    Order yours now, HD's CVO Road Glide RR

    Just exactly where will these be raced? And at a quarter million CDN. That's a lot of money just to brag about whatever DJT is doing today.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Monday we drove to Woodstock along the 403 and saw traffic backing up on the westbound 403 in Brantford. I took the first exit I could and bypassed the problem. Coming back several hours later the westbound traffic was backed up several miles. It turns out that a low flatbed trailer can't fit...

    You assume they took a legitimate course. Companies can do their own training.

    I would likely to highly recommend a book

    The promo blurb says it all but the truth is too ugly to face so business will carry on as usual.

    Good news thread

    My wife loves the stuff. To me there is no such thing as bad ice cream or bad bacon. For truly bad beer one has to go to the USA.

    CUPE at Pearson?

    That's federal turf isn't it. Unfortunately your government is unavailable to help as they are busy having a snit fest.

    GPS vs Phone

    I used a standard Garmin GPS on my Goldwing and didn't have any problems. It was sheltered and if it was wet out, I put a plastic bag over it. I added an output jack to the unit so it fed into the intercom circuit, overriding the radio or media. It didn't work well with gloves. I wouldn't use...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Reality. In our neighbourhood we have dog walkers that take the family pooch for a stroll. Could a cottage industry be personal letter carriers? A person sets themselves up to get other people mail daily and put it in the addressee's home mail slot. The charge is $XX a week or $X times the...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    What is the sweet spot for door-to-door delivery? Raising rates brings in more money per item but reduces the number of items. Where do the lines cross? I'm guessing the spot is low and to the left. The end is super boxes and special delivery at courier price levels. The 748 million loss...

    COVID and the housing market

    Decades ago a friend bought a new place with a hefty mortgage getting a better than average rate based on him using blue chip stocks as collateral. Then the market tanked and he had to sign over more stocks. Fortunately he had them. So many factors.

    Damn used 4k smart TVs getting very cheap.

    I wore out my remote on my 15 year old Toshiba and went generic. The proper remote would cost more than the TV is worth. The TV works fine but one input died and I switched to a spare. No service calls ever. Remember the tube sets and fading CRTs?

    Boat Rentals

    People like to see them but don't want to own them. Like horses, When I was towing my pristine 14 foot cedar strip to be sold a little kid said "Nice boat" Aw shucks maybe I should keep it. I didn't.

    Boat Rentals

    If anyone wonders why sales ads here are closed to comments, this is why. Wooden boats and their restorations aren't a lot different from restoring motorcycles and cars. It is usually only of benefit to the person being paid to restore the vehicle. Money calls the shots, not emotions. Insurers...

    COVID and the housing market

    While that sounds opportunistic, sacrifice sales are auctions. The seller has to dump debt, even if they have to pay someone to take the boat, Corvette or Harley off their hands. Best offer wins. They owe $700K on the house, $150K on a toys and can't carry the $850K. They subsidize the toy...

    Are there still bylaws banning overly reinforced houses. It was a spin off from biker wars

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    One repentant crook pointed out that if he saw a ton of hardware on the latch side of the door he bashed in the hinge side. Most chain locks aren't good for much more than keeping the breeze from pushing the door open

    COVID and the housing market

    The first thing that comes to mind is lumber prices. Will the never-ending soft wood issue drop Canadian prices due to supply / demand? Will a tariff hit imported items such as plumbing, roofing and electrical supplies? Will the tariff hit Chinese items imported through an American seller or...

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

    Try pulling out the concrete embedding the post. I drilled a 1/2" hole diagonally through the mess after speed boring enough rotten wood out to see where it went through. A piece of rebar through the concrete gave an internal grab point. Build a derrick over the blob and hoist with whatever...
