Just got back from spending the day with Jim, Karen and their friends up in Canada. We had a blast considering it rained most of the time and the rest we were getting wet from the spray from the falls. Had fun wandering around the falls on both sides and then a great dinner at Marguritaville.
Hopefully Karen will post some of the pics she took.

frankoc · Guru

I've never been to the Canadian side of the falls, I've heard it is nice. I was shocked when visiting the US side, what a dump.

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Frank, yeah. The US side is pretty messed up. But they have made it look pretty decent with improvements over the last 3 years.

The Canadian side is really nice. But you do get wet! Lots of walking and some things to do on Clifton hill.

Only down side, was Karen saying no to putting the bat signal on the falls, LOL!

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Another fun day with Jim and Karen!!! We went on a river cruise of the lower harbor. The waves were kind of rough, so they didn't take us out into Lake Erie. Then had dinner and now were all beat!

Really don't want to go to work tomorrow, but I have no choice. I have appointments and one guy is out the rest of the week.

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Went to a cruise yesterday and met up with Matt, Dave Sr. and Jr. had a great time with those guys and told them they need to pop on here more than once a year, LOL!

Today, spent a couple hours lifting Matt's truck. 3" in the front and 2" in the rear. Looks pretty good!

we have a great time on vacation. thank you Dave and Diana for the hospitality and for arranging the events.
the Canada side is way nicer then the US side.
but like Dave said the US side is getting a make over.

the boat ride was very nice. it does stink the water was so rough that we have to stay behind the break wall because of the rough water. it was still an enjoyable 2 hour boat cruise.

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Jim, glad you guys had fun. My feet still hurt from all the walking. Sorry about that, LOL!

intimadatorsquizz · Moderator

lol np Dave. it was a lot of walking, but still a great time.

Trailer loaded weighed in at 7400 lbs.

NYMontess · Administrator

WOW, thats a big bitch!!

Crusher · Mr Friendly Veteran Member

Tongue weight is 840. Trailer title says it weighs 2750 lbs. Then car and cargo. Guess I should start using the weight distribution hitch. I haven't been. Just been using a regular old hitch. I hate those WD hitches. They are a pain in the ass.....

I'm not a fan of them either, but I must say they work great, I will never trailer without one!

You will be happy when using it.

I seem to remember the NJ had a law about using them over a certain weight, but I could be wrong on that, Kev, you might have more info. on this.
I do know that on a toll booth in NJ 3 yrs ago they made me stop to check out the set up, and they didn't even know if I had one or not till they saw it.
words from cops mouth "I want to check the WD setup while driving thru the booth, drive slow"

Use to use one when I towed the open trailer with my explorer. Not sure about that law...

had a busy but fun weekend.
went to Long Island to hang with peeps from NYMCC. we all went to a comedy club and dinner. we had a great time.
drove home sunday aftersoon to go hang out with some other friends at a local camp ground near my house.

then yesterday i spent a few hours doing an electrical job on my friends new 14x18 shed. i ran 150' of wiring and added 10 outlets and 2 lights and a switch for now.
have more wiring to do later.
he only wanted a few outlets, but i told him i had to drill the holes for the wires anyway. so i added more along the way. we does a lot of harley work and will be using the shed for that. so that is why all the outlets.

then i went home and closed the pool.
then cooked s crap load of food for us. made lots of extras for left overs and for franky to have after school snacks.

then i came back to work, but it is only a 3 day week for me.

twomanymontes · Moderator - Monte Hunter Lead Investigator

Had a long weekend here too. Saturday spent the day at the Olcott car show, Greta to see Frank again. Sunday, we went to the Viet Nam Vets car show, and then watched the NASCAR race. Yesterday, spent the whole day watching the end of the Simpsons Marathon. Didn't accomplish much, but I did get to relax.

frankoc · Guru

NYMontess · Administrator
