Jafo Embarks On A Road Trip
And only 36 years since the last one.....
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 by Jafo | Discussion: Community
Tomorrow morning [Friday, Aus time] I'm on a plane to the US and Canada. All things going well [the US doesn't chuck me out for being unintelligible] I'll be visiting all the great guys and gals at Stardock HQ.
Yay for me..... It's been a loooong time coming. I've known these guys for about a decade so it'll be a 'buzz' to finally catch up with them in 'Real Life' [tm].
In all of my history with skinners/skinning I've only met 3 skinners before, all of whom were from Oz, like me.....so this will likely be sensory overload [or something]...
I have a beat-up old laptop that'll hopefully keep me in contact here on my travels....and if I get a chance on the road I'll try to post the odd pic or two, but I'll likely not be on quite as frequently/long as is usual.
If you've the inclination to PM or otherwise contact me re issues with Wincustomize and/or its inhabitants it may be a better bet for the next few weeks to badger Island Dog in lieu.....[he yearns for your contact]....
Hopefully I can get one or two group mug-shots at Stardock on the 16th to show you what an ugly - er - wonderful bunch of people they all are....
Take care of each other...I'll be busy taking photos....
Cheers,
Paul.

Day 11 day trip to Quebec ,,,, beer 54 back in Montreal.
Bit worried about Niagara.....if the fall in Quebec is actually higher......Niagara is likely gonna be a fizzer....like seeing the Mona Lisa in RL [tm]...so small.....
Quebec is a nice place....provided you stay aware much of it is rebuilt...and not as old as its history....
Got a great tee shirt there.....about moose droppings...
Tomorrow is slack time.... gonna chill and drink beer...

I had a couple of good laughs reading this thread. 
It looks like you're having a great trip, Jafo.

Day 12....back in Montreal...beer 59.... [one of them was probably the worst EVER in 54 years [and Canadian]]...don't WANT to remember its name...but it was referred to as 'rouge'.....[probably the colour of the blood you wished to let in lieu of drinking the crap].
The girls [three] shopped till they dropped...and my feet hurt.....
Tomorrow is Toronto....
Still not king.

Actually, it was named 'rouge' because of the bloody tint of the urine after drinking it [and used to brew it]

Where will you be having your birthday this year.....overseas or back in oz? 
Reply #108 Wednesday, September 9, 2009 10:14 PM
I always found bloody urine tasted better than this crap....

You still can't spell 'beer'? ....

Day 13 ....Toronto....beer 64....which is surprising....considering how far you have to go to find a shop that sells them.
If it was this hard in Oz there'd be an uprising.....ultimately a 4 mile walk...
Day 14 [Friday] ...off to shop again [women!].
Feet hurt.

Silly me.When I heard you were going to drink Canada dry,I somehow thought......
No matter what you're drinking it sounds like you are enjoying the trip.
Reply #113 Friday, September 11, 2009 8:15 PM
And if the missus wasn't with him... he probably would... drink Canada dry.
Reply #114 Friday, September 11, 2009 10:09 PM
Day 14....seems like day 140.....[we pack a lot in].... beer 69 .....St.Ambroise stout....nice stuff....
CN Tower is kinda high.....loved the glass floor.
The Architecture is fun....some seriously narrow houses....
Shopping with three women was [barely] survivable....somehow I had 6 feet to massage....
Mine just hurt...still not King...

Did you go through the Rockies in the daytime?
Reply #118 Friday, September 11, 2009 10:49 PM
Trip was going well until......
[that's our Red Leaf train on the left]....

Silly question....of course there was....
Today [Saturday] we're meeting up with a Canadian couple the girls met on THEIR trip to Turkey and Egypt....[while I looked after the cat]...for a BBQ.
I'm putting on weight....as are the girls' bags ..... may need to cut down on breathing......
