Al is Mr. Happy Go Lucky guy. 
I'm a glass is half empty guy too Al, but i don't go around tempting fate, if you know what I mean.
Besides, that weather report is for Whitby. What you should be doing is watching Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Stoney Creek and Niagara Falls.

If we leave the Tims at Winston Churchill and QEW at 10AM, it shouldn't take us more than 40-45 min to get there. Can you be there for 11? If not, we can wait till 11:30. It's only a test run tomorrow to check the route out and my estimated timing.

From here on, if we have a large group, we may get spread out and separated a bit. I’d ask that everyone please keep an eye on the car behind you and if you see anyone getting stuck or delayed, to signal the person in front so we can all slow down a bit for them to catch up. I don’t like leaving anyone behind and do my best to keep us all together but sometimes, that’s not possible as it impedes the other traffic and they can get testy. If we do get separated by a large margin, call my cell at 416 450 7214 and I will slow the group down where I can and stop if I have to, to let everyone catch up. Everyone should have my cell and it’s a good idea to have a buddy system going to call anyone else in the group, just in case. I have hands free in the car so I’m safe to answer calls. Plus for those that have radios set to Ch 5.0, we can use them as well.

Randy, Mike, Ryan, Rebecca and I met up with Les and Dan at the arena on Fruitland.
Ryan, those yellow lines are not to be used as centre guides on your backup camera.
We were joined by Rick and Charlene at Betty's Restaurant in their '63 Grand Sport Coupe for lunch and the cruise through Niagara. Unfortunately, Dan had to turn back home at this point.
Lunch at Betty's was delicious.
Thanks to everyone for joining me on the test run.
And while it looked all doom and gloom, we didn't have any rain for the entire cruise.
The cruise route has been updated a bit to avoid some road works, but we're good to go for Saturday. PLEASE SEE THE ORIGINAL POST (CLICK HERE) for meet up locations and times.
