That was November 22nd

Our Xmas Breakfast will probably be December the 13th. (To be confirmedly by Bob.)

Members:

Brett Bain.

Sean Baylis.

Paul Boucher.  

Ian Campbell.  

Matt Dart. Matt mentions that as many as half of the homes on his street now have permanent Xmas lights and that they’re programmable for other purposes (i.e. Halloween). Check out https://gemstonelights.com

Don Davis . He’s very pleased with how supportive AHS is being for his twin granddaughters. They’re still in the ICU and the quality of nursing is amazing. May Hazel and Julianne get big enough to go home, soon.

Todd Dean.

George Doherty. Palm Springs is a popular Canadian place in November. • He mentioned Dogs for Daughters … (I was distracted so missed the details. Sorry.)

Don Doolan.

Tony Fisher . His retail operations are actually moving along ok.  

Gord Forsyth. Get a leg up on 2019: call Gord and get a ticket for lunch with Todd Hirsch in early January (at Gord’s Rotary club).  

Mel Gibson.

Henry Heuver.  

David Hicks.  

Dan Kennelly. Not that he thinks it’s nothing … but the oil spill off the East coast was rated at 1578 Barrels versus the 4.9 million Barrel Deep Horizon spill in the Gulf. The media uproar, however, would seem to be of a similar scale.

Matt Litke.  

Andy Lockhart. And you thought politics was a road of twists and turns? Hah. Try making an insurance claim for a stolen car. In the USA. It’s a story best told by Andy (so you should have been here). • Andy has bought out his partner in his AZ place and is looking for a replacement. It’s a good way to share costs.

J.D. MacDonald. He’s looking to conduct a cold-calling campaign and trying to identify the more common home-owner plumbing issues – but in their terms, not his.

Michael McLennan.  

Ross Mikkelsen. Doesn’t seem enamoured of JT, either. • Mentions that Black Friday is now a bigger retail event than Boxing Day Sales here in Canada.

Mike Mikkelson.

Brad Pachal. Just when he gets into wood carving, 3D printing pokes its nose in. There’s a story here somewhere. Just need to whittle it out.

Gerry Parcells. He called JT a wimp. Actually, I think he swore and called JT a goddam gutless wimp. The silly commissions in BC are making a mockery of our country and JT doesn’t have the courage to deal with it. Or anything else.

Dwayne Vinck. He’s exploring the production of hydrogen from existing oil & gas reserves. If I understood correctly, he’s working on acquiring a license to do so.  

Bob Wiggins . Bob mentions a telus phone feature that adds an intercept on calls which makes it difficult for hobo-calls to ring through. (Robo-calls, I know. But they’re kind of like hobos if you think about it.) I want to learn more about this intercept feature.
