I have Underarmour 'script sunglasses for daylight hours. I have no issue, but weirdly, I feel much taller while wearing them. When I don't wear them, it appears that I'm dragging on the road. It's strange. Other than the sunglasses, I don't wear glasses expect for reading, although I did just...

Not sure if this is useful for you, but I have noise cancelling earbubs. I can hear pretty good, which is expected, but I was surprised to find that others can hear me pretty good, too, even through the wind noise. I wear a full-faced helmet. The buds are Monster Archive 100, which is getting...

I hope you do it. You only live once, and it sounds like fun to me!

About using ChatGPT (or as I call it, Chad), we all know by now that AI is very flawed. I suggest using Gemini as well as Chad. If you run through both, you'll often catch a glitch when it happens. I've used Chad quite a bit, and since I've been using both to aid in accuracy, I've found Gemini...

Went camping with my 11 year old son this weekend. We started True Grit, on your recommendation, while watching the fire burn. We are enjoying it. It's well written, with just one minor inconsistency, and the narrator is fantastic. She has the old-country wild-west accent down perfect.

I recently enjoy some of the Korean shows on Netflix: Wonderfools Teach You a Lesson Viral Hit I liked them all, but you have to understand it is created by a different, but similar culture, and allow for some silliness and exaggeration. Viral hit might have been my favourite of the three...

Well... Very mixed feelings here. Is that Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report? Please tell me it's a different Stephen Colbert. D*mn. I just looked it up. It is that Stephen Colbert. The guy used to be funny before he got overly political. Tom Bombadil will probably be a trans woman in his...

I'm glad you said that. I have the audiobook ready for my next listen, but I might borrow the hardcover from the library instead, after I finish The Martian.

When I realized working at a factory was rotting my brain, and thought read would help (which I hated when I was in school), my cousin told me they were making movies for LOTR, so that's when I decided to buy the books and read them before the movies were released. Turns out it would take 3 or 4...

I'm in Brantford. We have Hunter Steel for that sort of thing. I wanted longer bars on my Katana to accommodate accessories, so I found a chrome straight bar from some off-road bike that was about 2.5' and cut them down to 2 custom lengths.

I like all kinds of fiction, including fantasy. I'll give True Grit a read next. I'm currently reading The Martian, and listening to The End of Everything (a Scottish apocalyptic series following two teen sisters) and the Grey Man intermittently. For years LOTR was my favourite books because...

Thanks for the clarification. For the record, I did stat that I'm a "financial idiot". lol I was under the impression they were all managed, although for some, like gold, silver and copper ETFs, I did wonder what there was to manage. Again, I assumed they had managers choosing mining companies...

Wealth Simple, and I left some in Questrade to ride. I have TFSA and my kids' RESP at Wealth Simple. Their RESPs are doing better than my TFSA despite similar investments. This is how I see it, to buy and sell stocks you need to know what you're doing, and have a LOT in information available to...

Yes, I can attest. My bike was blown over twice while covered and on the centre stand. It took the second time for me to realize it wasn't some a**hole that pushed my bike over.
