Good morning everyone, hope you all have a great day. We are going camper shopping today . Damn mice, never thought they climbed trees. Just a note, when you park your camper for the winter check around your A/C unit for gaps.

That sucks Colin...I hope it is an insurance covered scenario. Did the mice destroy it very bad?

The trailer is covered so we will not be out of anything but, it is a pain. The mice got into everything even the ducting for the furnace and A/C and they ruined all the mattress's. The big thing was that the exterminator caught Deer mice in the traps.

Congratulations Gerry, I love having all my toys inside, I couldn't stand to have them in the weather.

Do you camp far from North Bay?
In my 28 X 40 shop I only have one big door and it is a pain.

The last freestyle run the boys really went all out and put on a great show. Best one I've seen. Off to the drags today, can't wait.

In other news, yes Gerry, that is the same generation and model of my Cobra, but mine is a red convertible. Morris, I'm on the fence about selling the Cobra. It pains me to have only put 2-300 kms on it so far this season, but its such a sweet ride it pains me to sell it. I've got it advertised on kijiji for enough to cover the pain of losing it...

In other news, we'll be bringing home a new pooch this evening. My wifes friend works at the vet clinic that we use, they had a lady come in looking to rehome her 2yr old Rottweiler due to a divorce. Her husband wants their house but wants nothing to do with the dog. The lady in moving into a rental property that doesn't allow pets. We met the pooch already, a petite female, she is a beauty and very affectionate. We're pretty excited...we have room both in our hearts and property for 3...

Hope everyone is having good days...
I remember yrs ago when we met up at the Yorkton car show, it was a good time.
I`m on the fence about selling some of my cars but can`t bring myself to do it very often. My motorcycle gets very little use but gives me a lot of smiles per mile.
That`s awesome news about rehoming the pup, I`m glad it`s going to a really great home.

Over the yrs I`ve been quite lucky with avoiding mouse damage but they did get into my Lincoln over the winter.

The blocks are 10 bucks each 'laid'........

Happy camping (shopping) Colin

thats a cheap "lay" gerry

Unfortunately our boxer and the rottie had a personality clash, we had to take her back. Two dominant breeds that couldn't see eye to eye is not a happy home.

Had an awesome day at the drags...giving me the itch to buy/build a race car again of course... Need a good Fox body car...Morris???

I have a male Boxer and female Husky and they get along well. Actually the Husky beats up the Boxer.

I was bummed out a little also, but happy they let it show off the get go rather than in a couple weeks or something.

I was hinting for you to sell your nice Fox What kind of shape is your parts car in? I have a drive train available from a friend who races...

Good morning everyone, Happy Hump Day...

My 87 GT parts car is a rusty parts car and not worth messing with. Luckily it has a factory sun roof which my son can use parts from for his 86 5.0 Capri.
I'm bummed out as the top of my gravel truck cylinder blew out last nite....guess it`s only money and no one got hurt.
