Anybody want anything from Ontario?

[historicalarms]

I hear ya Dave...strange things can happen to seals, bearings and belts after sitting for month's...especially fuel systems if they haven't been treated with conditioner. That floating cloudy green algae lump that forms in fuel tanks doesn't help filter life at all !!!

Exactly!! I think I’ll try and put a few miles on it that first weekend as a shake down run. See what all works, doesn’t work and what’s gonna fall off

Various friends have suggested visiting Lake Abraham and Lake Moraine. I wanted to see Lake Louise the last time I was there but it didn’t work out. Anybody got any input about those goals?

As in wring the truck out trips?

Possibly, except I don’t think commercial vehicles are allowed on the parkway, from what I remember
If it’s not a working truck does that make it an RV and good to go?

If that's the case, qualifying as an RV would probably depend upon what kind of licence plate was hung on it.

Dunno…... might be worth a phone call.

This brings up an interesting question..... what plate are you driving it home with?

You visited Lake Abraham the first trip this spring. It will be a lot fuller of water this time of year tho...and yes the parkway is closed to non essential truck traffic.

I'm good for 9th or 10th...boss has family coming for Thanksgiving on the 11th....and with the way she shoots, we both know we don't want to pizz her off.

Actually she made the suggestion that if you do arrive in the evening of the 9th and Craig wants to come to red deer, I can meet you there, we will come back here for the night and go to Edmonton in the morning.

I’m set to arrive 18:30-ish in Calgary, Oct 9th.

I KNEW Lake Abraham rung a bell for some reason.

Yes, the boss needs to be kept happy. She runs a mean kitchen, let’s not do anything to mess up a good thing

I haven’t done it in years but we use to get a point a to point b permit to get vehicles home but I can’t remember if it was through motor vehicles or the police.

I spoke with a registry agent who explained the process for me. As far as I know it’s through motor vehicles

Ha Ha Im not so sure "point to point" through the parkway qualifies under an "Edmonton to Ontario" scenario.

Craig, you set up with David for whatever works for both of you and I will conform to your preference weather it be a meet-up later on 9th or anytime on the 10th.

If David is ok with it, I'll pick him up at the airport on the 9th and drive him to you for a linkup in Red Deer. Does that work for every one?

Thanks in advance

@Chicken lights do you have a sense of your next trip route?

@Chicken lights do you have a sense of your next trip route?

The one I’m on currently?
Or on the way home from Alberta?

 

[Chicken lights]

Moved this little Doosan mill down to Connecticut last week.
I hate chip conveyors with a passion by the way. They are so awkward to get straps on.

 

[DavidR8]

Both I suppose.
I’ve got a fellow in Maryville TN who’s sending me a box of tooling.
Was just thinking that if you were anywhere nearby that I might be able to coerce you into bringing it to Canada to save some shipping costs.

I’ve got a friend in Kentucky you can mail stuff to, but no idea when I’ll be down to see him again. Same as I told @Brent H its cheap but it’s not fast
Think it was around $150 USD difference to ship to Kentucky versus Canada for Brent
