Everybody is bailing. No surprise. Guess I will too. Smith and Benzitch, you both still owe me $75 each. And I know where to find you. When you least expect it...

Brakes are shot and I need to replace the rotors as well as the pads, and have not found the time to do it.

Call me and so we can finalize what time you want to leave.

Thumbs up

Take the train to the Hamilton Station and Rick and I can get you from there.
If you look on the east side of the train, as you pass the Elizabeth area you can see an amazing Ferrari Dealership/shop at an overpass.

Rick
Still planing on going? Are you back yet?

The entire riverwalk is closed for some Aids walk.

Possibly it could be rescheduled another weekend.

Well I tried to show up, around 1:45ish... West River Dr. is closed! Drove up and down Kelly Drive a few times, looking for a little collection of MB's anywhere from the Waterworks down to Falls Bridge - no luck. Ah well, my own fault for not PM'ing to get cell phone number(s) I guess.
