Default Why So Quiet up here?

Bonjour to all my Canadian friends! Why has it been so quiet on this board? While you await your vaccines, we need some good chatter going on here, some ball bustin', some discourse, ( i,e., 'Merican bagels vs. those wood fired, overly dry, ( dare I say stale ...ish Via Viteur (?????) bagels, real Pastrami vs Smoked meat, just to kick things off....lol)......heck even political "conversation" (wait just a gosh darn second)...........I am hoping that the border will be open in July? Fingers crossed, by September, it might be just like the "old times" up at Tremblant!

Miss you guys, lots to catch up on......once the border is open, the "reinforcements" will be coming......trucks, trailers, cars, cigars....and hopefully, some more Tech inspection fun....its been a while, need to be creative .......... shiny side up...... please say hi to all. Best wishes to Bob his whole family and the gang from RSR!

Scott San, been missing you - heck all of my dear 'Murican buds! I've chatted with Erik a bit here and there, but no substitute for time in person together.

Hang in there bro, we'll get it together soon enough. Dwane misses the gang too - his trailer is stuck in VT, LOL, so no track yet either for him.

If all goes well, later this summer.

Cheers

Matt (and Nat)

Okay, "amigos" it sounds like there may be "cracks" in the border............fully vaccinated 'Mericans" can cross for non-essential, tourist purposes, starting in Mid August????? Is that correct? It that official? If so, we need to make sure we can get hotel reservations cuz around here, my fellow Patriots are in vacation super mode.......just got back from New Hampshire (Tamworth) and the area was packed! Hotel parking lots were full, restaurants were swamped, traffic was a mess.......

I know that Montreal, on a good day, is a traffic mess, can't imagine what it might be like with pent up demand and everyone heading out/up to play in the Laurentians....Plus, you have two seasons, Winter and construction, so not sure which highways are now torn down, which bridges are one lane restricted.............

Nonetheless, thinking September is looking more and more promising! That would be Awesome!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed!

So, the border is now open for us 'Mericans to come and visit! Let's make some noise! If the Delta variant doesn't shut the border down, looking forward to seeing everyone in September, which is not that far away!
