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.

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.
