Seems better than the ‘60’s smog days. Toronto got the nickname “the big smoke”.

Looking at vehicles. I think we have two circuits that the jacuzzi tub is on that could be repurposed for charging. Before we were looking only at hybrids, but now we have more leeway. Any current picks?

If it has a reputation as a crappy dealer, then it doesn’t matter if you live next door. I have a shop a few miles down the street that I trust with my bike. I’ll see if there are issues when they need to order parts.

People used to buy dynamite at the hardware for “environmental purposes”, not that long ago. Neighbour of mine used to blow up beaver dams with it.

Someone’s selling tandem rigs on Ottawa Facebook marketplace of all places. “All complete tandem Sigmas and Micro Sigmas - NZA and Icarus mains - Vigil Cuatro All inspected and airworthy. Please contact me to see the inspection reports and prices for each rig. These are tandem rigs Marie-Eve...

Glad I took this earlier, there are thunderstorms and blackouts here in Ottawa now.

I went to Stittsville near opening, which is the wrong time. The issue with my earlier run might have been getting the X removed from my license at the same time. An hour after opening would have been a better time to show. Walkley, which is the drivetest centre is a nightmare unless you have...

The one I’m at used to be like that. Now they have a kiosk to check in, and appointments are more than a month out. I went to do this earlier, but they said it was too early. The website says 180 days.\_O_/

What happened?!?

They used to sell rolls of DOT stickers at the show.

Seems difficult to get into a trade nowadays. In my dad's and my time, you went to the union(675), signed up as an apprentice or journeyman, got your book, and were sent out to jobs. If you were an apprentice, they'd send you to Casa Loma campus for a short course later. Both my kids tried to...

Return of the Native and Who has seen the wind, here. Can a novel where a heath is a character, be fun? No. I lobbied hard for the Scarlet Pimpernel, but my English teacher pre-decided that it was all plot.

Is it better again? Last time I was there, decades ago, the burgers were raw. We stopped there for years when I was a kid, because you could climb all over the trains, and they had a rabbit pen. We used to eat our burgers on the roof of the caboose. I'm pretty sure that's no longer allowed...

There are supposedly cars now that you can't change the brake pads on, without connecting to a dealer network and using their software. The era of the $500 oil change is approaching.

Neighbour is getting a fourth car, a model Y. I think our federal taxes might be subsidizing it.

I have a separate jump starter. Couldn’t find one that would boost and fill more than a half a tire for a decent price.

Ewww. That’s a nope, nope, nope from me.

I have some Bose QC earbuds, as well as, hearing aids that both fit in my C5 helmet. Both would disappear quickly, were I to wear them regularly. The C5’s built in speakers are good enough with foam earplugs.

I ended up with a usb one from Costco. The 12 v plug in ones would blow fuses in all of my vehicles. I think I got mine on sale, https://www.costco.ca/fanttik-s200-apex-tire-inflator.product.4000403043.html
