IIDD, Try: Thursday, September 6th

We should tackle reality in a slightly jokey way, otherwise we miss its point. -Lawrence Durrell, novelist, poet, and playwright (1912-1990)

Went to the Ben Nevis Destillery yesterday and gonna visit the one in Oban tomorrow. Thought of you while tasting it but still can't stand the taste of Single Malt Scotch! Cheers 
from Scotland!

 I'm more than envious as I've not been to either! On the other hand, I'm more than glad that you can't stand the taste of Single Malt as I won't have to worry about my cabinet when next you visit! Fond Fondestos to my Travelin' Host Daughter!

Thanks for all the effort you put into dinner Wednesday. We enjoyed the company and food.  Will call if it looks like we might be on the island.  Polly

Hello Pat & Corinne,

Many thanks for a wonderful get together last night for Kevin & Bev! Cheers, Richard & Julie

Hi there

Thank you for the gorgeous gold earrings!  They’re amazing and my co-worker wanted to steal them immediately when I opened them!

Loved the small frame with my picture in it…I was so darn cute as a baby!! Ha ha ha

Love to all at home! Ayn

 Lads,

Great ride today, thanks. I expect the km count for you two to be no less than 100.33 on the day.

I will have to pass on the Velocity trade fair tomorrow if you intend to go. It might work for me on Friday. W

George,

    I baled out at 73-75K depending on whose odometer, for reasons of fatique, hunger. Pat, of course, continued to complete the 100+.

    Friday for the bike show is fine with both Pat and I. We're thinking of a short ride around the Park starting at HBH 9am and on to Bike display. Ray

Hi Horseshoeless Joe Riders!

Fab ride indeed! Just for the record book, no stinkin' 100.33K BUT 102.3K over 5:03:31, (Please note "3's"!), for an AVG of 20.2kph, courtesy of dipsy-doodling at UBC, after wholesale abandonnement by les domestiques!

I'm up for 9:00am take-off at the HBH domani so let me know if this is agreed, settled upon. Cheers, Il Conduttore!

The next gathering was scheduled for next Sunday, the evening of the 9th of September. The Islay Inn and the Inn keeper appear to be double-booked that evening.  It has been suggested that we meet in the afternoon next Sunday OR on the evening before, the 8^th of September. Please let me know if either of these times are preferable or even workable for you.

The book is Ithaca, by David Davidar (George). The title to follow the Davidar is to be chosen by Dave if he is willing.  

With probability I can come to 8th. Cheers Moe

Is that the sun on your face of the glow of Single Malt? 

P,

Looks like Sunday afternoon is the time at least for the four of us that are gracious enough to respond.

Shall we say 3PM, 2PM? You tell me. What time do we need to vacate the Inn? W

Hi Giggster!

Why don't we start at 2:00pm so that we have time for another Horseshoe Bay run beforehand! Cheers, Il Conduttore!

Lads,

9AM at the HBT. See you there.

The exhibition is Velospoke: (not Velocity as I had recalled)

Vancouver Convention Centre East 999 Canada Place, SEPTEMBER 6th and 7th, 2012
Hours of Operation Thursday, September 6th – 11am – 8pm Friday, September 7th – 11am – 8pm G

I'll be there on my old yellow bike. Ray

Thus Velosprachen: HBT 9AM!

I'll be on my old white bike in my old biking shorts, wearing an old T-shirt fit for cleaning bicycle chains if dabbed in porch climber, mumbling non sequiturs in Middle to Old Velosprachtliflugelkeitheim, in rhyming quatrains. Ye Olde Conduttore!

Saluton Fellow Velosprachers!

Mi estos en mia malnova blanka biciklo en mia malnova biciklo mallongaj, portante malnova ĉemizo adapti por purigi biciklo ĉenoj se dabbed en portiko escalador, murmurante ne sequiturs en meza al Old Velosprachtliflugelkeitheim, en rimo quatrains. Ye Olde Conduttore!

The next gathering will be this Sunday, the 9th of September, starting at 2PM.  

 

P,

Thought that you or Corinne may be interested. W

 This might be something for Pat and Corrine.

The SFU and Vancouver Public libraries received funding from the Vancouver Foundation for a six-day community summit, which is where they’re holding the “Big Ideas for Libraries in Communities” event. It’s on the VPL Facebook page but I’m not a facebooker.

Hi Kids!

Thanks very much for thinking of us. Unfortunately, we'll be in leading the lives of the Rich & Famous in Parksville on September 19th! Cheers, Donald Trump!

The next gathering will be this Sunday, the 9th of September, starting at 2PM.

The book is Ithaca, by David Davidar (George). The title to follow the Davidar is to be chosen by Dave if he is willing. 

I am back in Vancouver and I will be there at 2PM. Cheers, Moe
