Talking DR1 Get Together in Northern Ontario
Now how about a DR1 get together in August in good ole North Bay, Ontario Canada????

This question was posed in a blog entry the other day.....I'ts been requested that I post a thread so here it is!

We could do it the weekend of the 13th or the 20th, whichever is more convenient for most. Post a comment as to which day would be best for YOU to attend and I'll get started on the planning. We should even post a thread on the DR1 message board so members can "sign up".

I might even be able to arrange a 'chibo' to barbeque 'whole' on a spit.

By then my homemade wine will be ready so it would be a BYOB for anyone who wanted something 'other' than wine (did I mention I have ONE bottle of Brugal direct from Juan Dolio???).



If everyone would like to chip in to pay costs,taxes and duty I could even 'beg' my son in Florida to ship us up some PRESIDENTE......now wouldn't that be GREAT?????

So start posting.........

Red face Thanks Peaches....but I just bought one on Ebay....
10 seconds ago!!!
Cheapest price I could find from Henry's in TO ($82.99US plus $7.US shipping) without paying $79.99US and $24.99 US shipping from California plus duties & taxes at the border along with the standard $26+ brokerage fee.......

So....I guess I'm pleased???

Sorry you won't be here for the get-together. I would have been nice to see you again....oh welllllllll.........maybe in the DR!

not to make you feel bad..I probably could have gotten you one for closer to the $0.00 mark..well plus the cost of shipping down there...

Or I could have driven it down to you and charged you the cost of a few drinks...LOL

Well...you know who to ask next time you need something for your camera

And I should already know this...but you know how my memory is going with my old age When are you back in the DR again?

Default Now that would be a treat Badpiece!
And it ain't that bad a drive......just a few more hours than the TO trip.
You could travel up to 81 then take the Kingston trek on to 17 but I personally prefer the freeway ALL the way even if it's a bit more distance. Seems to drive just as quickly! 'Course it's been about 10 yrs since we went the other way through the Thousand Island so it might be quicker now.

Thanks Peaches......you could try for a couple more of the NB-5H rechargeable batteries! That way I'll have extra on hand so I'll never run out of "power".

Not sure when we'll be back in the DR.......maybe Oct. kinda depends on if we make the trip to Argentina this year. That kinda depends on my ticker.....
I have a sneaky suspicion I'm not doing as well as I think I am....gotta arrange for a 'diagnostic' tuneup! Soooo....time will tell.
