    Odd thoughts on driverless cars

    Anybody see this article last year? Jeep Cherokee has drive / steer by wire, brake by wire, gas by wire, etc. You're not physically controlling anything, servos motors implement your inputs. Some hackers found a way to play grand theft auto with your car. This is just the beginning...

    Motorcycle Outdoor Storage Question

    Get a good quality and well fitted bike cover for the summer backyard parking. Better covers can be locked under your bike. It will be enough protection from the elements.

    Cheapest way to transport a motorcycle

    CAA. Just say bike won't start and you need it towed. Or, there's a motorcycle hauler service I've seen on this site. Not cheapest , but you don't have to lift a finger.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Yes, it will. This is why they have double pole or "tied" breakers. Double pole breakers are also use for your kitchen counter split receptacles. Each outlet in the receptacle is fed from a different circuit, but you want the whole outlet to lose power if there is a problem. Code will require...

    New Rider beginning to get it and things I have noticed.

    My mistake. They were discontinuing the Hyperstrada version in 2017 in favour of the new baby Multistrada 950. I thought they killed off the whole Hyper lineup.

    Dangerous chemicals floating on top of my drinking water doesn't sound like the better choice.

    any way I can cut the line for knee surgery?

    Find out who's on staff at the clinic you want to go to by checking their web site. Then booking an appointment with the non-surgeon should be quick. Once you see that 1st Doc., he can refer you his surgeon buddy that you wanted to see in the first place. Most specialist/surgeons only see new...

    any way I can cut the line for knee surgery?

    His clinic is not private, in the sense that OHIP does cover my visits there. Dr. Bacher is the regular guy I see there. Dr. Galea had been called over to help with an elusive knee issue I had. I think it was close to a year of testing to figure out what was wrong. But they will keep referring...

    any way I can cut the line for knee surgery?

    Have you tried to see if a physiotherapist can help with the walking? A good/honest physio will tell you in one or two visits whether they can help. No reason to limit yourself to one opinion. You should be seeking out 2nd, 3rd opinions now. We "interviewed" 3 surgeons for my daughter's ACL...

    Home furnace shopping

    You need TSSA recognition to work on the fuel combustion system. I only have experience with Lennox, they wouldn't sell me motor for fan without TSSA ticket. Made me find an aftermarket unit that cost half of what Lennox wanted. [emoji2]

    Carb Cleaning and rebuilding

    Pine Sol works if you have time to let it soak. Plus side is it won't harm any bits of rubber left on your carb. If I'm in a rush I use the carb cleaner in a spray can. Count how many turns to push your adjustment screw all the way in. This will tell you where to set the screw when your...

    Home furnace shopping

    I used to know a guy doing custom home renovations. His costs were usually 100% to 200% of material cost for the installation portion. Found out too late about Napoleon factory sales. They just stopped the practice. Sounds like I should look into this since a few of you guys have managed to...

    Home furnace shopping

    This goes back to my original question. Who are the players and how do they rate? Where can I find more info? I've been warned that some of the big brand name guys require their own techs to do annual inspection/ service to maintain warranty. Or they have restricted access to spare parts so...
