YAK and KIMMEY's return from Niagara Falls GTG!!

Yakmar said:
As for getting home, I had a MAJOR Tire Malfunction in Baie Comeau, Quebec on the way home. THANKFULLY it happened IN Baie Comeau and NOT on the dirt trail home. A local IRVING garage had to use a LARGE PATCH on the INSIDE of the tire, since several plugs did not stop the leak.
As many of you know, on the way TO NIAGARA, a BOULDER the size of the moon hit my windshield and nearly decapitated Yakky !! :C: :C: Wellllll, thats a little exaggeration but I do have to get my windshield replaced.
AS WELL, I need a little bit of paint retouching on my Av due to flying rocks on the dirt trail that we are forced to call a ROAD out of here!! :E:

at least you are getting a discount on your GM work ;) (and there is no salt your way in the winter to make matters worse.\
The other thing I should say is that at least I had a rental for the long trip, nothing like that would have botheres me. >:D

it is sad to see/hear that you had all these things happen to your AV. I feel for you, brother.

I finally got curious and found Labrador City on mapquest. Man Yak, you are in the boonies!!! No wonder you're getting all that road rash on your AV. I do think it would be neat to drive up your way some time and do some Canadian exploring. Maybe in about 7 years or so when my AV already has gotten a couple 100,000 miles or so of its own road rash, and my son is old enough to drive and make the trip with me.
I got curious too - it really is out in the boonies. I didn't even know that area existed!!

Not only is it out in the boonies, but Labrador City looks about as big as the development where I live. How long of a walk is it from one side of LC to the other?

I also think I found where Yak works... Hey, Yak - are the initials G.P.?

I thought so! It's the only pharmacy in town, eh?

So, how long of a walk is it from one side of L.C. to the other?

Snow, in June?? Weird! No wonder your legs look like that! ;D

Yakmar... You know I love you but I have to tell you the truth... Your legs are white. The sun doesn't come out up there. It's Ohh Kaaay. Admiting the problem is the first step. The second step is to go out and visit a tanning salon. It's okay guys go in there. Kimmy can go with you you can to it as a "Together" thing. The underglow is not there. Neither is the sun. but this can be resolved. Good Bless you brother. :cool: BTW it's 87 degrees out, and it is 2:00 AM. Isn't life swell
 
Yak and Kimmey

Glad to hear you guys made it home safe! Well, except for the tire blow out! Just remember, if you had left your duds on, that wouldn't have happened, but then you would have had rear brakes and rim damage :E: .....
So you're still not finished with winter yet!!!!

Get some sun before August, otherwise you'll burn real good at the Huntsville GTG...

Enjoy the ambers!!!

I also found listing for Manstan Drugs in LC, but maybe that not a pharmacy, eh? >:D

Actually, there should be quite a bit of sun up there. Not far enough north for 24 hours of daylight in the summer, but the sun has to be up for the better part of a day at this point. Just got to get Yak to spend a little more time outdoors in his boxers. >:D

Yak,
