I've got a nice collection of tents for various scenarios. My first good tent was a Eureka 3 man (an El-Capitan maybe) and it's still going strong after 8 years. It came with fiberglass poles and they seem to break every couple years so I'd go with aluminium. Eureka has a life time warranty so I...

The choice of bike really depends on how "off-road" you want to get. I have a mountain bike, road bike, and a cyclocross bike and haven't used either the MTB or road bike for a couple years. Cyclocross bikes are basically a road bike with slight geometry changes to make it possible to go off...

I'll be out till the bitter end. Heated jacket is big help.

I'm not too surprised to see Man C up top with the bottomless pockets they have. DeBruyne is a perfect fit there. A few miles away, the "special one" is having some difficulty which makes me quite happy. I think they'll finish somewhere in the top 6 but who knows where. Leicester won't surprise...

Funny you mention "Grace, Too"; that song kind of did it for me. The gravity of the situation seemed to pour out of Gord during that song. I think that, if I put myself in Gord's shoes, he's coming up the stage for his last hurrah. There has to be a lot of emotion running through him. He has to...

The concert started out pretty rough and I was a bit worried that maybe his illness was more advanced than the band was letting on. Having watched cancer ravage many in my family, I can say the chemo and surgeries really impact the person physically depending on where in the protocol they are...

Unfortunately, this candidate will probably take a few of us with him when he meets his demise.

This is fantastic, brings back memories from when I was 13 and my family took a month to head out to BC and back while camping.

Alright, well, I sympathize so here is some help. To figure out roughly what you might owe, go to this site http://www.mysupportcalculator.ca/.html and plug in the data it asks for. It will calculate the child support you would owe monthly. Multiply that by the number of months you should have...

Hard to watch the celebration without a big, wide smile.

If you have a Dual Sport, the Nipissing Trail is a lot of fun

Someone in July put a fiver on Leicester leading the EPL at Xmas, the pay out being 1000-1. Someones really happy with how the season has panned out. Can't wait to see what'll happen in 2016. I have to believe Man C and Arsenal will pull away from the rest then stagger to the finish line like a...

I always thought City was going to lead the league, just not THAT city. My Reds were just awful yesterday against an absolutely god awful Newcastle. The EPL has turned into a total spectacle.

True that! The trend now is for drivers to wear earbuds and headphones. I always thought that was against the law. It completely insulates the driver from what is going on around them and I've found them to be very dangerous to be around.

Good advice above. Myself, I went through a few years of not riding because of life changes. Plus, I moved from up North to Toronto and the traffic is just atrocious. It takes awhile to get back into the groove after a layoff so, when you get back to riding, put your "head on swivel" and pay...
