Canada’s Avro Arrow Story is Old, But You Can Still See a Replica at the Edenvale Aerodrome Museum

After all these years, I had to see what the Avro Arrow looked like

Seeing the Avro Arrow Interceptor up front and personal at the Edenvale Aerodrome Museum is another must-see adventure off my bucket list.

Question most people ask: *** Whatever happened to the Canadian-built Avro Arrow Interceptor from the ’60s? Well, folks, there is little mention of this futuristic plane in any American history library. Most south of the border have never heard of the achievements this plane made to the aerospace industry, and possibly could have achieved more if it had not been cancelled.

Thanks to Clipart Library for the James Bond 007 icon with a Google image Pimpmobile background

*** As a car guy, I’ve been known to scour the countryside looking for unusual car finds to purchase. That in the automotive industry is often referred to as “barn finds.” But this custom-built James Bond 007 Corvorado Cadillac was not one I was looking for; however, it came knocking on my door for sale. And stupid me, I passed up this one-of-a-kind car called a Corvorado Cadillac Pimpmobile.

The Order of Canada: Who Should You Nominate?

Order of Canada Medal

Is Canada ready for a little more elbows up? ‘We are not for sale’ or at least ‘more patriotism?’ Question: Who Should You Nominate for the Order of Canada

With the ongoing drama of the U.S. Donald Trump vs. Canada, there is no doubt that we live in interesting times. That being said, a little Canadian patriotism can go a long way in today’s world, and what better way to express that feeling than by nominating someone you think is worthy for the Order of Canada?

‘A Canadian who went the extra mile showing how proud they are of being Canadian.’ My choices are many; however, the likes of Stompin’ Tom, (The Hockey Song) who always sang songs about Canadian values. He, my friend, is high on my list of nominees, but there are others just as worthy.

What is the Order of Canada, you say?

Canada’s Retired Submarine at Port Burwell is officially off My Bucket List

Well folks, visiting the HMCS ‘Ojibwa Submarine was another check mark off my bucket list!

HMCS ‘Ojibwa Submarine @ Port Burwell, Ontario


I must explain my intention for this article. At the beginning of the summer, I made up a bucket list of sorts and places to visit in Ontario. The famous Avro Arrow Airplane Museum at Avendale Aerodrome was one, and today, I’ve explored the retired (decommissioned) HMCS ‘Ojibwa.‘ ‘A Canadian Cold War submarine, permanently mounted at Port Burwell Elgin Military Museum.’

These are two military adventure museums off my summer bucket list.

But, I also have to mention, my fascination with submarines goes back many years, while vacationing in South Carolina, U.S.A. In our travels through that beautiful state, I came across a sign saying, ‘Patriot Point Naval & Maritime Museum’ pointing in, >>> this way.

Green John Deere Farm Tractors

Many transportation enthusiasts may be quick to label these vintage farm tractor photos as “barn finds,” however, I’d like to challenge that assumption.

These tractors aren’t forgotten relics in a general sense, that were pulled from some dusty old broken-down shed. These farm tractors are someone’s carefully overhauled pride and joy. They are displayed out front of a nicely groomed property for all the world to see and appreciate all the dedication and hard work poured into restoring these once workable, now retired farm tractors.
