Malcolmt Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If anyone is interested I will be taking / meeting some people from the Fossil Forum to go to Penn Dixie (Hamburg NY) on Friday June 2 and Brechen (about 1/12 hours north east of Toronto) on Saturday June 2. Please PM me if you are interested in joining us. Expect to work hard but come away with some nice goodies. Both localities are good for trilobites, Brechin also adds crinoids and cystoids to the mix as well as brachs and all those other things that I don't collect.

Ludwigia Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ah Ok. Of course it's still on. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I will also have some members of the Dry Dredgers from Ohio up there on the 10th so I will be there both the 10th and 11th. Roger where are you coming from when you are meeting me on the 11th. I need to decide if I am going to stay up there on the 10th or come home and go back up with you.

Ludwigia Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'll be driving over from Sauble Beach, so I guess you can stay up there if you want. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Noooo, Jon Pertwee! He was my 'Doctor' as a kid. When you're a kid that's your Doctor. Jelly baby @Kane? John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a jelly baby please, but there's something wrong with K-9... Pertwee always seems to lag behind Baker on all the "best doctor" lists. Plus, Baker did the intro/outro narration for Little Britain ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Pertwee was the best. The 'best doctor' lists were compiled by Baker's family of course. Besides Pertwee went on to do Worzel Gummidge. Little Britain, what a fab series. Did you know Baker never saw an episode? of course the best ever modern comedy series over here was The League of Gentlemen. Job Pertwee was a regular character. Most people don't know that he was the taxi driver. She's my wife now.... John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Have to disagree of the old series it was definately Tom Baker and from the new it was a tossup between Matt Smith And David Tennant. Peter Capaldi needs to regenerate!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I think I've been away from the english speaking world for too long. Besides, I haven't possessed a TV in over 40 years.

Kane Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 So, Tom Baker wins two votes to one (and neither Malcolm nor myself are in the pay of the Baker family ). With that being settled, back to the thread... @Malcolmt I'm looking at an affordable place to lodge near the JD. Closest I've seen is a B&B at about 130/night (but it is virtually minutes away from the site). It's a bit of a drive for us, so we were planning coming up the day before. My Google searches have not borne much fruit, but Google has been a headache lately. I didn't know if you had any recommendations if you occasionally had to stay overnight in the area. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 @Kane There are 2 motels along highway 48 just east of Sutton. No idea on rates or quality, but they are there. That will leave you with about a 1/2 hour drive to the quarry. I don't know if Beaverton has anything but it is a lot closer. Orillia will have something for sure but again, you'd be looking at a 1/2 hour or so drive. Orillia will give you a much better selection as far as dining choices though. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 So far it is Jay, Joe, Carl and myself for Penn Dixie on Friday June 2. Joe and I will be there about 8:30 depending on how nice border security coming in from Canada is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just supersaturated in my youth with Rocky & Bullwinkle, Huckleberry Hound, Red Skelton, Wayne & Schuster, Twilight Zone, Ed Sullivan, Wonderbra & Alkaselzer commercials, etc.,etc., that I just lost interest at some point. Although I do enjoy watching the odd Mr.Bean sketch when I get the chance Actually I much prefer going to the movies. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
