Coming Home


Major Dude and the EcoRocket are on their way back home to Ontario!

Many thanks to the St. John's Regional Fire Department, and the boys over at the Brookvillle station for hosting my stay in St. John's. Great guys who are a credit to the profession.

NEW SPONSOR!

Easson's Transport Ltd. has become our new corporate sponsor providing transportation of myself and the EcoRocket back to their Mississauga terminal. I telephoned Easson's St. John's terminal manager, Jason Murphy Thursday morning and he said 'yes' to help the expedition right away. I love that decisiveness.

Jason, Major Dude, and Charlie

After a wonderful night as guest at Charlie and Barb Sample's home, Charlie and I are on our way through Cape Breton after our Newfoundland ferry crossing. With Charlie at the helm, it's entertaining stories all the way home.

I'm very proud to have Easson's as a prime expedition corporate sponsor. You saved my bacon!

Ha, Justin!

Great to hear from you, young man of promise.

Your amazing drawing of Scooby-Doo more than covers the phone bill.

Hope the board ridin' goes on and on, O mad man!

It seems you've been quite productive since we last crossed paths. Good for you. I was speaking with Mr Love and Mr Bodnars over the weekend and it spawned me to look you up.
