I’m thinking of a July trip around Balsam Lake area. Initially July 3-5. Base camp at Balsam Lake Provincial Park. Riding up Friday. Do some riding Saturday and return to camp or find a place to eat and drink before heading back to camp. Pack up Sunday and head home. I’ve got a riding...

Mail itself is pretty much dead but, there still is a market for flyers and “junk” mail as it is. After that, there is stuff that needs to be mailed/ delivered of importance but, still can be done just as other e-commerce transactions are performed. Passports for example, there is a cost to...

A tactic that may help with a puppy that doesn’t walk is using treats and positive voice commands. Keep a decent amount of treats to hold their attention and praise as they follow you. Our pup hated the cold and snow but, food has been an excellent motivator. It’s still a work in progress...

HDs are odd in ways you might not think. They chew up miles and no issues with ride quality. They do need lube in 3 places, primary, trans and engine. Not a big deal but, it’s something to be aware of maintenance wise. Drive belts are pretty good too. Unless you catch a nail or it just...

I’m not in favour of governments picking winners and losers with these incentives. Pricing will increase and the rebates end up padding manufacturer profits. I’d rather they offer rebates to home improvements specifically to upgrade electric panels and have ev outlets located near parking...

Don’t lead the OP forwards something they don’t want. The GL is a good machine and I’m sure they’ll find the right one for their budget and needs. An HD wouldn’t be bad down south. A vagabond on a HD doesn’t bat the eye air any ICE agents. 😉

My 2025 Ford has an app that notifies you of low pressure. I have to clear the notification every time it happens. And funny enough the vehicle picks up the tire monitors that are stored in the garage. Short answer is the vehicle drives just fine and I get an alert on the dash once I drive...

What a wonderful ride report with pictures! Just what I needed this cold and snowy February and look forward to spring. Thank you so much for sharing.

I kinda compare their web listings with AM Sales. I see what inventory sits and what stuff moves and sometimes they adjust their pricing as the products get stale. Any touring HD, be sure to look at 2009 or newer for improvements to their frame. 2008 and older are less desirable. If going...

I’m sure a Honda gold wing forum will have all the feedback you’ll need for your purposes. And if that is the model that ticks the boxes for you, have at her! From the friends that do high miles for long period of time, the only issue they run across is finding reputable places to get some...

My wife got me a smoke kit for Christmas and find it can enhance the right cocktail. Has the typical apple wood, cherry wood, cinnamon etc. We’ve done it to a few Old Fashioned and I’ve done it to a couple of cheap Whisky that I sip straight so adding a Smokey flavour is nice. Playing with...

Hyundai’s approach didn’t offer true practical solution and was priced higher than their own comparable SUV. More style than substance and cost more. Hmmm…. I liked the style personally but, they priced it higher than any “cool” factor they thought it had. 🤷‍♂️

Good question! Seems post Covid very little. Not sure if the owners decided to pack it in or what happened. Was just out that way this past weekend to check in on White Meadows Farm for maple syrup. I’ll do another drive by Ridge Berry and see what the deal is. 🤷‍♂️ If there are any...

We grabbed our toques and enjoying the hot tub. Not sure how we are gonna get back to the house. 🤷‍♂️

I was in Montreal in December and had a taxi take me to the airport that was a BYD. It was roomy but, everything about it screamed early 2000s Hyundai plastics and Casio instruments. Not sure how long they would hold up. 🤷‍♂️ Granted it was being used as a taxi and would get a lot of...
