More Planespotting

Another weekend.. Sunday this time and Jordan suggested we go plane spotting once again. I am on vacation and everything can be pushed aside for now so I jumped on it.. well with a small job to do with Sheila first.. Sergio took some convincing but eventually he came around and joined us :).

First off Sheila & I got her two sectional sofa from the basement and lugged them upstairs. She's found a school in our neighbourhood that takes furniture for the poor and for AA people so we thought we'd bring it over to them. We lugged it into her SUV sweating and gasping for water in the heat... drove over only to find it was closed. We then decided to leave it outside on her driveway and lug it over tomorrow... sure enough under two hours someone came along and took both of them...LOL..

Anyways like last weekend I met Jordan & Sergio at the MacDonald's on Cote Vertu and headed out to runway 24R and then later on along Chemin St-Francois where we met up with Ian, the moderator of the YULAviation board. It deteriorated to such an extent one of the members is threatening a lawsuit for defamation by another member. That member was kicked off and all the threads locked down. However.. since the guy threatening the lawsuit never reveraled his full name I don't see how he can do that... and hey, it's an aviation discussion board people should know when to stop arguing if they see it's going no where.

Anyways, here's the pics from today's outing...

This old dog stopped by and rested near us.. another cutie but had a bad leg and couldn't walk very well. Poor thing. He seemed very gentle.


Afterwards we headed out to Baton Rouge for supper. I had ribs which were delich... and then a wild ride home on the Met driving into what looked like a looming thunderstorm... I could hear thunder and Jordan told me later he saw some wicked lightening... hope things don't flood again..

Anyways.. until tomorrow... when I can get up at 10am or....whenever :)
