100% I bought some on the hotter end of the spectrum and it did the opposite of make anything better. Since that experience I buy either a blend or get actual peppers and render them down to powder or near-powder. That being said, I have learned that the secret to "hot" tasting but delicious...

Well. I have a killer recipe, but it's not for the faint of heart. I hate to say it but I'll have to get back to you, I need a computer to go back online to get my recipe. All I can tell you is that they refused to rate it at a chili contest because it was SO powerful (hot but that wasn't the...

It must, it has a larger tank and a less high-revving / cammed version of the LC8 than my Super Duke.

The power was off in Wilno on Sunday. I was a bit concerned. :) Luckily the grill and fryer at the Inn run on propane. It turns out that Barry's Bay still had power, thankfully. So I still don't know the range of the KTM but coming home I got 235km indicated out of it and still had about 1/3...

Looks like we have a guitar player that really wants to come onboard with us. And he sings. My year of music isn't slowing down. I just picked up this TOTAL unicorn in Toronto. The owner thinks it might be the only one in Ontario. A FRFR (full range, flat response) cab from...

Jim filling in worked out great. This was the stage @ Bath music festival in Finkle Park. We brought a saxophone player in Laura Richards. She did a great job of filling in and soloing 'Born To Run'. I've owned the Dingwall for less than two weeks and did 3 gigs with it. Somehow it's got...

On reflection, I have done such a huge amount of music and done so much playing out this year - and I plan to do more as I work on retirement, in two groups and working with a recording artist. It's been awesome. I know it's not winter yet but today's gig (and tomorrow's gig!) just hit home...

Seeing as how Carney has just put Evan Siddall - you know, the guy who said that people shouldn't be able to own homes and that the equity wealth of homes should be taxed to "improve" intergenerational inequality, that guy - into the position as director of "Build Canada Homes<tm>", it's very...

I have a zero-turn Toro that has held up really well for 8 seasons. Was in the ballpark of $5K in 2019.

Something a little different for you

My best friend took his family to Scotland where he mostly stayed with friends. Two young boys, a teenaged girl and his wife meant a whole lot of walking and that sort of thing. More importantly, he brought me back this: Yes it's been opened, my first order of business was to have both of us...

THIS route meets with my approval! Good times.

City of Kingston from Amherst Island.

Some Yamaha bikes you will have to. And some Suzukis. The R1 with full traction control and all kinds of other digital features is 11 years old this year. Time moves on.

It's a long drive to GP Bikes, so I've done what maintenance I can here. Some things I can't ... right now I have a SERVICE code on my KTM and no idea what it is, because it should be longer for an oil change to be due... BUT these things are computer-controlled now and I was working that motor...
