I haven't been to Canada since they didn't want to let me and my girlfriend
( now my wife) back in, about 52 years ago.
Looking back, I should've just stayed there!! Ha,LOL!
Here comes the good part George... They like it a lot! The young man (early thirty) was amazed and asked me ton's of questions I told him I have a headache driving almost 6hrs from NJ to pickup my first SGT, he wanted to know how much I paid for it and how many GT I have, he wanted to know if this was my retirement plan! I told him I try to avoid talking about it in front of the lady sitting next to me in the truck! Josy made fun of it and we all laughed a lot, next thing I knew he just told me how fantastic my hobby was and wished me a safe trip home! Nothing more!

Like I already said, some people make your day!

If you come to pickup a Cub in Canada I have to do the same for you, both side of the fence do that, who knows if you didn't steal that Cub from a guy like me?
