Finally heading out west to BC and I'm due for new boots and rain gear. New to me bike might need further farkles.

I get a few VM in Chinese cause I don't answer unknown numbers. I get some random texts but i just delete/report/block. I figure most of the texts are just phishing to start up a slaughter (pig butchering scam)

My favorite part when he spooks the maid on the stairs making his hair crazy and then he has to calm her again.

We don't feed our dog at the table, he hovers and his head is right at table level but will then just chill on the floor. A different story when we go to my parents house. They do feed from the table and he will walk right up beside my mom and stick his head under her arm lifting it for food...

I tend to keep my vehicles long term and escalating maintenance costs v. worth tend to be the primary factors. I've been riding for about 20yrs and Bikes while I do keep, a change in riding style/needs drives the change. First was a used 1981 XJ750. Sold for wanting a "sportier" looking...

Collar 24/7 for tag(s), harness for walking and car. Remember training is not a linear upward line, it's more like a mountain range profile. Your both learning each other, temper expectations and emotions.

At home I do pour over. Use a nice lil hand grinder (Q Manual Coffee Grinder - 1Zpresso) does enough beans for a cup and measure the water with a scale. I drink it black. Since I only have a cup or two per day it works for me. A friend owns School coffee in Mapleview mall Burlington so I...

I just switched from a very old and tired SENA SMH-5 to the base Cardo Spirit. Sound quality is far better than the old SMH-5, enough where I can now not just listen to music the new unit is loud enough to hear all the music and I can now hear podcasts and there is still volume left. I just use...

Add to my list of stops heading west to BC next summer. Thanks.

Wife and I rented a K1200LT in Vegas several years ago. Toured out to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon (South Rim) and back in a day. While a little sketch being blown around by the winds that night on the way back, there is a core memory made while riding down the Interstate in AZ where the...

401 covered in brine last night & tonight on my way to work.

Same. I love hearing it fly over my house.

I love "Idiocracy" (Disney+) it's silly and fun. I'm still amazed at the brand names/marketing they were able to get rights too. Fun fact Crocks are the footwear of the future because everyone in the movie is wearing them because the costume designer had a limited budget and because they...

VW seems to be pushing them. Cash prices are $21,000 off and 0% finance (0% 60m) & lease (0% 48m) options. If you find the right lender could be an option. https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/2025-volkswagen-vw-id-buzz-canada-price-discount-incentive
