KWSN Orbiting Fortress

KWSN Sir CADCAM

Well, the Missus and I have finally done it.

The house is sold, we move out March 28/08. Shocked

We are going to stick around the Greater Toronto Area for 4 to 6 weeks afterwards to tidy up our immediate affairs.

Then, we start our big adventure. #Shocked

We are driving our truck and 5th Wheel trailer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Juangriego, Nueva Esparta, Venezuela. Shocked

I have set up a web site so that people can follow our travels, you can find it at >- Venezuelan-Journey <-, btw, it is still very much a 'work-in-progress' so please be patient.

I am still going to be coming by for visits to this Den of Loonacy, you can't get rid of me that easy. Razz

The 'farm' will continue to run until the systems are retired or re-formatted by their new owners. #ni-1

Any comments, silly or otherwise ??? Rolling Eyes

Unfortunately you are not passing near where I live. Good luck on the roads in Central America. Also maybe you can borg President Chavez's computers for KWSN.

Wow. Here in Australia we can only drive to Australia (although it IS a long way!).

The thought of driving to Venezuela is awsome!

I will follow your travels via the web page.

Sir Loin (Currently building a 5th wheeler in the shed out back).

Great Sir CC , any chance of pics/specs of your Rig ('pecially the Tractor/Truck) ?

Did a (somewhat) similar thing 40 ish years ago (In Europe and beyond ) with a motorcycle and sidecar home built special . To this day , I have still done more miles on a bike than in a car (and my from new Landy has over 250,000 miles on the clock - and that's the replacement speedo !) Alas , no pics survive of that trip Sad

Looking forward to yours !
You need good tyres and spares the further south you get ! (To say nothing of the cold chisel and half a brick to do any repairs Very Happy

)

There is a time in life when a change is required and your's sounds great!

WOW!

That takes alot of guts (or PGGB's) to do something like that Sir CCotWR! Is this something you've planned for a while,job transfer or something? I applaud you. Hope your journey is safe and full of adventure. I'm looking forward to the updates. #ni-1

You gotta be friggin' nuts! #Shocked

I knew you were an old geezer, but I still thought you had all the marbles in place. Confused

Unless you're starting up some kind of new drug operation, I can't see why the hell anyone would want to go to Venezuela.
Sure, it may be a nice vacation spot, but live there? Hell no!

Still, I do wish you all the best.
As long as you remembered to pack a mosquito-net and an Uzi you'll probably be ok. Razz

Watch out for the Venezuelan Electric Death Penguins!!! Shocked

I hope you and the Missus have a wonderful trip!

Take 3 guns.
One to give up to to whoever.
One to keep secret.
One to keep very secret.
The road is always more dangerous than we planned for.
And keep a knife in your boot.
You have people to protect.
Also, find out what is expensive there but cheap where you're going so that you will have something to trade.
Good whisky is always welcome.
Sorry to sound paranoid, be safe or be sorry is my watchword.
Enjoy.
ps take an extra knife.

If there is one this that works out good (for me!), I will finally have a chance to catch him in the total posts standings with out having to resort to cheap little posts just to run up the count.

Current Standings:
1 Michelle 8984
2 KWSN Sir CADCAM 7180
3 mohrorless 6614

Now I can concentrate on posting things with quality and intelligence like BOOBIES!!!!!
