    Window shopping again

    I am still looking at the Tiger 900GT c/w hard bags. I just wish they would fix the Tracer 9GT.........it is like a bad 1st date - I really want to like it but cannot get past the face.

    2026 Rides

    The ride through Upper NY, NH and Maine is absolutely beautiful and is a much more scenic drive vs Eastern Ontario and Quebec.

    Skilled trades college

    I have deposited $3k-5k without so much as a blink of an eye. Do this 2-3 times a month and your money is now available to do whatever it is you want with. When I was busy doing side jobs I used cash for all my misc expenses - fuel, groceries, car repairs (tires/brakes), and any home...

    "I moved fast in every company by doing a few simple things. Acting like an owner - I learned everything I could and made decisions and action thinking like an owner. Do the dirty work that everybody avoids - it turns you into the go-to guy that everyone notices and respects. Never **** the dog...

    Bought my fishing boat (2 yr used), all my guns & bows are cash, and my last Triumph I paid cash - 1/2 down in he winter and the balance when i picked it up. Whenever I go to the bank and ask for anything greater than $10k they have to ask you what your intention is and I always smile and say...

    Oh, and one more thing.........do not do work for landlords, bars or restaurants. Landlords do not understand what a cash job is - cash is cash.....not a cheque, not EMT.....CASH! They like your number and ask you to do the work but when the work is done they want to pay you by cheque or EMT...

    Skilled trades college

    Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing all solid trades. Nice thing about those trades is the opportunity for doing side work. When I transitioned from being on the tools to sales I had time on my hands and a flexible schedule so I started doing side jobs for friends and people that I knew. Nothing big...

    I agree 100%. Start an apprentice and teach him how you want things to work instead of re-programing large union job mentality - don't kill the golden goose. When I ask contractors many say they do not want to train them then have them leave - but that is a sign of how one treats employees

    Personally I am not a fan of the pre apprenticeship programs. Ideally try to get an electrical contractor willing to start an apprentice but those are getting quite rare, and those that do often hire 3-4 kids and then offer the best performer an apprenticeship. I went to University first, then...

    Time to boycott

    During COVID shutdowns we had take out 2-3 times a month and had a rule - no chain restaurants. Only local and independent businesses get our business. Even now, when my wife and I go out to dinner we only dine at local independent restaurants whenever possible.

    Time to boycott

    Boycotting a company is much easier when they have a crappy product and crappy service like Singh Hortons. I can count on one hand how many times I am caught I am sipping a Timmies in a year (usually at an Enroute when there are no other options or in a meeting when someone brings it in). I...

    COVID and the housing market

    I grew up in East Hamilton and went to school with mostly white UK backgrounds, Italians, Portuguese, and some Pol's. All of them worked hard, valued education, kept their property in excellent condition and had very strong family ties - many had Grd Parents living with them. They were...

    COVID and the housing market

    I think that has more to do with the type of people that migrated into these communities rather than the migration itself - ability to assimilate, adapt a skill, or trade and become gainfully employed, and avoidance of illegal activities.
