Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

I Robot --- +1. The first year of producing a show for radio I started every week's episode with I Robot.

Unfortunately I wasn't clear until my ETA would have been in the dark around 9:30 and have to leave about 90 minutes later to be back for a kids fishing gig Sunday morning in the Kawarthas.
For sure keep me in the loop for another date. I can already see some mods to the 1100's in the photos that I'll want to pick your collective brains about.

August 11 works great for me.
Wife and kids are off visiting grandpa, the FJ will have new wheel bearings (should be in any day now), and the weather will be awesome.

I had planned on doing a Calabogie run, but this would be way better.

Saturday August the 11th there will be a post Maine Bash at my place........bring your swims and your appetite and any booze you want to drink. Attending the rally is not a prerequisite..........but being an FJ owner from Ontario is. Party will start at 2:00 pm........ we have a huge camp fire pit in the back so bring your stories with you.......oh.......and if everyone wants to do a run first.....we could start that at 10:00....any route suggestions should be included in your reply and then everyone can decide......so let me know who is in.......and what meat you would like....Steak,ribs, chicken hamburgers or hotdogs.
Address is 9605 Dufferin st. Maple..........10 kms east of Canada's Wonderland...along Major MacKenzie. Turn right at Dufferin and go 1 km south...top of the hill....look for the green number sign on the Left (east )side and turn into the property...go past the gate and down to the bottom of the hill.....look for the white cottage on the right and just pull in. If you are coming from the east......take 404 north to 16TH Ave and go west until you hit Dufferin St.......turn right at Dufferin and go north about 1.5 Kms....it wil be on the right (east)side. Look forward to meeting everyone else !!! There will be a donation box if you feel like contributing any money for the food and beverages.... :drinks:
