Muskoka Wood Show August 19 to 21 Bracebridge Ont.

If you do go -- there are some igloos and tents still available.

On this page you can see a picture of the hydro-electric generating=20
station adjacent to the local business district. During the Great August =

Blackout, it had the only electric bulb (powered by 120VAC) operating=20
for many miles around.

http://www.bracebridgechamber.com/

We arrived early Friday looking for a quiet dinner and a relaxing=20
evening in the hot tub.... However things did not work out that way.

We managed to get an ice cream cone at one of the local emporiums before =

the inevitable melt-down. ..And for supper we cooked on the Coleman=20
stove -- which I had insisted we bring so we could have a picnic on the=20
trip. We were one of the few hotel guests that had bacon and eggs the=20
next morning -- we set up at the river park and cooked our own breakfast.=


The wood show did go on -- on generator power -- till they got the local =

power restored the next morning.


Now -- if all of you guys will ease back on your power consumption this=20
weekend -- perhaps I can enjoy the show and some local sight seeing=20
without the blackout.

See you there.

Igloos? You southern folks do have a sense of humor, don't you?

Since I dropped my cash at Finnfest last weekend, I'll have miss this one.

Thanks for the invite, though.

Ahhh.... Another doubter. I will have you know that we Kanuckistanis=20

In Bracebridge of course...

There is a portal to the North Pole in Bracebridge -- however, only the=20

Children are exempt from any testing of course...

"How can the far north and the south exist simultaneously" you ask? Well =

another example of Canada being in the forefront of transportation=20
technology -- just like the Avro Arrow...

Be Cool!

Hope it is a larger show than the one I visited in Bracebridge a few years
ago, I think I went through it in less than 10 minutes.

It takes at _least_ 30 minutes if you look at everything. :-)

It is still a small show. That's why we either go to buy -- or group=20
another activity in there. A couple of year ago our lustful thoughts of=20
buying things caused the blackout -- I'm sure.

The dealers are ready to sell at small shows -- 75% of my large=20
purchases have been at the Muskoka show...

Bandsaw, planer, carving tools, drum sander etc


Sudbury (Woodshow North) is small too -- but we have bought stuff there =

as well -- visit the big nickel and all.

We don't take _anything_ seriously.

Only about sixty-five miles to Christmas ... Michigan, that is.
