Dave,

I'm feeling a bit droopy today, so I am going to go for "Dysprosium" if I
have it spelled correctly.

Steve

Week 25 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp
- The guys arrived safely, and I sent them to the Erie County Fair.  They
loved the antique tractor/ live steam exhibit, and are now figuring out
what class their John Deere's can run in the Truck and Tractor pull.
They are also having a ball in the beer garden.  I'm not sure I will get
anything constructive out of them this week but they sure are having
fun!

Week 26 Paul Reid, PWB Interconnect Solutions Inc
- Well it's time for Clumpy and Kloumpios to join me for some Canadian
wilderness camping in Algonquin Park, Ontario. What we'll do is put the
canoe on the van, load up our camping gear, and then we'll head the
North East area of Algonquin Park. We'll put in on the Barron River and
canoe up to the river to a portage point where Clumpy and Kloumpios will
be asked to portage the canoe and gear for about half a kilometer, past
some falls, until we put back into the river. What we'll do then is
canoe about a mile up stream and setup camp on a beautiful point of land
that over looks the Barron Cliffs and has a pine tree every much like
The Jack Pine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jackpine.jpeg that was
painted by Tom Thomson in 1916. I'll start fishing; they will do the
cooking and cleaning.  We will relax for a few days then we'll head back
to Ottawa (given the mosquitoes don't carry us away). Dave - Maybe we can 
meet you on the Ottawa River some time next week.

Week 27 Greg Munie, IPC
- Since it's getting close to time for the Abbey's grape harvest/wine 
making I'll get the monks to put them up at the Abbey guest house. From 
there it's just a short walk to the vineyard. Of course the food at the 
Abbey may be a little, ah, Spartan, for their tastes. But I can give them 
enough pruning, weeding and cleanup to do to keep them busy all week. 
(Maybe I can even get them to do the water run for the vegetable garden! 
They'd probably like driving the old tractor.) And for a special perk they 

can have the honor of the company of Benny, the Abbey Golden Retriever!

Week 28 Steve Gregory

Week 29 ????

Everyone have a safe week!
