THE TRUE STORY

 

Seems in response of Bigguys story about the Toronto Trip I must fill you in on some details that seemed to have failed him . So heres mine which is the complete unbiased version . LOL .

   

   On Saturday morning at 7am I got up and went online to find the Bigguy already there . I wanted to clear my e-mail and then leave on trip . While online I chatted with Bigguy and lo and behold he had a shopping list for me . Well let me tell ya that was a long shopping list . Seems these items could only be bought in my part of Ontario . LOL

     After stopping in Huntsville on my way down to the big city and getting Bigguys shopping list filled  I put the pedal to the metal .

     Arriving at the Holiday Inn in Toronto I lugged and slugged all my rigging and Bigguys list of items up to the front desk . There I was greeted by a friendly young lady who got a strange look on her face when she saw that I was also carrying the local Quikway with me . She informed me that they didn't rent out commercial space , only rooms .

   Well I said to her that I was here to see my bud the Bigguy and just brought some supplies for him . She said " supplies  , that looks like a store " .  I then informed her that we were just good ol countryboys and all would be used cause we learned at an early age not to waste .

 

    So to the elevator I go slugging and lugging . I managed to push and shove all into one elevator and squeeze myself in to push the button to the 14th floor . On the way up I could feel the machinery straining under this load . It never did make the 14th floor and after many attempts and worrying about the cables giving out I  thought I better use the service elevator that would handle this load . So into the the service elevator I went . This one went right to the 14th floor with the Quikway store and all .

 

   Out of the service elevator I go , slugging and lugging . By this time some huffing and puffing too I might add . To room 1432 . I pounded and pounded on that door thinking the whole time I was gonna have to haul all this stuff back down again and go on a scouting mission for the Bigguy .

   After a bit I hear movement and the door opens . There he is our friend the Bigguy . After a quick handshake and falling into his arms from all the strain of hauling this rigging up to the room we got down to a drink .

 

   Well let me tell ya the Bigguy pours an eye opener of a drink . Now being regenerated we got down to trying to solve all our provinces and country's problems . Over the next couple of hours we came up with many solutions on federal and provincial policys and such . While resolving these issues with our politicians we also caught alot of fish and hunted every critter under the sun .

 

    A knock comes on the door . Could this be Camper and Trina I wonder . Being a careful man with supplies to protect I look through the peep hole first . There is Trina and Camper patiently waiting for someone to open the door . Making sure no one else is with them I open the door .

   Into the room dance Trina and Camper with pies in hand . Now I grab pies from Camper right away and put them in a safe place cause we know precious items such as these cannot be trusted in his care .

 

   After the usual polite how do's some drinks and beer are poured again . Then the darn cameras appear and after having posed many times and feeling like a model for Cabela's another round is called for .

 

    Anyway by now our stomaches are growling and after making the executive decision of where to eat , off we go to a place called the Keg . The food was great and we had more laughs . We managed not to get thrown out and made it back to the room safely again .

 

   After a couple of after dinner drinks I notice something furry sneaking in the door and over beside Camper . Dang if it isn't our national animal THE BEAVER . Well off he flys down the hall carrying our pies with him .

   I give immediate chase to the beast with the trusty knife Bigguy so generously gave me . I run that big critter to ground , wrestling tooth and nail wondering where my friends are to give me a hand . I finish the brute and skin him right there cause I know Camper said it was cold and needed a fur hat .

 

  Upon returning to the room with fur hat for Camper and the precious pies I find my absence has not even been noticed .

   Camper is asleep in my camp chair and Bigguy and Trina are laughing and taking pics . Myself having just risked life and limb for our precious pies need another beer . Who said this was gonna be a holiday . LOL

 

  Well to bring this story to a conclusion I must say I had fun . The time was way too short but we made every minute count .

   I found my friends Bigguy , Trina , and Camper to be just like they are online . Their honesty , generosity and humour are the same in real life as they are on the web .

   

  I am looking forward to our next meeting and hope some others here can come too . It was a blast and for once I didn't have to interpret through a screen the laughter and joy we have as friends .

 

     WAS AN AWESOME TIME
