I would watch anything with Ann Margret in it, I don’t care how bad it is .

Not a myth.You can absolutely backfeed the grid from your home under the right/wrong circumstances. Tying in a 240v generator to your main panel can backfeed a transformer on the street and step it up to thousands of volts on lines that someone is working on. Consider getting a “Generlink” if...

Yes, to some what I do seems like voodoo black magic. It’s been an interesting career. At the risk of sounding like a name dropper, I’ve decorated Conrad Blacks Christmas tree many times, reset the power bar Keith Richard had his tea kettle plugged into, set up Mick Jaggers dressing room, did a...

In over 40 years as an electrician I’ve only had to reset a main 100 Amp breaker once in a home, the cause was loose terminations on the main lugs causing the main breaker to heat up and trip prematurely. I tightened them, problem solved. Your problem may have been from the inrush current when...

I was in the Kennedy/401 area and they got hit pretty hard with a few intersections flooding and hail. One of my customers owned a large,older commercial building nearby southeast of Woodbine and Steeles, they had problems with flooding in the area.The city bought it from them, knocked down the...

I came across this gem the other day, directed by none other than Toronto’s own Norman Jewison, definitely not his best work. I remember seeing it at The Elane Theatre in Scarborough in 1975. Watch at your own risk.I think they used a fleet of Honda CB125 bikes for this movie.

Best commercials ever, I don’t know what they paid him but it wasn’t enough.

German engineering in the haus!

Are we talking about a screw driver?

Reserve price for this 1978 one owner Z1R is $35k US. Grab a beer before you watch this, it’s rather lengthy. I’m interested to hear everyone’s thoughts.

That seemed way too good to be true. As I said earlier, Princess Auto sells the “Big Red” 2 ton shop crane with load leveler on sale every few months for $350.

I sure hope that’s not true.

Yes, it’s only about 3’ deep though. Great for doing oil changes and yes, I know they are prohibited.It came with the place.

Rockin’ the VIP Lounge at Mosport. There’s more chins than a Chinese phone book in this photo.

I just recent built my own MiG cart too, could have bought one but thought it would be a nice little project. I already had a pile of 1 1/2” angle iron that I used. By the time I bought the drawers, paint and some other odds and ends it probably cost $200 but way nicer than the Princess Auto...

I’m at mosport now and it poured here yesterday afternoon. I usually watch the races at the snackbar on the hill at corner 2 ( they also have beer) that’s my favorite spot. Yesterday we watched most of the races at The Mario Andretti Not So Straightaway, probably the fastest part of the track...

Amazing, how can you make something like that in China, ship it here and sell it for $125. You can’t buy the wheels, hydraulic cylinder, raw steel never mind the paint and welding consumables here for that much.They must be cutting corners somewhere.

Princess Auto sells that exact same setup for $350 every few months made by “Big Red”. It’s going on sale in a week or two. Probably made in the same factory in China just painted a different colour. Have you ever actually tried lifting an engine with it? What were the shipping costs? I’m...

A buddy of mine lent me one of these for the afternoon. I rode from Port Perry to Fenelon Falls for lunch and back. Always liked these bikes but it was the first opportunity I’ve had to ride one. It was way faster than I thought it would be and a real nice bike to ride everyday. The one I rode...

Then you probably saw them at The Knobby. I could walk there from where I lived.
