Wouldn't 45 miles north of Niagara put you in the middle of Lake Ontario?

Note to self...add extra air to the tires...lol.

Sounds like a possibility, no plans for that weekend (that I know of, anyway, but wife will clue me in)...so, I'm penciling it in and will get back with you.

Sounds like a good time, and an easy drive from the thumb.

Brian.

Must have been difficult, holding back on the U-Boat Commander thing.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Adam, and seeing his interesting workspace. Those from the States will want to have a strategy for cellphone use, and avoiding the "camera charge" from using the 407 Express.

I may have to come, if only to pursue the proposed documentary and threaten everyone's car with a drone strike.

Having driven up there for Travel hockey just leave phone off, use a VOIP service (we use Viber) to contact home from anywhere you get a WIFI signal. Put Radar detector in Back or under seat, and that 407ETR - WTH - be careful! (there is no "gate", it just takes a photo of your plate - you don't even know you are on it! - and bills you back in the US, about $1 a km! - we had 2 cars there as all three kids were in different tournaments at the same time, so got two bills over $250.00! ) Don't use your phone for GPS as you will chew through your MB very quickly. I'm hoping to be there but there may be one kid with hockey that weekend so not 100%...

Adam - Got double extra fat shirt for me? I may bring a kid or two as well - how old are yours again?

7 and 11.

For the cell, not sure if you can get a similar deal to what I have with Telus. But I added a US roaming package that only activates when I travel to the states and the charge is a flat fee of $7 per day and uses minutes/Mb from my Candian plan. I'm in the states allot, picking up parts.

Note to self...if I get a cell phone...either turn it off or buy roaming service...or not bother with the former at all and just not get one...problem solved.

That's me...problem solver all the way.

Guy, just get a map! You still know how to use a map, right? To avoid the 407, take the Trafalgar Rd. exit just before the 407 and go south.

Adam, I will check my son's go karting schedule and will let you know if I/we can make it. He is 8 and this is his 1st year for karting.
