The reduced lanes on The Gardiner are currently a limit of 70 Kmh (though I question the legality of the signage) and I doubt anyone is doing less than 100 through there.

And on to the final piece.

Local parents, picking up their kids from school, are some of the worst drivers (and parkers) that I've seen.

Addition to my warning: Because of the ticket I recently got for doing what I thought was still the limit in that stealth reduced limit area, I enabled limit warnings in Waze. This change was so recent that Waze was telling me the limit was still 50 Kmh. EDIT - Oh, and if anyone here listens to...

A follow-up to my "I'm the idiot" post in this thread, from a while back: If you drive in Brampton and don't want to be the idiot, like me, be aware that I just saw another stealth reduction in a speed limit. The limit on Balmoral past Bramalea Secondary School, at Balmoral and Bramalea Road...

Rewatching "Corner Gas" on Tubi. Six seasons of great Canadian comedy.

Use your imagination. ... then make both parts 150% worse.

Today I saw two Lamborghini Aventadors on The Gardiner. The first went straight onto the QEW. The second took the ramp onto 427 and damned near took my front bumper with him. Thinks that horsepower and paddle shifters are a substitute for shoulder checks and driving skill. I still beat him to...

Powder flask holder finished.

Just watched that this morning :ROFLMAO:

True. I had to go through the normal process of vetting for my restricted license, in order to purchase a pistol that takes 10 minutes to load. Back when I bought it you could buy exactly the same pistol, in New York State, with just your driver's license. EDIT - I know a place that's currently...

I have a 5 pound can of smokeless that's formulated for replacement of black powder.I bought it when I bought the pistol 30 years ago, but have no idea why as I never had any intentions of firing it :ROFLMAO: Same with the caps and 100 lead balls.

It's a replica of a 1861 Colt Navy cap & ball revolver, in .44 cal. I looked into a cartridge conversion, a while back, but turns out it's not a great idea for brass framed revolvers.

I'll need to do some research then. I got my PAL and Restricted cert almost 40 years ago, when there were four levels; PAL, Restricted, Restricted (with transport privilege), and Carry. I've only even met one civilian who had a carry permit. EDIT - The RCMP site states an authorization to...

And shot has a lot less recoil than a solid single ball round. Lots of space for the pressure to escape when fired.
