    Just got back to the shack from a whirlwind tour of Minnesota....dropped a load of spuds in Shaska then ran up to Williams for a load of seed potatoes.....reloading Monday for Beloit then who knows where.

    Oh and when I was up in Williams I swore I could smell Molsen and Labatts coming over the Canadian border:biggrin_25523:

    I did try one. :)

    I'm back in the US. I survived the Quebec province without knowing any French. Made my delivery, no problem. Drove through Montreal to get to my pick up, then after my paperwork was faxed in I headed for the border and stopped at exit 1 for a nice dinner and a nap while stuff got processed. At 2am I headed to customs.

    Oh and even without knowing French (aside from merci), by reading the exit signs I was quickly able to figure out north, south east and west. That came in super-handy as I had to navigate a few highways to get to my delivery, and a few others to get to my pick up.

    I did feel bad though. Going through Montreal, west-bound traffic was backed up horribly. Turns out, 2 lanes were blocked because Werner rear-ended a 4-wheeler. It's stressful enough having an accident in the U.S., but having one in Montreal where most people prefer to speak French has to be, oh 4 times as stressful.
