    Hi from Kitchener, ON

    My Cell is 905-783-4769. Ordinarily, if you can remember that far back, it would have been a pleasure to welcome you into my shell hole for a natter. However as things stand right now and having a rather poorly and vulnerable wife too, I am erring on the side of caution as far as interactions...

    Lovely reply! I think everybody on this site can relate to the enthusiasm, initiative, skill set, determination and the dry humour Bert displays in the film.

    Good morning Brent. Thanks for the offer of the brackets. Over the years temptation has often got the better of me and I have come unstuck mixing alloys of unknown specs. It is impossible to visually analyze an aluminium casting and determine it's composition. Actually the same goes for any just...
