First cut using a zero turn and forgot about the rollbar behind that sticks out wider than the rider. Heat pump is elevated and at shoulder height. It was actually the plastic handles that adjust the rollbar that stick out a couple inches further that caught it. Collection of misfortunes.

I did spray it with my Shout/Water mixture that I use for cleaning my dirtbikes (also worked well a couple weeks back finding a mower tire leak) and it didn't show any bubbles. Some digging found a special HVAC spray to use but hopefully my mixture was good enough. I did pull that external rib...

Heat Pump got hit by a mower. Some fins got squished but the piping appears to be ok. No smells or hissing sound so hopefully it’s not leaking.

A chainsaw is one of those buy-once-cry-once items. A handful of them will be fine but the majority of these cheaper routes work well for a few uses then give the owners so much issues they end up on marketplace or yardsales. I'm speaking from experience on this one.

Drain and fill is actually quite easy to do yourself. Raise it and level it. Drain it, there's a hole on top accessible under the airbox area to refill until oil comes out of the level hole. Run it through gears and repeat (or just drive it until you have time to do it again and repeat). After...

Very sorry for your loss. It's very tough to lose such a great family member.

Dealer also needed for warranty work. I had the dealer inspect a random ABS light issue I was having in the Fall and they couldn't find a problem. The following Spring the issue became permanent and a ABS pump/thingy was found to be faulty and bike's warranty ended over the Winter. The fix was...

Agreed. Bought a rather expensive bike years ago and when I ordered a part at the dealer 5mins away the parts/service guy told me one price when I ordered it then tripled the price when it arrived (said an item came as a 3-piece package then only 1 item showed up and he tried to make me pay 3x...

I'll be in the East coast in a couple weeks and plenty of them down there. That's ok, as long as there's gas I can run on regular just fine since I'm just touring.

Thanks guys! Yeah we’re not fancy but our backs are old enough that we don’t camp much anymore. I visited there years ago and saw the memorial and the falls but I’ve never ridden there (or ridden north of North Bay for that matter).

I know next to zero about gardening. How far back should I prune it? They were about 2.5’ tall in the Fall, rabbits ate them back to about 1’ but they all came back bigger than ever this Spring and all are doing great except for this one that looked great up until a couple weeks ago.

Riding buddy wants to do a ride to Thunder Bay in September. How’s the weather/road conditions around that time and is there a preferable route and place to stay along the way? Would be leaving from the Haliburton area. Two days up and two days back.

Somehow killed one of our burning bush plants. All leaves went limp so I figured water (even though the rest around it were fine). Water didn't help. Dug around it to make sure it wasn't water logged but it was fine. Got worse after I dug up around it so I trimmed what looked dead off it. Have...

I'll lead with the fact that I'm not a soccer fan but I have been watching some of the games. I wanted the Swiss to win but I was also pleased to see that flop being called.

I've always heard of the canoe museum but had no idea until I rode by it a couple weeks ago for the first time what an attraction it is. That's a darn nice building.
