winter storage for pickup trucks
(Preview)

So this summer I took the time to design a better way. (I can make it better - some great man said that). So attached are photos of what I think is an easy fix...

Lakeside Car Show
(Preview)
This Saturday is the Lakeside car show at the Cobourg beach. A great show that does not advertise rods but they will not turn them away. They average 250 cars and that almost maxes the size area the town lets them use. I enjoy watching some of the volleyball matches (for the competitive side of it).
