOL

My workshop
I'm getting there.


I'm trying to straighten the place out last night to make some room in the basement, the pit of lost causes LOL

around the corner in the "wreck" room I'm beginning to find space. What I need is a garbage day today not next Tuesday

wow, its just like Alladian's cave down there.
I like that orange and brown Dial A Matic. What is the pink one beside it?
