What time would we be back in Canada? I'm assuming not in time for
the 5 o'clock game start. Anyone else up for watching the game somewhere down there after the picnic? |

Is it even televised down there? I suppose that's an option, except I suspect not everyone from the club would be interested in the game. And that would divide our convoy on the trip back.

Doesn't someone have a method of watching it there?

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

In any event, I'm recording the game so that I can watch it at some point when I get back. The game better not go longer than one period of overtime as I've set the DVD-recorder on EP mode which puts four hours on a disc. More than four hours per disc and the video quality sucks. Yeah, I admit that a PVR is superior when it comes to long broadcasts and not being home to swap in a second disc.

You know, it's possible we're worrying about missing the game for nothing. After checking This thread from last year's Arlington run, I noticed Tristan's first post upon returning. Make note of the time!
The simplest thing for us to do is to just make sure we leave in plenty of time to make it home for the game. The picnic actually folds up relatively early, as what the heck, it starts pretty early!

Problem solved. Let's just make sure we're all heading home no later than 3:30 then.

Yeah, keep in mind I actually did the speed limit the whole way back too. If you left a bit late by accident, being slightly liberal with the throttle would help shave off some time as well.

Tristan's bringing the Steamer.
I don't have a Canucks jersey, but I do have a shirt with the Canucks logo over the heart. Perhaps I'll wear it.

I'm with Patrick on this....(did I actually say that?)
I can say with a lot of certainty, that if you show up near the end of the pack, so that a bunch of us have already been through the same crossing booth, they will let you in no problem. They know you're part of a car club doing something fun and not a loonie. Besides, bring more ID to back up the Passport and all will be well. It's a nice run. Don't miss it. The Dawg

Honestly when it comes to this hole sports hero thing, I have more respect for Brian and our Fiero crew on the track than Luango or the Canucks. Sorry guys, I grew up with Yankee's. I used to root for the Portland Trailblazers and even that has faded.
Now on to the important stuff.
This is the list that I put together for Lisa and I, hopefully it jogs the brain of a few people that might not be thinking of all the things they should have. This is just a list of stuff from Canada. 4 chairs. (2 for us, 1 for Arianna and 1 extra) I don’t want to haul all the amounts we have. Both Digital Cameras. Charged and with Blank SD cards in them for lots of Photos and Videos. Blanket to lay on. Sun Tan/block Lotion At least one umbrella for Sun Shade. The Folding Canopy. Spare Tools and parts like Ignition Module, Pickup Coil and Ignition Coil. Radar detector Passports GPS units programed with the Airport. Ice Cooler The FRS Radios are going to need Batteries. If anyone has an extra folding canopy that will fit in there Fiero we can always use an extra down there. Folding Chairs we always try to bring at least one extra. Once we all get to the food Pavilion, we will take a final head count and go buy the food. Food the club is buying Burgers Hot Dogs Hot Dog Buns Hamburger Buns Lettuce Tomatoes’ Pop in cans Several bags of Ice Knives and Forks Spoons Potato Chips Assorted Picnic items Napkins I am sure there is other stuff, but we will see how it goes. Remember if you are only paying dues as a single person and you are bring a guest, please toss Lisa roughly $5 for a child and $10 for an adult.

What can we say... we're Canadian through and through. Hockey's in our blood. It's okay Dave, we like you anyway.

Does that mean you watch lacrosse as well? After all, it's a national sport.

I have done, and I think it's a great game, but I don't enjoy it as much as hockey for two reasons. It's not nearly as fast as hockey, and I've never played it.
