Motorcycle Supershow

Heather's parents were in town once again as the Motorcycle Supershow was taking place once again in Mississauga. This year's event was held a week later than usual as it was held in the second weekend of January.

We also left later than last year since we only planned to do sightseeing. We had breakfast at the Cedar Barn in town before leaving for the show around noon. It must have been a busy show as it took us some time to parking spot. At the show, we walked around the exhibits collected a few flyers and ran into a handful of acquaintances.

We left the supershow just after 5 and spent the next hour watching the runway of the Pearson International Airport as planes were taking off. From there we headed to the Mandarin for the annual VROC dinner. There were about a dozen of us eating and talking for a couple of hours.

Happy New Year!

Heather and I decided to spend New Year's Eve at home. We thought of going to Sudbury but since we both worked, we thought we'd spend the weekend at home. We even woke up on New Year's Day with no intention of leaving home and started watching movies in bed.

But as soon as the movie ended (we watched "Heartbreak Kid" with Ben Stiller), we quickly packed some clothes and were on the road to Sudbury by 11am. We encountered some snow fall around Barrie but otherwise the traffic moved well.

We almost didn't make it as in my usual style, I pushed ahead until the gas tank was near empty. This being a holiday we had to drive right to Sudbury where I filled up at Canadian Tire after driving for more than twenty minutes with the gas light on.

The first order of business when we arrived was to find a pharmacy since Heather forgot her medication. Like I mentioned, not a lot of planning went into this trip.

We spent the weekend mostly indoors with a quick visit to see Heather's grandparents. The weather was quite cold as we walked with temperatures hovering around -25C throughout the weekend.

The ride home was a bit more white but still uneventful.

Braving the cold.
