Day 63, Saturday August 24th Sudbury


Day XX Saturday, August 24th

Well we have borrowed my brother Mark’s truck to drive to Sudbury to put the Miata to bed.  Dawson has the small wheels and Julie has the truck for the trip.  Since we have the truck we have decided to load it up with stuff that had ended up at Julie’s moms place cause it would not fit on the boat.

We head out by 8:30 as we are meeting Glenn and Solange at 9:30 in London to get them to sign Transport Canada’s bill of sale document.  Our receipt was insufficient as there was no place on it for Transport Canada to do their paperwork.  It is good to see Glenn and Solange, however they do miss their boat.   We keep our visit short as we are also popping into Guelph to visit Ross.  We have not seen Ross since mid June before he went to Russia to compete.  Another reason for the visit is Ross is also having to send in tax verification to Canada Revenue.  Three of the four of us have been picked for review.  What a pain!  Luckily it only takes about 30 minutes for Julie to locate the receipts and Ross has a photocopier so we are off to lunch at the Fat Duck around the corner from Ross’s place. 

We get on our way by 3:00 but traffic is heavy heading north.  We had thought being later on Saturday all the cottagers would be off the roads, but no luck.  Dawson turns off and takes some back roads and is 30 minutes behind Julie at the Country Style meeting place in Midland.  Jago’s are hosting a dinner party at 7:00 so we are hoping to be not too late. 

It is 7:45 by the time we arrive and the Tyler’s, the Jago’s, Kettles/Smith, and Lynda Moss are already on the patio sipping a sundowner.  We have a fabulous dinner party and hit the sack late after a few games of ping pong.

Cheers Julie and Dawson
