Colin;
Holy woodchip smokes; it appears that you have bypassed the "Bed and Breakfast" craze into your own little "Carving,

Hour and a Sack in the Back" thing. It appears you let Bob bypass all of the fantastic beer and whisky you guys make up there, and go right for the scotch. Tssk! No wonder you have Tim Hortons strong coffee, and a big breakfast of eggs and Canadian bacon. It sounds like it was one heck of a good time. Are you taking reservations?
BTW, both my wife and my families originally landed in Canada. I have been trying to go back and have a big look around, but she resists. Her family must owe somebody money still!
At any rate, it sounds like it was a great trip/meeting, and I am truely impressed by Bobs chainsaw carving; well done! I can hardly believe it was his first try.
