    Boat Rentals

    I consider fiberglass hulls homogenous units, laminated with unwaxed resins so the layers chemically bond. Patches are glued on and I don't trust them.

    "T" slips are still coming in. I usually have all the paperwork stacked up by now.

    Bike show next weekend

    I haven't been in ages and might go. My image needs some cheap leather, not gear quality.

    Eating out

    Maybe. Shaman or anyone, Continuing the point, Is there a price point that makes you draw a line in the sand and what triggers it? It's the reason so many prices end in .99 Most car fill-ups are under 100 liters. Put two gas stations next to each other and have one priced a half cent lower...

    Eating out

    Thanks for the answer. While munching in a local good smash burger joint, I asked about Uber pricing and the girl couldn't answer the question because ordering through a delivery service, you order from their menus at their prices. Plus tips taxes fees etc. I have to research the grocery thing...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Damn, My package arrived this morning, shoved through the slot. It didn't feel right. It was one of those plastic envelopes sealed for life. I slashed it open and it contained one of the three parts I ordered, a packing slip showing three items shipped and an apology from CP that the item of...

    Eating out

    Will it be harder on the middle of the road eateries? Sometimes I just need fuel for the stomach and I don't care what it is, McDs, BKs or Costco's $1.50 hot dog with drink or huge slice of pizza with drink for about $5.00. Most people look for cheap and convenient, (my view). You can get a...

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

    I’ll be watching this. We just bought out our gas rental tank. At $43 a month the savings will pay for it in two and a half years. The plan is to set up for an electric one which is totally serviceable by a homeowner. I have to look at panel capacity and tank location. Electric tanks don’t...

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    One has to think like a photographer. A creative or enquiring mind can always find something interesting. Then there’s my stepfather, an ex-Manitoba redneck farmer. When they got back from a railroad trip to BC with my mom I asked him about the scenery and he said a lot was boring. He said...

    Don't forget to file your taxes

    I don't know what happened this year, but "T" slips are coming in late and CRA continues to have several people looking after one account and the one on the left doesn't have a clue about what the one on the right is doing. If you have a question pack a lunch before you call. If you get...

    Eating out

    Unless you have a car full of people, the fuel and wear and tear costs favour flying. It's just the cattle car attitude.

    Boat Rentals

    A friend likes to buy boats that have been neglected but not abused or trashed. A touch up here or there, a lot of buffing, a loose fitting or two gets him into a boat that he could otherwise not be able to afford. What scares me is serious hull work on complex boats, ones with aft cabins. I...

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    I'm debating about driving to Manitoba this summer. If it was just me, I would consider renting a Caravan and do some van camping. Once in Winnipeg I can stay with a cousin but if I want to sight see, Manitoba has a lot of tiny, interesting places but they're 100 miles apart. I don't know the...

    Eating out

    My cousins live in the peg and when I visit, eating out is usually finger food, fast food or quantity over quality. I haven't been back since before Covid but I've seen some Manitoba historical videos on YouTube and I'm musing about going out this summer. Air travel has become such a crapfest...

    YYZ Plane Crash

    I had to change schools as the instructor at the first one had family problems and it showed in is teaching ability. The problem was money related. While being a flight instructor sounds important the pay sucks. Bad weather means fewer hours.

    Hudson's Bay closing

    I was thinking about the iconic HBC blanket and their history. Where were they made and where have they been made recently. I don’t expect Walmart prices.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I delivered advertising flyers over a half century ago and we weren’t allowed to walk across lawns. As the new guy I got Parkside Drive where all the houses were up a long flight of stairs. For me, as long as the LC didn’t tromp on any flowers, walking across my lawn doesn’t bother me. Dogs...
