Back from Etobicoke, Ontario. Uneventful trip. Homeland Security guy asked where I had been. I had to spell it. He had heard of the place, but did not know how to pronounce it either. [FYI, it is a industrial section of Toronto.]
Now I also know where they make the institutional 12 inch X 12 inch tiles in Canada at least. Got there at 530 for 600 am appointment. Walked all around the factory looking for where to go with the tanker. Really wierd, no locked doors, no guards, no people until 6 am.. I guess there is nothing worth stealing there.
Next I go to Monaca tomorrow and then to East Angus, Quebec, then back to Jersey, get some gasoline additive and on to North Carolina.
Had to stop in Sherbrooke, QC. for delivery the next morning. This picture was taken Sunday afternoon at 4 pm. It was about 15 deg F with blowing snowfall. Lake effect snow from one of the many lakes in the area.
Just past 8 am next morning. Cardboard plant is sucking the white stuff out of the tanker. It is 5 deg F. I have delivered here before and the fellow inside who receives the material is a delight to deal with. He is jovial and likes to practice his English. So I went inside, couldn't find him, but left the sample bottle and the papers in the normal spot and went outside to hook my hose up to the pipe that comes out of the building and my tanker. I came back in 15 minutes later obviously freezing and he greeted me by saying: "Hey, this is CANADA, not FLORIDA!! It gets cold here!"
I agreed.
The view exactly 180 degrees from the prior photo. The St. Francis river is frozen at the dam which is under the bridge. It seems like standard papermill design to have a dam on a river for water and power.
