- October 18, 2014, 20:57:32 PMHey KA, good looking family! My only child just turned 18 today. I'd give anything to have another 5 to 10 years of her growing up to look forward to. It seems like yesterday she was only 4 or 5 and needed my wife and I for everything.
I was planning a fishing trip to Arkansas through Veterans Day, but may jump on the bike and ride up to the Arkansas Pig Trail and their Baby Dragon Tail instead.
What is this "Wintering" thing you Yanks are talking of? Lol.

Now why is your face not paint Anaheim colours? Next time I see a Anaheim game being televised in my area I'll watch it to see if I see KA jr. in the crowd......lol.......think it would be Leafs or Sens, perhaps the Habs and we will see it here. Will keep an eye out. If you know that the Ducks are playing a CDN team and you go pm me.....ok.......coolest game on earth.......

- October 18, 2014, 12:03:01 PMHere it is called Remembrance Day, in town all the local schools are bussed over to the local arena, the local Military units, regular and reserve forces, gather with the different Vet groups, and Legion groups and march to the arena, the have a few prayers, a wreath laying and then people go to the Legion for a small lunch and some hang about and talk to the old veterans and recall their old friends and pals.
K-a there are good points of living alone, having really nice hardwood floors, I do take proper precaution's, I put underlay on the floor first, then a sheet of 3/4" plywood, and then the bike is parked on that. Just like to get it moved before the first major snow fall, because I have seen people wait and procrastinate, and then wham they have to leave their bike in the shed or garage and not have time to do an oil change or do a proper winterizing because of the snow and fallen temps.

Normal we get snow the last part of Oct, and some times it stays other times it does not, but 15 Nov is snow time. I have my winter list of projects and mods ready to start.
that's awesome i wish i could bring ethel in the house but where my wife is concerned that like poking the sleeping bear lol. She would rip me to pieces

- October 18, 2014, 09:14:50 AMWe used to call it Armistice day, too. Officially...11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month....that's when all the ceremonies start..

- October 18, 2014, 05:49:41 AMI think veterans day is probably on the 11th of November, we call it rememberance or armistice day, I dress up in a black suit and black overcoat and walk down to the war memorial in the local park where prayers are said and the English and Welsh national anthems are sung, wreaths are left at the memorial monument and we all wander off home in the rain..I'm not at all religious but I attend out of respect.

- October 17, 2014, 16:30:14 PMka, need to be parked and ready for winter, because nothing worse then getting caught with your stuff not done and the sonw falls and things have to suffer for your lack of awareness.
PC enjoy it.

- October 17, 2014, 16:16:13 PMYeah, Ratman thinks that by living up near the North Pole he'll get more presents from Santa. So far he has a pretty impressive firewood collection that the jolly old guy brought him!

- October 17, 2014, 15:10:41 PMMy Sqn does the Veteran's Day thing a touch different, we go to a small town in QC to help them out the Sat. before the 11th, the town Temiscaming, is really happy to see us, and they put on an awesome feed for us, Then they send a contingent over to North Bay to make the parade here nicer. We have been doing it for 20 some years now. Then on the 11th I'll be at the local service as a spectator. Bike is being parked the 31st of Oct, before the snows come.
