    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Just in case it helps. There’s a kit you can buy after an install that is an injector and a special compound that fills gaps under laminate boards. It’s an elastomer so the floor still floats. You do have to drill a small hole but you can plug that afterwards.

    Another RFD deal. Cordless highly rated Bosch sliding mitre saw 40% off. This one I am interested in as my old crappy tire one can’t deal with wide lumber. https://www.rona.ca/en/product/bosch-18-v-8-ah-12-in-brushless-mitre-saw-with-battery-charger-and-accessories-included-gcm18v-12gdcn14-19836447

    I bought a cheap Chinese concrete mixer for a job. Did the job, kept the mixer for a year then sold it making most of my money back. Cost less than renting one after all was said and done.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    The Costco stuff is kind of deluxe, still a good price mind you. Cheapest way are the $1 topsoil bags although I’m probably dating myself here, not sure I’ve seen topsoil at that price for a while.

    Getting bike from Algonquin area to TO - Best Option

    Woody's cycles in Perth is 170 km from Barry’s Bay right on Highway 7. CAA would get the bike there probably but there may also be a few other places I don’t know about that are between you and Barry's Bay. Woody's is pretty convenient on the highway though for both getting to and from back to...

    Ok that’s neat but I’m trying to think where I’d realistically prefer to use that over my cheap wired one. In situ vehicle repairs maybe? I mean I still want it.

    Saw this on RFD. I want it…currently have no use for it though….could have done with it several jobs ago. Bosch rotary hammer reduced from over a grand to 300ish. https://www.rona.ca/en/product/bosch-profactor-18v-hitman-connected-ready-sds-max-cordless-rotary-hammer-gbh18v-36ck24-19836440

    Redshift handlebar suspension and cane creek seat post suspension helps a lot on my gravel bike.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    I bought a Fiskars manual aerator and it’s a decent workout and I can also use it whenever I want (rather than hiring the big machine thing). It’s made a decent difference to my lawn as has throwing a shovel full of good soil around here and there. I’d just get the cheap big bags of good...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    The name was taken by a Spanish company but they provided a statement that “they did everything they could to keep this going” or something to that effect which probably meant licensing the name to Canadian Tire corp in Canada.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Raleigh has filed for bankruptcy. Once upon a time this was the biggest bike manufacturer in the world. The developer of the Chopper (I had one).

    You can have the fuckers then. They are little bastards. :) I don’t mind the black ones now that I know they don’t cause any harm. I don’t mind bees (as long as they stay out my walls). But wasps can just **** off.

    Isle of Man

    It’s a reworking of an old Celtic symbol, the Triskelion, that doesn’t have any feet. My family is Manx on one side. Very neat place. The only peak in the UK where you can see England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales (never been able to, it’s always bloody misty). Cats without tails, kippers...

    Anyone into gardening here?

    All summer I’ve been watching for wasps to make sure they don’t nest in my siding or soffits. Big nest in the ground instead. Little bastards. This one was by the front door. Lots of activity. Blitzed it with three cans of raid. Sat around waiting for the stragglers to come back and...

    Science news of the day

    It’s not just one…there’s more and more of these people and it’s a serious issue. They are easy to identify, they will ask for more and more evidence of one side of the argument that is often supported by robust science or evidence yet give any ******** conspiracy spouted by some idiot a free...
