But not necessarily in that order.

Great bio, thanks.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Rob:

Nice bio... interesting stuff... and that is a pretty good Franco Nord-Ontarien family name. Pilon... grew up with a few who had the same hobbies/favourite outdoor sports (snowmobile racing) that I had. They even had their own dealership 8) :D

Hope you get to garden some more and get another Cub or two. You are right, they are really addictive.
