HAPPY GNU YEAR ALL!!!!,

What a great way to go into the holiday season  with a decent bit of snow....I always love a good white snow this time of year :-)

Susan and I landed back in Edmonton on December 15th and as luck would have it to a balmy +6C at the Edmonton Intl Airport.  Same temperature as up in Durham but much less humidity LOL

GREETINGS ALL!!!

What a great way to go into the holiday season  with a decent bit of snow....I always love a good white snow this time of year :-)

I hear Craig, down in Clairsholm, is installing his fuel tanks in his Series 2a 88".  I've seen the paint work on the body and it's a lovely Bronze Green colour and will look great when he's done!     

I've been getting the fleet serviced with some serious electrical work done on the 110, including converting to a blade fuse panel, and a new heater fan motor with 3 speeds :-)  New belts and tail light too.  Our 2001 disco2 has had it's rear right signal light sorted after competing for space against a little toyota.  New window track in the left rear window so it closes on command LOL.  Even installed some LED bulbs in the headlights!  The 2003 disco2 got new front wheel hub assemblies to take care of a front end vibration in the wheel.    And the 1991 RRC is getting a cruise control installed very soon.

Don Harris, up in Cold Lake, has been a very busy camper with projects he's working on.  I'm looking foward to seeing some of these beasts of burden.

Issac and have decided to do a run into Ruby Falls Saturday, March 14th and it looks like we've got a fare bit of interest in the trip.    Looking forward to it.    Will have to see what the spring thaw and river ice conditions will be like then.  We'll be heading out early Saturday morning for a day of play and then home again in the evening.

If you have something going on send us a note and let us know about your trip or projects.    I'm sure there's lots of interest out there.......
 
As I mentioned in the previous post we have moved our Edmonton area gatherings.......

For those that attended the January gathering the consenus was the location and food was GREAT!  But there was a bit of a concern about the price point of the dinner menu for the shared meal we had.    Isaac was kind enough to pop over and speak with the manager there and they have offered us the option of ordering from their LUNCH MENU (see jpg below).    These prices are very reasonable and all they ask is that we pay a $3/person surcharge for the dinner service.  This looks very reasonable.  So.....we are going to continue using the Pearl River for the foreseeable future, if everyone is on board ;-)
