Best be careful there @Red Gator , one truly never knows who is on the other end. 
For now I won't make a final decision.

Would you believe me if I said, "I shave in the morning, and in the afternoon, I look like this", Bob?

Oh dear, I can't seem to find your name on the"Good" list Sonny.
That is truly regrettable.
I'm not greedy like @stomp Stephen I only want 17 of these to go with the two I already have, PLEASE.Oh dear, I can't seem to find your name on the"Good" list Sonny.
That is truly regrettable.
A new fishin pole was all I ever needed. And a box of Aunt Elsie's pinwheel cookies.Well, you are on the right list Bob. I'll see what I can do, but no promises.
What is up with today's youth?
What ever happened to the days when a ball or a box of sidewalk chalk was enough?

You will get your wish in the near future @Three Bouys and that's quite the big boy toy.
The post was a "tongue in cheek", but threads take their own unique paths. LOL
I ran the North for years, and have many fond memories of doing so in the Winter, up to and including one trip hauling gasoline to Smooth Rock, my steering in cabover 189 seizing as I entered the curves south of Latchford. Planted both feet on the floor and worried it through the curves and then on up to Cobalt Truck Stop.
Mechanic unthreaded the plug in the bottom of the steering box, nothing. Got out a torch and got at it. At first, nothing, then lumps, sludge, milk, mud.
Frozen solid, and obviously rarely if ever maintained.
Never steered better after that service visit. LOL
See? I love Winter and snow too.

@Red Fisher I didn't normally stop there as it was out of sync with our customers back in the day.
When I delivered fuel/gas, Cobalt was too close to N Liskeard or Kirkland Lake to make sense as a stop.
Running up 11, I used to stop at the Happing La ding in South River, (somebody kept stealing the N), or Marcel's "The Bay" in N. Bay and then Butler Lake when it they existed and then the Driftwood when heading to Smooth Rock/Kap/Hearst.
Running up 17 I used to stop at The Stallion or Parry Sound Trk Stop northbound and then Nairn Centre and then any place with enough room towards the Soo. Never liked Husky.
I doubt many of them are left save Nairn Centre today.
