Shored up the walls a bit...

    Skilled trades college

    The skillsets of people vary greatly and will be quickly exposed if they chose the right lane, or posses the skills needed for the job. One of the guys I've been using for a helper for 8 or 9 years is completely useless when it comes to technical aptitude. He's 28 or 29, has watched me install...

    Pickup Trucks

    Any particular reason you would stay away from them? Only has 14 engine idle hours so not like it was just sitting and running like a security or police vehicle might... He talked about tons of low mileage F150's that come up in these dealer only auctions.

    Soccer Canada car flags $4

    I hear on the radio every day how much people are struggling, can barely afford rent, have to use food banks, etc etc...why isn't the stadium half empty at those prices.
