Canada Day in Abbotsford
Mrs. Weldangrind and I took in the parade without the kids this year, for the first time. Son of Weldangrind was still fast asleep, and the girl was at a friend's.
The first pics are of some of the Abbotsford Police Department hardware. While I like the Charger, I'd really rather drive the paddy wagon. I loved the still in the back! A series of pics for Kato. Tractors, Elites and an old Mercedes: This is a local Christian youth outreach organization. I learned that there is an Indo-Canadian motorcycle club. I thought it was cool. If there's a Model A Tudor, I'm taking a picture. This is a local fabrication shop that I had an opportunity to tour last year. They run an impressive shop, and they do almost everything in house.

Thank you. Happy Independence Day to you, and to all of my friends from the USA.

Smokin' hot, actually. It was about 34C, but with stupid humidity.

I like the Farmall and the Allis. Don't think that was a diesel Mercedes.

I wondered what it was. Nice looking bike, and they seem to handle very well at low speed.
