    OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed on Tuesday that the Canada-U.S. border closure on non-essential travel will remain in place until July 21. The previous agreement was set to expire on Sunday.Jun 16, 2020

    I am working on a project with startup testing next month.  Unsure if this qualifies as essential or not.  Doubt having a Raptor in the truck bed will convince the border agents to let me cross.  Must come up with another strategy

    My dad would have liked that horse. He always looked for a horse that was wide between its ears. He always said a horse with narrow ears doesn't have room for any brains.  That was his opinion.  Lol

    Thanks.  Hard to say about the ears part.  This one is very quiet (warmblood) and predictable compared to my first ride (retired racehorse). Both are smart, and each had their own set of fears or trigger points.  

    Found it interesting that once I explained something to the thoroughbred, it seemd to be acceptable.   He could not deal with boats or small watercraft on ponds and lakes.  Luckily,  I had multiple trail options behind the farm to get past this obstacle.   Not sure who trained who in this case.  Just something that continues to make me laugh when I think about the experiences

    Those are the smallest handlebars I've seen. But a nice furry tank cover.

    LOL

    It's called a seat warmer.  Benefits from assisted drying when wet.  Drawback is it tends to develop mud and dirt accumulation during refueling.   

    Handlebars as minimal due to rider assist and verbal instruction features.  For those who haven't experienced these features,  its awesome for 99% of the time.  Unexpected forward acceleration and rapid lateral acceleration rarely occur when automated feature is engaged.  Guess one cant have everything.  Lol.

    i did not write this. But found it interesting.

    This will make you think!

    When the state tells you it's safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it's not about your health.

    When the state shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it's not about your health.

    When the state prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it's dangerous, but allows in-person lottery ticket sales, it's not about your health.

    When the state tells you it's dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motorboat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it's not about your health.

    When the state puts you IN a jail cell you for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but lets criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!

    When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor of chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!

    When the state lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, it's NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

    But the absolute BIGGEST thing I have a problem with is when the state says you can't meet at Church but can meet in mass at Lowe’s, Walmart, Target, Costco ..etc...It's not about your health.

    WAKE UP PEOPLE — If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes  and realize this is bigger than a health issue. 

    Quite interesting and very true.  I am forcing myself to not make my post political and will only say these actions by the government will repeat whenever _they_ feel the _need_  to restrict movement of the population.

    While we were at LeCabanon today from approx. 2-3 pm a police car and ambulance were out by the road past the gate. There was supposedly an accident but nobody including Diane and Frank knew anymore info 

    If anyone does here please update us here and I hope whomever it was was nothing too serious 

    also heard a guy from France died last week in between Repos & Kanawata by hitting a tree. Very, very sad.

    So sad to hear.  My condolences to the family
