    Getting old sucks...

    Earlier this year I tore my distal bicep tendon clean off. Apparently the most rare and serious of the possible bicep tendons to snap. The two most common causes are weight lifter / bodybuilder running too much juice and outdoes it or.... middle aged man lifting a too heavy box. Guess which...

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

    In that case, when you roll it up onto it's nose, keep rolling that turd right out to the curb and get rid of it, lol.

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

    Take off the fuel cap and put a plastic bag over the opening. Put the cap back on and tip the machine over to your hearts content. No leak. Don't forget to remove the bag afterwards.

    Wow, they just built a huge new warehouse in Pickering. Glad my cheque for that project has already cleared.

    Sub-Compact Tractor

    Any cab is brutal in the summer. It's like being in a fishbowl, in the sun. For winter operations just wear some insulated coveralls and a snowmobile helmet if your blowing snow.

    Vacation season is upon us!

    Got a 12 day UK, Norway and Iceland cruise coming up in May. Nothing until then as we got back from a 14 day Alaskian cruise lot long ago.

    Sub-Compact Tractor

    I've seen those, and they look interesting for sure. Plow wins for moving snow any distance, especially with speed. I've replaced the blower on my small lawn tractor with the snow blade and couldn't be happier.

    Sub-Compact Tractor

    We have a 2014 or 15 JD 1 series tractor in the family. We bought it new, before the prices went totally nutty. We have the loader, the backhoe, 54" belly mower, box blade and front mounted snow plow. A year or two after getting it, my father installed a TekTite heated hard cab, which I hate...

    Are you old enough to remember these motorcycle shops in To?

    A buddy of mine in grade school used to ride a GT mountain bike with a McBride's sticker on the stem.

    Hydraulic Press in Scarborough

    As a professional mechanic, thall shall not heat a front end component that is to be reused. Guys will do it, but not the ones you want working on your vehicle.

    Hydraulic Press in Scarborough

    Are you trying to remove a sealed hub/bearing assembly from the knuckle? Or press out an old bearing and race? I ask because I saw mention of the hub buster, which would be the former. Air hammer is the key to success. Benefits are twofold. Firstly is the impact force for driving purposes...

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

    Cement takes 28 days to fully cure. The higher the moisture content of the Cement during that time, the stronger the fully cured cement will be. Ever see a bridge deck being replaced, or other large concrete paving project and see wet burlap sheets draped over a poured section? Keeping it from...

    H2Oi Wasaga Beach

    Tourism is the life blood of Wasaga Beach. That's why they are taking such drastic steps to ensure a bunch of hooligans who behave in a non socially appropriate manner stay out and stop driving visitors who actually spend money away.

    Pickup Trucks

    My truck appears stock. 315/60R15 drag radials are the largest tires I could fit under the stock body work. I like the sleeper look. Only thing that gives my truck away is the loud lumpy idle. That 468 passes everything but a gas station.

    Pickup Trucks

    Very nice. My '78 is a little more low key, but much like this one I am sure, the only thing it hauls is ass.

    Pickup Trucks

    Nothing wrong with coil springs compared to leafs. They are sized according to the load they are to handle. Tool boxes in my 1500's are well over 500lbs and never come out. Regularly put an additional 1k in the box and then pull 3-5k of trailer. Truck barely squats and handles like a dream...
