As we welcome spring to the valley it’s hard to believe the winter we have had . According to the statistics it has been the warmest on record. I’m sure global warming or as some call it climate change will have its downside, but I love the mild winter we just had. My snow blower was used only twice and I never plugged the block heater in on my truck once. It won’t be long until the old vehicles come out of storage. In fact I’ve seen a few on the road already. As we look ahead to our touring season lets hope this beautiful weather is just a taste of things to come.
So much has happened this past month. The Olympic games are over and our Canadian athletes did very well. Setting a new record for most gold medals won by a country at the winter games is something we can be very proud of, as even though Canada is a large country in size our population is quite small. To beat countries with many times our population is quite an achievement. How about the men’s final game with “Sid the Kid” scoring the winning goal in overtime? That has to go down in history as one of the most exciting games of all time.
Our club has grown a little with some new members joining in the last few months. Lets hope we continue to attract new people to our group as people are what make this club what it is.
On a personal note, aside from my day job fixing other people’s cars I have found some spare time to get a little work done on the old mustang. In fact if all goes well it just may see the road this summer. I know my wife’s honey-do list is getting quite long so I may have to take a break to do a little around the house. A number of our members are retired and I’m looking forward to those days myself. I know there will be lots of things to keep me busy and just maybe I’ll have the time to get most of them done.
Our next meeting is at the Champlain Trail Museum so if you can make it please do and hopefully we can make some plans for the upcoming season.
