    Ardoch Spring

    Sounds about right. Everything is fine until you approach the Parham end and it’s only crappy because they ran the snakes so close together it’s a band of slippyness rather than spaced ribbons.

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

    I was thinking the same. Woodpeckers don’t randomly attack any old piece of wood.

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

    I bought some open box Yamaha outdoor speakers from Best Buy more than a decade ago (maybe 15 years?) and wired them into my Yamaha AV receiver in the second zone and mounted them outside above the deck and they sound fantastic. They’ve been through cobwebs, insects, accidental power washing...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Shelter with Jason Stratham on Amazon Prime You know how this one goes. Moody guy with hidden past gets disturbed. Kid involved who he needs to protect. Easiest way to do this is to kill everyone. And that’s a wrap.

    Turning left at intersections

    Watch some clips on those old movies and you’ll see the “mods” added a bunch of mirrors to their scooters. You should go one better and add enough to make your ride as wide as a semi. That should help. When I was a kid there were “mods and rockers” fights. One lot in fishtail parkas would...

    Anyone into gardening here?

    I’ve been putting the dunks in everything I could find but I forgot the rain barrels. I knocked the cover off one last week and a bajillion of the little blood suckers flew out. Need to sort that ASAP. In the meantime I bought a few more of the tennis racquet bug zappers from crappy tire for...

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

    It definitely changes the neighbourhood . A family home for an average family of 4, half of which are kids, all of sudden houses 6-8 adults with more cars than the driveway fits. This place has a pool which borders the street too so now it’s party central with landlords that are out of town...

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

    Toronto people just purchased a house by us for $790k as an investment property. That kind of sucks, was hoping it would go for a family home. There’s a reasonable chance this might be AirBnB'd.

    The shop vac I got last week at HD has increased. Maybe not everything changed. Crappy Tire has a big sale on right now with a bunch of tools at up to 50% off. I think that runs until Thursday.

    Looks like some of the Home Depot deals ended but I think that price is still available from other vendors.

    Berries and twigs are universal foods and come with a bonus that preparation is very quick and easy.

    I did something similar on my chimney with some fancy fancy European “grout in a tube” thing.

    I used to eat Spam. For a while I even thought I was being healthy by eating Spam Light.

    I’m sold on the power ratchet. I just had to readjust my aftermarket cruiser pegs that I bolted to my crash bars to give me a different position to stretch out in on longer trips and usually it’s an exercise in loosening and tightening bolts multiple times until the position is right. The...

    I once had a colleague describe hotdogs as eyelashes and bumholes in a casing. That kind of ruined them for me for a bit.

    Ardoch Spring

    I like a destination ride so today I went out to look for Ardoch Spring which is a natural spring just off Ardoch Rd on River Rd. Ardoch Rd is just off the 509 north of Highway 7. Found it. As you turn into River Rd it's literally 20 seconds further down the road next to a large clearing on...

    Maybe I’ll add some Dawn to it or something. Don’t want to swap one issue for another.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    Must have been a crappy winter for mosquito control as they are rampant in my garden and they are massive this year. Trying something new this year. Bought a pack of 20 mosquito dunks off Amazon and I’ll be putting them in buckets of water around the garden to kill off the larvae. I’m hoping...
