About

Hash point was located on by a stump near Bond St. and Ray St. in Oshawa, ON north of a courthouse. Other nearby landmarks included a curling club, and a car dealership.

Expedition

Splitdipless

By coincidence, I was going to be in the 43, -78 graticle on Mothers day to visit my mother. I got her Thai food for lunch and went half in on a new stereo with my brother. He also gave a CD that was signed by the artist, PJ Bond. She liked our gifts very much.

As I had already driven all the way to Oshawa from HQ, I didn't feel bad in making a short side trip in the middle of the afternoon with my car, Em.

Upon arrival at the site, it became clear that a tree once stood at the hash point. A short funeral service was held for Jim. Although, I suppose he would be the-tree-formerly-not-known-as-Jim now. Death cares not for titles.

After gathering the required evidence (I need a camera stand it would seem) I returned to my parents to have some more fun conversation and Lasagna.
