Our destination today was our friend's Brian 7 Joan's newly acquired cottage in the Thousand Islands. The best route there is through the US, totally avoiding any traffic mess in the GTA. Except for the rain, the drive was pretty easy, Buffalo to Syracuse and then I81 north to Canada at the Ivy Lea Bridge. Their place is immediately after you clear Canada Customs in a location called Benson's Riff.
The rain had started again as we arrived so we hunkered down inside for the evening. There was no TV yet so Brian and I ended up heading into a pawn shop in Brockville to pick up a satellite dish.
Brian's notable quote was: "This looks like my basement but neater!"
It was too miserable outside to try a quick install that evening to watch the Raptor's final game but we did manage to hook my MacBook up to the TV and stream the game via the newly installed wifi! But crap, with six minutes to go, TSN freezes up! I managed to re-establish a live stream with 90 seconds left and we got to watch the epic victory.
