Just found this page and this sounds like a great day. I will definitely try to join this next year.

I went for the first time this year. A group of buddies rent a house for the weekend. Arrived Thursday afternoon, hit the strip that evening. I'm 58 and I was by far one of the youngest there on Thursday night. I got the sense that a lot of people were meeting up with their friends, etc...

I would look at all other options before settling on a reverse mortgage. HELOC is a much better way to go. You keep control.

Another option is Montebello, just outside of Ottawa on the Quebec side. Fabulous hotel.

Mont Tremblant in the summer is very nice.

1972 /73 Yamaha GT60. Rode the piss out of it. Rebuilt it with my dad. Rode it hard again. Next was a Honda XR75 then a XL 125. 30 year break and then a FZ6R and now a FJ09.

I heard that they had moved into Gravenhurst and it was just an empty building now.

For those that are interested, my father's house auction (tools, machines, furniture, etc.) launches on Sunday March 2 and runs until Thursday March 6th. 854 different items (lots as they call them) to bid on. Lots of different things to browse through. Minimum bid is $6. Here's the link -...

I haven't had mail delivered to my super box in over a week. My father, who lives 5 streets away has been getting his mail delivered to his super box ever day. There is a bit more snow around my super box and it is a 25 foot walk from the nearest driveway to even get to it. Could that be the...

I have a few scratches on my tank do to a pebble under a tank bag. Does anyone know of someone who does paint repair / scratch repair?

We are using David Moore Auctioneers. Here is the link to some of the stuff that will be in the auction. More to be added shortly. Iron & Grit Equipment Auction - Maple

My step-brother had a full body MRI done in Seattle two years ago, as a preventative measure. I think it cost a few thousand US. Found a tumor on his liver. They went in 3 weeks later and took it out (the tumor, not the liver). All good and a clean bill of health. He lives in Seattle.

I'm in the middle of moving stuff out for my father. I connected with an auctioneer from Guelph. They can take care of everything. DM me if you want more info.

Just had Tag Trackers added to my F150. Cost was $335. Insurance would jump by $500 per year without them. So it was a no brainer. I think 4 or 5 were hidden somewhere in the truck. I have no idea where and they wouldn't tell me. Speedy Glass in Richmond Hill did the work. Clean, fast...

What I didn't tell you was that we recycled another old lathe that had been in pieces for 25 years in the garage. 3000 lbs. Got $200 from the recycler. I figure my father has another couple thousand pounds of steel lying around the house.
