Ordered Sunday night…arrived today.

Unless the thief is about to hurt my family or someone in the store, I'm not getting involved. To potentially get stabbed / killed for a few bottles of booze? Tools? Toys? Whatever...is just not worth it. When I was a teen at Food Basics I saw some guy shoplifting a full cart of meat. I called...

Like cars, I enjoy RWD propelled mowers than the FWD mower I have. I find the FWD ones tear at the grass more than the RWD/No WD mowers...but dad bought it for me as a gift so I'm ok using it until it dies. Then I'll cruise through the EV Mower thread somewhere.

I would LOVE a robot lawn mower for my rear yard at the very least. Front yard I wouldn't let that thing out of my sight, and would just drink beers as it does it's thing. The back yard lawn is effectively rectangular and nothing really in it's way so it'd be perfect. Plus it's enclosed and...

Mowed the lawn for the first time (lawnmower started on pull #3). Spread out about 2-3 yards last night around the front yard...I can't feel my back, arms, and legs lol. Having 3 'helpers' didn't help. I enjoy how they're currently fighting who gets to help me more...I don't look forward to the...

Well in my experience what a customer says a job is, and what it actually is when a contractor arrives can be two very different things. Not saying this is the case but over 20+ years in small contracting, consulting, and working for a civil contractor the miscommunication (deliberate or not) is...

I don’t find it odd at all. I actually think he did the right thing. Job is simply too small for him to travel out there, and when he does quote you the price will be primarily the travel and mobilization fee. I think he did the right thing instead of giving you the ‘F off’ quote that you 100%...

I like it. Not too bling but a nice touch.

Just me. You've seen my yard, it's not small lol.

'There may be doctors that may leave the country due to this new capital gain tax on their incomes' 'No problem. We'll just bring in more foreign doctors. We're good' Effing hell...

All it will do is teach others NOT to post it online, not with their face in clear view. I would love for the Food Bank to actually vet those who come in, but understand the ramifications of that decision. Additional paperwork, and the stigma that comes with it to people that actually need it...

Just arrived…it’s a lot…

I just ordered 6yrds of soil…I’ll find a way to keep warm…

Here we go…TD Data Scientist (avg pay of 98k) did get fired… https://www.ndtv.com/feature/indian-origin-man-fired-after-video-shows-him-getting-free-food-from-canada-food-banks-5511482 Good riddance. So not a student apparently, but even worse…a well to do person just ripping off the system...

I'm almost tempted to lease a Bolt or Mach-E for 2-3 years, and then just use it for the time while the tech continues moves forward. But I've never leased a car so still not sure which way to go, it's time for a discussion with an accountant.
