Hey you had some humid days down there this week but looks like it'll be nice for the weekend after the thunderstorm. I'm not sure I'm going to make it down but I might, how long are you guys there for?

Rocky, we're going to blow back home across the lake sometime around noon on Sunday. Got to get packed for transport up to Orillia in a day or two. This is our 'sold the house - conditional - holiday! Still seems like lots of vacant berths around the marina.
Man!!! - You should see the weather coming through here, right now! So much for opening ceremonies....

I had no idea y'all were around this weekend.

Well, I'm out on the water tomorrow. Maybe I'll swing by.

Hope the sale goes through, you guys are overdue for it to happen; you got a place in Orillia already?

Yeah. Yeah that's it... Death Leotard.

Hey Matt I'm in, if there are backstage passes, and I were 20 (OK 40) years younger.

1st. - Slipped in B15 (gas dock side). Walkout code 421 (sssh!)

2nd. - Main band in the park comes on at 11pm (big groan...) good luck with that one - otherwise back in the floatie thing.

3rd. - a). Just sold - conditionally on the sale of a Saskatchewan (say three times fast!) farm. If it works, the old homestead is going to become the Pygmy goat milk capitol of Niagara. We had two offers on the table at once.
b). Nothing but an endlessly renewing number of internet choices yet, but we're redocking in Orillia for the coming week to begin taking a closer look at things. No advance offers like last time. Not doing that (FamousLastWords)!

4th. - Down to one phone - economizing (guess who won that one.) my old number is consigned to the dustbin of history.

Apart from all that, this scene here in Port Credit, this weekend, is one of the most amazing collections of R & B street bands you'll ever see. We're sitting here in the Crike (tired - need short nap) listening to one of several bands scheduled at the marina location, loudly bouncing of the wall of the apartment building adjacent and flooding the marina area.
It'd also be a good spot for the timing of a future MMOR.
Tequila anyone?

Thank's buddy! Maybe next time around....
The ending of the festivities, and the epic journey home to Niagara was memorable. Lil ole Port Credit can certainly put one on.
We pulled two weeks later and did the drive to Orillia for the fall colors (colours), but I'll give a brief glimpse in another post.
Take care.
