    Kids these days think they're so cool ganging up on a kid...

    Literally, it seems these days. I doubt, though, that the issue of accountability will ever be resolved. I remember seeing an editorial cartoon several years ago that pretty much sums it up... it showed a little criminal bastard standing inside a circle of people with an arrogant look on his...

    Kids these days think they're so cool ganging up on a kid...

    One of my all time favourite Sci Fi books. The similarity between his main character's portrayal of the Mobile Infantry training process and operation to my experience in the Canadian Forces was uncanny. Now 'll have to dig it out from my library and read it again, though, because my memory is a...

    Piracy Laws

    The handgun scenario is a real stretch; the issue surrounding the whole SOPA saga is of intellectual property and copyrights, not weapons related offenses. As for my wife's "concerns" about that particular piece of artwork, the full story is that she contacted Harley midway through the creation...

    Kids these days think they're so cool ganging up on a kid...

    I've always maintained that the Young Offenders Act was a useless attempt at "correcting" the behaviour of all the little criminal bastards out there.

    10mm x1.25 stud or button head bolt

    Ah, now we have something to work with. Another option would be to find a smaller sized cap screw, bolt, etc, to slide into the hole that has been given a squirt of silicone adhesive first. Or, better yet, go to CDN Tire or any hardware store and get some of those little black plastic plugs used...

    10mm x1.25 stud or button head bolt

    Yes, but does he know the SAE or ISO rating? What is the bolt for? Is it for a motorcycle, car, boat, piece of farm machinery or what?

    Got Touring Plans for 2012?

    It'll be either the last two weeks of July or the first two weeks of August. The wife has already bookmarked a few good B&B and motel sites, plus I have a few very good friends from my Ural days that live there and have offered us accommodation as well. This will actually be our second time on...

    Got Touring Plans for 2012?

    The looks from the other passengers were priceless, I'll bet.

    Got Touring Plans for 2012?

    We'll be doing a vacation ride to Paradise Island (aka: PEI) this summer. We've done the Cabot Trail twice and pretty much all of Nova Scotia already but just can't get enough of the East Coast, so we're spending two weeks on the island to round out the experience.

    Silver! Final Warning!

    I got bored after a couple minutes and wandered off, did the video end up making a point?

    Career changes

    15 years in the Army, followed by 13 years Millwright and the last 3 years as a trucker, with brief episodes as a Security Guard, Financial Advisor and a Gearing Up Instructor in between. Don't be afraid to bounce around a bit till you find something you like doing.

    RIM Playbook. Limited sale... $200

    I'm missing something here. You have two options when setting up the tablet; if you don't have a BlackBerry ID, you simply create one when you get to that part of the setup. If you don't want an ID, you just swipe the screen to go to the next step. All the BlackBerry ID does is allow you to shop...

    Psychic Nikki & Predictions for 2012

    There'll be widespread carnage at my place tonight, including a 6-pack of Steam Whistle (to accompany the Chicken Chow Meow from the local Chinese delivery), a few bottles of Pelee Island's finest white (leading up to the midnight hour), followed by Peller Estate's finest sparkling wine at the...

    So who here's a shiftworker?

    I did shift work for 13 years when I was a Millwright. Don't miss it one bit. The only way your body will ever get somewhat used to it is if you land a permanent shift, you'll never quite get used to a rotating shift schedule. Except for the taking drugs, most of what has been posted in here is...

    Noise restrictions bylaw coming for Oakville

    If you live in an area similar to where I do, every ten seconds there is somebody going by with that mentality and a set of loud pipes.

    RIM Playbook. Limited sale... $200

    I don't understand why there's so much whining about email. So the PB doesn't come with its own email client... BFD. Is it really that inconvenient to use mail2web or hotmail/gmail/etc? I haven't had any issues doing it that way when I'm using wifi instead of the BB bridge.

    RIM Playbook. Limited sale... $200

    And the next time you're in the back seat of an OPP cruiser, you might be surprised to see the nice Officer using a PlayBook to document your arrest. Apparently it is well liked by the force and there's a very real possibility of more law enforcement agencies using it in the near future.
