Hey Everyone,

That time of year again where we try to find a date that will work for most for the Christmas party, choose a format and location and have a great time!

Location: I'm happy to host all of you at my home and prepare a great meal. We don't have funds for paying to rent an establishment and catered meals, so looking for a home option.

Dates: I'm not available the week of the 7th, but could do Nov 30, Dec 1, 13, 14, 15

Post up your thought, ideas, and preferences!

Thanks Rob for volunteering the Xmas party again this year. You are a trooper!
We are hoping to attend any of those days providing my all-season tires can make it.

Won't make this Rob as I'll be out of the LML for a bit. Thanks for hosting this again and I'm sure it will be great as usual.

That game looks exhausting!

Deep intake of breath before I combust!

Ya’ll need to put some ICE on things and cool down. It’s also too soon to be in a rocker, no matter how exhausted one is. The ultimate lifter for me is on its way; Dec 21st is just around the corner. Will be time to gear up, getting ready for spring, unhooking from the chain of the winter doldrums brought on by the shorter days.

Hey Everyone!
Getting things set up earlier as I'm in PG this week. I'm happy to announce we have a special chef joining us, my daughter Abi is flying in from Calgary and is excited to help cook for us! Andrew and Magdalena are also pitching in so we have lots of hands.

What we may need are some extra chairs so if you remember, throw your camping chair in the truck in case we need it.

Planning to seat 25-30.

 

[AJAEbj42]

Santa showed up and dropped off the Christmas Party Raffle Prizes!

No, they are not all from Amazon, I've just been saving up all of the boxes and envelopes over the year to have a theme LOL

Yes, there is an ARB FRIDGE hiding in the corner! Many boxes contain two gifts which will make the 'gift stealing' game a lot of fun!

 

[Scalp]

Rob, due to our mobility problems, could we please get a
parking spot in your driveway, thanks.
Bill & Willy

 

[AJAEbj42]

Yes of course, Bill! Right up front near the garage door!

 

[AJAEbj42]

One more teaser...... We have party gifts too.... Each person can take two of the three home. New mug design, trucker hat and toques! They make great gifts!

Plus if you're interested in aerospace and project management, you are also welcome to a copy of my book "All At Max" I finally got published this year. It's a story of the next generation RJ85 airtanker development that Mat and I worked on 2012-2014.

See you tomorrow!

 

[cruiserpilot]

I want a copy of that book. Probably a couple. Is it gonna be on the BC Ferry bookshelf?

Not for a bit yet. But I can mail to you!

 

[bladedog]

For gosh, darn, firetrucks heck... there's a landslide north of Lions Bay on Hwy99 and route is closed in both directions! Next update at 12:00pm. To West Harrison or not to West Harrison, that is the question.

 

[bladedog]

Well, well see what the DriveBC 3pm update says about Hwy99 closure.
These are ready to go should the road be open. Let's see who figures out what the designs are!
