    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Nice. I'd like a pull-type blower. Initially this winter I thought I'd sell/trade my open station John Deere 5510 4WD loader tractor for something with a cab but less horsepower and continue to use my existing blower. Now I'm thinking it would be less expensive and less hassle to just buy a...

    Groundhog Day 2026!

    Like the other fellow said - trade it in. That's what I did in November with my KTM 1090R. GP had a new 2024 GasGas 700 so I inquired as to trade-in value on my 1090. The number they gave me was only about $500 less than they were listed for on Facebook and Kijiji for in Quebec so I jumped at...

    Leather vest - do’s and dont’s ???

    These guys: https://www.bristolleather.com/ Made in Montreal. I have a bristol leather jacket that I bought in 1989 at a leather shop near Pharmacy Rd. With proper care (and no road rash) it is still in excellent shape, and is repairable if required.

    Restaurants

    We go to Scenic Drive Restaurant on Highway 45 north of Cobourg for breakfast regularly, and I've been there for lunch. I've always thought of going for dinner as the menu's look good with a meat, fish or poultry option, sometimes with a local musician playing, but just never get around to it...

    Restaurants

    I met an old friend for lunch last week. I asked him for a suggestion where we could meet and sit for a while to catch up, with location being convenient for both of us, and food & drink quality being basic and not necessarily special. He suggested Perkins (!!). It's EVERYTHING I avoid when...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    WHOA!!! I thought it said $500! I was thinking for 500 that's not bad, but exactly how fast a 150cc honda 4 stroke with a centrifugal clutch could be is subject to interpretation. I don't think it's bad looking, but I fondly recall the ads with Ricardo Montelban rolling his r's saying...

    Leather vest - do’s and dont’s ???

    Putting the SOA patch on the back invites unpleasant interactions from lots of different people/perspectives for as many reasons, though none of them are worth much. I prefer no logo at all, but you could consider a big winged logo of the brand of MC you favor, or your favorite band as was done...

    Ryan Wedding

    That was a really good explanation of what took place, at least I guess it was. The media was speculating yesterday that a cartel is hiding him somewhere in Mexico. I think it's more likely that a cartel has disposed of him in several places in Mexico.

    Bicycle carrier

    Google: https://www.2x2cycles.com/ Probably not cheap, and depending on the value of the bicycle you may not be interested in cheap, but it's a starting point.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Rabbits will chew through the plastic mesh easily, likely just for fun. The cracked corn can attract rats, so be aware. There's a product available called Critter Ridder at Home Hardware that is a mixture of a variety of black and white peppers mixed with some sort of light oil and sand...

    Show us your musical instruments or collections thread...

    Several years ago I decided I wanted to learn to play guitar. I bought a Seagull acoustic, then a Music Man super sport. Now that I'm retired and have time on my hands, I started taking lessons again. I played bass when I was young and still have my 1979 Precision, a 90's fretless Mexican Jazz...

    Is kijiji no longer a thing?

    I don't know Sweet F*&k All about the cards you're wanting to get rid of, but I had a modest collection of hockey cards that I just wanted to be rid of last spring. My collection had a handful of older cards with some moderate value, 4 Oh-Pee-Chee sets from the mid eighties (pre-junk-wax era)...

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    The expropriated airport etc. lands in North Pickering used to contain quite a number of interesting, attractive, culturally significant (for a variety of reasons) villages, houses and farms that were parts of thriving communities when the idiot government(s) stole them. Over the decades, they...
