Anyways Greg, I'm going to be living about 200 miles from you anyways.... so once everything is set up, that is not that long a drive for me.... did 7 hrs today.... Allan

Well, if there is a pulp and paper mill in the area, you may be able to see me in the area.... once I get past my initial training, I could be travelling anywhere in the US or Canada.... (I'm going to Marathon ON next week, and a little closer to rockwood in Fort Frances, On the week after that....) Allan

Its noted Brendan... when I have time (move and work and family and information overload) I'll be checking them out... as well as Princess Auto as well, and I believe they have a Lee Valley there too..... all in due time, all in due time..... gotta get past the boxes.... Allan

No Tim, I don't think this guy is well known in those circles... he is just someone that enjoys porsches and likes to take em down to race.... As he put it, he can't keep up with a lot of them with the dual engines, etc.... Allan

Did you ever get the grass done???? Allan

Hi, Just got back from a week in Ottawa.... Love the new job.... met some interesting folks including a Porsche racer from South Carolina. In about 2-3 weeks time, I may be on my way to a mill in Ticonderoga NY, and am wondering if there any members in the area.... maybe I can finally meet someone from the board once my work is done, before travelling back. Allan

Up here we don't got no possums, nor armadillas..... but we got skunks n pocupines..... I hear ya.... Allan

News flash, news flash everyone..... after searching on the net, I've heard about these photos that supposedly don't exist, about Don being in a dress... , you know, the ones that may or may not show up on ebay....since inquiring minds want to know, I did a search, and I found one of the infamous photos in question..... I tried blackmailing Don with this information, but being the tough cookie he is, he said he didn't believe me, and wasn't going to pay.... SO HERE IT IS!!!!!! For those of you with weak stomachs, please abstain!!!!

If you close all doors and windows, start the car up, and stay in the garage.... it is definitely bad..... take it from someone who did air testing in enclosed places.... Allan

From the picture and angle, looks like you could just flip it 180 degrees (east-west) and things should level out just fine... Allan

John, oh, and I thought the subject was the fer sure president of the POC.. as in yep, that's him.... I guess I was wrong about the southern accent... Allan P.S. Please bear with me on the bad jokes..... I'm going to be moving VERY soon and I need something to make sure I don't go nuts..... I hope I don't have to move very often....

Frankie, that has got to be the statement of the year......!!! I'll be chuckling for a while on that one..... or is that up-chuckling.....???? Allan

Eric, That is to avoid the.... "I'm from Lakewood"..... to which is responded "huh, where's that??" "chicago" just west of there.... easier to just say chicago, since its a big area anyways.... cause you'll get the "oh, ok" anyways and on to the next part of the conversation. Allan

So that is where that smell was coming from....... that certain kind of turd... All joking aside, I'm glad that Ed is ok.. that is what is most important.... the material can be changed, and the insurance should handle that.... but the next POC president can't be replaced.... Allan

Gary.... you took the fun outta it..... as well as the H..... And Brendan, nope, isn't on 5th.... Allan

Now how many of you are true Mopar fans???? The reason why I ask, is one of the houses I'll be visiting next week for possible purchase is in...... Chrysler Ontario..... Allan

Up here it ain't the deer, but the moose..... and they don't move like deer either... but they are about 3-5 times their weight..... Looks like I'm gonna end up closer to deer country pretty soon..... Things are really looking up..... might not be online for a bit, but for good reasons... Allan

At the time I was talking with one maker of duals, he told me I could expect a 20 % gain in hp, which would take mine from 100 tp 120 hp..... Allan

Greg, the heat is just to allow the panel to "shrink", since the dent stretched the metal in the area... by heating, popping the dent back and then quenching (before it oil cans), the metal should shrink enough that the oil can effect won't happen. Allan

I'd love to have a dual intake and headers for my large block.... just can't afford em right now...... Allan

Hehe..... its coming along..... believe it or not, this car was part of the 10 minute presentation I had to make.... and my boss loved the presentation, so they know it'll be coming along. They've moved people to Vancouver and to the east coast as well, so I don't think they are worried about the expense a car will add on.... Allan

Well, I'm relieved.... and my wife told me, boy do you ever seem to be relaxed finally.... and that is definitely true. The whole trip went positively, and have no negative impressions on the new company, even after all the people I met... (and the funny thing is that usually someone will give me a negative impression, but not this time...). I can't wait to see what the future holds... I know it won't be easy, but it should be interesting.... And just to mention it, at the beginning of the job..... for you in the northeast US or eastern canada (from Thunder Bay east), if you have a pulp mill in the area, I may be in the area eventually.... and I definitely won't be working 24 hrs a day..... later on it could be the entire US and Canada, how much later depends on my progression.... Hopefully I can take a bit of time to put some faces on the messages around here.... Allan

Well, thanx for all the well wishes.... I just got back home; Left for Ottawa on the 3rd.... tok an hour and a half flight to Montreal, then flew another half hour to Ottawa..... spent the rest of the day exploring Ottawa.... Next day, interviews..... with my boss and my co worker, with HR, did some lab tests, with VP of the company that just came back 2 days before from China, Bangladesh, India...., with the head of the equipment dept, more with my boss and coworker.... lunch with them, and to finish everything off with my boss for dinner..... and relax..... where my boss told me that although it would only be confirmed on Friday, I could rest easy knowing I had the job, because no matter what others would say, he has the final word on things.... On the flight home on Friday, I got confirmation that I have the new job.... so now on to the relocation...... ouch.... Allan
