BIKEBOY Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I must admit a few things. 1) I do sorta miss Canada 2) I don't miss their taxes, their banking, (lack of BofA, Wells Fargo), and their high priced 'stuff'...and $5 gas!! 3) I DO miss the friends I made up there! People are cool in Canada. 4) But......I am glad to be home! On Sunday, I drove down a couple hours in front of the Atlas truck from Toronto to Princeton, NJ. That is my new home. It's official now, on my sig. Although ALL of my cars still sport AZ. tags. That will have to change here real soon. I got by as a 'temporary' resident up there, but that won't fly back here in the US. It has been sunny and beautiful here, since we arrived! I think I am gonna like it here. From what I gather, there are alot of TS members in this tri-state area, as well? When summer gets here, I am going to venture out to some shows. I have NEVER done that. I am not a show guy...of course, I go to them, but I usually don't take my car. I know, weird, right? It's just NOT me. I do love to talk cars at the shows, and on here, but just not overly anxious to show mine. Maybe if it was a '67 GT500 or something very collectible, rare, and different.....but, there are just tons of newer cars at these shows, and I haven't really ever felt like it was a place for my '07 car. Oh well, I am glad to be back, and cannot wait to meet some of you guys in person! Merry Christmas to all, and please stay safe....each and every one of you!

glroy Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 sorry forgot you guys did not know of our Canadian heroes a little more on Canadian English eh How to Speak Canadian Hosers, Toques, and Two-Four Most countries have their own slanguage, and Canada is no exception. Here is some of the slang used in this song: toque: pronounced t'yewk; this is a knit cap, sometimes called a toboggan two-four: pronounced toofer; this is a 24-pack of beer hoser: pronounced hozer; this is a loser, harking back to the days when the loser of a hockey game would have to hose down the rink For more Canadian slanguage, check these sites: How to Understand Canadian Slang Canadian Slanguage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Tana flew on a US Air Jet. Sorry Rob, I meant how she came about the time off, right around Xmas to make the trip down? Buisness trip, etc.... Wifee and I hiked up in North Scottsdale this morning!! Too warm here for that holiday feeling...I like the northeast better from that standpoint. I lived here for 47 years and basically forgot how sh!tty it feels to have a 70deg Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
