    Brake Replacement for CX-5

    Spoke to him. He knocked off 10% from parts. Thanks! The only issue is, I live in Burlington. Going to Scarborough and back would negate the savings.

    Brake Replacement for CX-5

    I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 which has around 102K on it. I got the rear brake set replaced at 70k last year. OEM. On the last service, I was told that the front brakes would need replacement next time. The time is due. The front pads and rotor are original parts; from when I bought the new car. I...

    Had my first highway ride in heavy rain tonight.

    In addition to what others have mentioned: I use the rear brake more than the front in slippery conditions. This is the inverse of what I do, in dry conditions. And of course, it goes without saying - progressive braking, more delicately in wet conditions. Another thing to watch out for is...

    2023 Day Trips!

    Finally back home. Rain was a close companion these 2 days. Plus, got ticketed for speeding in quebec 😕 I got excited as soon as the rain stopped on the 101 South going towards Temiskaming from Laniel. My first (hopefully last) in Canada But I enjoy riding, regardless. I enjoyed this ride as...

    2023 Day Trips!

    I am doing the Temiskaming loop. I eventually ended up where I intended to be when I left home, but I cut out a few sections from my route owing to the rain. Thankfully I am not soaked. Annoying ride? Yes - Primarily because of the spray from the trucks ahead. Here is the route I ended up doing:

    Heading south

    We were there for 4 days. Family trip. Took the PATH train each day from Exchange Place to WTC. Don’t have the patience to drive in NYC. Have done my share of crazy driving in Delhi for 10 years.

    Hydromorphone

    I was on hydromorphone 1mg as needed for billary colic. For the last two years. In cases of extreme pain, I have taken 4 * 1 mg at a go. Messed with my head; dry mouth; sore throat. But it took the pain away. After the gall bladder removal, problem solved.

    2023 Day Trips!

    Southwood 13 is in the best shape I have seen it, in the past 4 years. Thoroughly enjoyable! Also, a first for me. A black bear crossed the road ahead of me. It was surprising because this was on the White Fls road, not too far from the 400!

    Norden Canada Ride Report (*pics*)

    Such beautiful pics topped up with eloquent storytelling. Have always been a fan of your narration. Thanks for sharing your adventure! Highway 20 to Bella Coola reminds me of another road back home which was terrific and terrifying at the same time - gravel, without guard rails and also on the...
