Topic: In Search of New Members from Canada and Alaska

[Gentleman Jack]

The Whale guy?  Is he that crazy fella on the black boat that chases the Japanese fisherman who are just trying to feed their families?  He's crazy.

Oh, it's not him?  Oh, sorry.  Well, he's never around any more anyway, so who cares.

Welcome to the forum newbies!  AK is a beautiful place for a coupe (three weeks a year...)

Our corp office is up there.  Lovely place.

Welcome 08carbonflash!  My brother lives in West Bank.  We usually get out there once during the summer, maybe we'll see you on the roads this summer.

Welcome ljayinanc as well.  Glad to see you finally decided to make your first post after 5 months of lurking!

Pay no attention to SA and BG, they are just jealous they live below the 49th and are clearly a product of cousins who married!

Yeah my mom and dad both have cousins but they aren't related to each other.  BG told me he is illegitimate, I've just been telling people that he is ill.  We shouldn't be picking on the retireded, thats why we say he is "special."

I joined the forum back on May 7.  Located in the Okanagan Valley in BC.... Anyone else on here located nearby?

Yup - I'm here in Vernon. Look for a Green Solstice exceeding the speed limit !

Small world my niece is a doctor in Vernon

Unbelievable how things come about sometimes.  Who would have thought???  Who was the guy that said way back that it is a small, small world.  Indeed it is sometimes!  Funny how some things work out!

I believe the thread is up to date.  I just checked the first post that I started way back and it appears to be good to go... If there are any who have not been updated, please speak up and I will update the thread.  Good to know who is living nearby!  Hec, you might have a neighbor who is a member of Kappa Performance that you were unaware of.  Canada and Alaska are very large.  I have spent time in both places.  We are so happy to have members here from Canada and also the great state of Alaska.

Thanks for keeping this up to date for us KC!

And to show you how small the world really is, I was in Vernon just last week!  I don't live there or have a niece there, but I do have a brother in West Kelowna I was visiting and we drove through Vernon.....I didn't see the King or Critters niece though.  Maybe next time!

And another example, we were in Kansas last September!

KWhale, why didn't you look us up here in Olathe, Kansas?  Glad you made it to the great state of Kansas!  Sure hope you had a good time while in the state.

KC - We did have a good time.  It was in the high 80's that day as we drove through but we were just cruizin so we had no timelines or plans....except to get home before we had to start work again!  Here's a look at the mileage from my MPG tracker, not sure if this will be clear enough to read though:

[GXPinKC]

KWhale, what a trip indeed!  You covered a lot of miles and must have taken some nice photo's.  I am sure you had a blast.
