Winnipeg Coffee in Dec?


Hi guys.

We usually try a coffee sometime in the weeks preceding Chirstmas. Other than Ian who is an obvious "yes", anyone else up for coffee maybe next week or the week after?

Ignore JohnneeD if he replies that he would like to come....smile

Aloha!  I will go for coffee but I am away from Nov 30 to Dec 9. Anytime before or after that would work for me!

I can usually make Tuesdays work, only night the kids don't have something on.
Others are a crap shoot depending on my wife's work schedule.....

As the saying goes, "It'll be a cold day in Winnipeg before we let you come for coffee with us."

I will bring it. If I remember it was of a four speed standard. But you got more use for it than I do.

I was in Summerland for a few days last week, and got a phone call from a sign shop in Edmonton telling me that their regular installer had a family emergency and couldn't work for a few weeks. He was supposed to be leaving on a road trip through western Canada that morning to put up new 3 dimensional signage inside the appliance department of a chain of stores. It needed to be completed by the end of the month. This included 3 stores in Winnipeg. I spent that day trying to work out the logistics and an itinerary. 41 stores all together. I figured I'd finally get to Winnipeg and have a coffee with Carl. They shipped enough for 5 stores, overnight to Penticton, and gave me an advance. The Penticton store was not ready. I got started on the Vernon store Thusday night, but couldn't complete it. Drove to Kamloops, completed that, and drove to Prince George, and completed that Friday night. Back to Vernon Saturday, finished that. Williams lake store wasn't shipped. Sunday drove back to Victoria, put a new battery in the van. Was supposed to start on the Island stores Monday. The shipping company let us down, and it arrived midday Tuesday. I got 1 store out of 5 done. Off to Vancouver Wednesday. Missed the ferry by 1 minute. Again the shipping company let us down, and got a late start. half of the Vancouver stores weren't ready. We stayed in Canmore last night and will start on the Calgary stores this morning. Lethbridge and Medicine Hat will be Monday, and then on to Moose Jaw, 2 stores in Regina, Yorktown, Prince Albert and then Saskatoon. They took Winnipeg and the Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie stores off the list, and I'll end up doing 31 stores. When I come back I'll have to run around and finish the other ones that weren't ready. I had to get extra insurance both on myself and the van to work out of province. Sadly, I won't have time for any side trips or stops anywhere. The pay is good however, and I'm seeing some new places. Had to stop and buy one of those heat and massage seat covers from Canadian Tire. This van has no cruise control, and my right leg gets pretty cramped up.

Seeing the Edmonton coffee meet thread reminded me to bump this one up.

And I know I'm am hour away for most of you guys but sometime I'd be more than willing to have the coffee in our garage sometime in the winter. Even next Tuesday if you want, although that might be a bit short notice for some of you to travel.

Anyway, Winnipeg coffee next Tuesday at the usual Robin's, 7:00 PM?

Unless you want to meet in Morris.

I can use the spark plugs Laurie. It might be a couple of years before the big block finds it's way under my hood and the 283 was going to get new plugs this winter.
