I was the one that gave him the $40 guess. As it turns out the whole route for him is ~330 kms if he met up with us at Location B (Vaughan) which is 50 more then my guess before the route was finalized. I guessed at the approximate location of the centre of Guelph so that could be +/- 10km depending if he lives on the close or far side of the city.
Guelph University -> Vaughan 80km +/-10
Route Part A 143km
Route Part B 72km
Georgetown -> Guelph Uni. 40km +/-10
If my math is right that 335 +/-20. My car over the last two months has averaged 11.2 L/100km or 21 mpg with mixed hwy and city driving and I drive rather enthusiastically. Guessing using my mileage and his distance it's about 37-39 litres . Anyway, yeah my original guess of off by a lot, probably pushing $50 plus his dinner and a fraction of the dinner of whoever craves the meanest pumpkin.

There's no more pumpkin carving due to unpopularity with most people here... I would like to carve one though. I think 9291150 is bringing his son. maybe I'll help him design and carve. We maybe doing it at the stop over road side on "The Grange Side Road"... depends if you wanna bring a pumpkin or not .You're welcome to bring one, but a lot of people don't want to.

LOL - go figure!! Good planning footman! Hope the weather is like it was this weekend!
I'm not to into the pumpkin carving and a pumpkin smashing around in my truck. If everyone was gonna do it then ok, but since most ppl don't want to then na. Sorry man it was a good thought being Halloween and all!
How was the meet on Friday night anyhow? So funny you saw me in your truck.

I know eh.. that day was strange. .I had 2 of my coworkers with me. On the way to Kingston in the morning, we saw my coworker's mom on the 401 heading to Ottawa. Then on the way back, we saw the other coworkers sister heading back to Toronto. Then I saw you going to the Casino....
What are the chances eh? and I thought the 401 was big...
I didn't get back to office until 9pm that day. Some major accident on 401 near keele slowed everything down. Ruined Friday night.

Do you plan on leaving as soon as you hit La Paloma? No way its gonna take half hour to get there using Hwy 7.
If anyone wants to meet befor ethe Woodbine and Hwy 7 point, we could meet the Garden Basket Plaza Lot at 16th and Markham Road. This is realy aimed at Hoser, Thumper and Thief, since they are coming from the East Side. Let me know. Thumper all you do is take Westney or Whatever parallel road up to Hwy 7, follow it to Ninth Line, go up on Ninth, you'll hit 16th, and than we're be there at the next Intersection. Let me know guys.
Hoser, did you pick up Socom yet? PS3 ID is: Prospect_PS.
