Border closing will cause me to miss Hershey for the 1st time in 35 years
Looks like I'm out of luck this year and will miss the world's best auto flea market/car show in 35 years due to the U.S. border still being closed. I really wanted to do some shopping this year as I need a 3.25 or 3.33 gear set for my Ruckstell. If anyone comes across one at a fair price, I would be very very interested. I just can't justify buying a new one from Glen as by the time I get it home to Canada, the cost with taxes etc. will be over $800.00 CDN. I'd be happy with a nice used set, either 12-40 or 12-39. Thanks : Bruce ps; If anyone needs a place to rest, store parts, park a handicap vehicle, put out some chairs, etc., spots GAG 27-28 will be available. Enjoy.

No problem, just fly directly to Mexico and get to the Mexico-US border and walk across into US, there are no restrictions going in that direction. To get back to Canada just have the US fly you home. Of course I am kidding, but it is a crazy time now in the US.

... just fly directly to Mexico and get to the Mexico-US border and walk across into US...
...and be deported to Haiti.
The inevitable often happens.

Yeah but most aren’t Steve! And more on the way. Pandemonium for sure!

Only 6 or 7 years for me, but I'm sure gonna miss it and my American friends. Hope this mess get's straightened out for next year.
