Well, shall we try this again! Big Battle weekend. Big Mike, Bruce and Melissa, and Jody and Lauren I think are going to be camping for the weekend and will be making lunches! They will let you know about the price but shouldn't be more than $10 bucks. So the plan is set up on Friday starting at 4 with hopefully some twilight battles followed by full Saturday and Sunday 9 to 4 battledays! This will be the start of the TOTY competition so don't fall behind early get out and make sure Stince does not 3-peat!!!
all are welcome for open battles of course. Please mark the poll if you are coming. We will consider these numbers for lunches as well...
Any questions let me know!
TXS Dean
Hopefully we won't see this!

Saturday looks to be the problem weatherwise. Friday and Sunday look fine. The whole thing won't be cancelled if this becomes reality will it? I just need to know as regards my hotel booking. I have until Thursday to cancel if so

Nope, no canceling this time unless it really gets stupid.

I'm not worried. Predicting a risk of a t-storm during summer in Southern Ontario. Talk about the forecasters hedging their bets . They could say that about every day from here until mid September. The rainfall amounts predicted are negligible on all the days. Also the last place I want to be is on the 401 heading into Toronto Monday afternoon with all the express lane closures from James Snow Parkway right through the city. Last Saturday was brutal enough without everybody driving home from the long weekend

I got a big a$$ 3S lipo for my BTR-80A this time, so hopefully it will run faster than in Oshawa.
That thing is all over the news right now with the Wagner group and Russian army running them around left right and center.
