Keith,
Well OK, eh! ;-) Yer a Hoser now! :-)

However there are a couple of very important things we don't usually let
"new Canadians" know about until they're settled here for a bit. And that
is, "you must use pure Canadian Maple Syrup on pancakes or at other times
where syrup is required, like on ice cream or other good things. ;-)

And if you like beer it's essential you drink good Canadian beer and have it
on hand for any visiting Hoser's who may drop by your acreage.! ;-)

Apart from that, always say, "Thank you!" And hold the door for a lady. ;-)

See things as "There are no problems... Only solutions!" Even with
compromise. And without question. "NO isn't an acceptable answer to solving
anything as there's always a solution!"   Now that's generally being a
Canadian. ;-)

Glad to have you aboard.:-)  So where's your acres, like what Province?

Well OK eh. Certainly with the Canadian designed and made Leica lenses,
after all we did make the Noctilux and a couple of other beauties in the
"Black Forest" of Ontario, like in Midland.. :-)
