I was referring to my post and not yours. If my tire is on the rear bumper, when they touch the brakes, the closing speed is just above zero.

The closer you tailgate, the lower the speed differential at impact. Truth but also bad advice.

You could conceivably figure out the path to do it securely. One way is setting the photo as your lock screen photo. Quick way to piss off the cop though if they can't zoom to read it, they need to keep coming back to you to get the other required documents, etc. Many cops don't like digital...

Inlaws cottage still has no power. I don't know the predicted time to restore. It's just baseboard heat to keep it from freezing. Thankfully, this is a good time of year for an extended power outage. They turn off the water but don't complete winterize as the they leave heat on low in wet rooms...

On the flip side, when vacant lots are pushing 500K (or more), if you build a 1000 sq ft house, you are invested for 750K and you can sell for ~750K. If you build 3000 sq ft, you are invested for 1.25 and can sell for ~2M. The economics of small houses on expensive land don't work well.

Maybe if you went into the office occasionally you would know what was happening. Another victim of wfh.

I haven't tried Watson motorcycle gloves. I have some of their work gloves. One got caught on a nail and the seam ripped. I saw a rep at a store and told them what happened. They mailed be a few new pairs. I can't complain about that service. I find the knuckle protection on the ones I have hard...

There is nothing incriminating on my phone but I'm not handing it over. If theyre feeling extra prickish, they may "accidentally" drop your phone and there is no recourse for you if it breaks. Photocopies in my glove box to hand to the cop.

Because at times I had three trailers and two vehicles that may be pulling them. Not a huge deal but not trivially simple. Also I didn't really think about it.

I thought country of origin was the important bit and it could transit through USA without attracting the stupid tax?

Most of the land is not owned by the builders. They leave it in the hands of the farmers and pay yearly to keep their option to purchase alive. Only shortly before building do they actually pay the big number and transfer the land into the development corp. No politician has the stones to force...

Not to mention land value. Vacant lots near me exceed "affordable" housing. The suburbs Mike mentioned are far far more. Either the houses are land-lease (fundamentally a rental that doesn't appreciate much) or they are not affordable even if tiny and cheaply finished. Something like a four...

Mulch is cheaper than plants. Less is more. I would plant in bunches with space between them. Over time, everything reverts to filled in with chaos.

On a bike? Call ahead for canadian tire as most of them only have one or two techs that are willing to perform a safety on a bike. Obviously any bike shop can do it (but they'll be crazy busy right now). I think theoretically any auto shop can do it but many don't want to.

I don't know if they still exist. In the few times that I had them, they were a huge pain to use or convert to cash. ID checks, need an account at the bank, etc. They just did everything in their power for the money to be trapped in that piece of paper. They are also beaten up my inflation...

It's worse than you imagined. Many of those dbags go up there and cause damage (like kicking over your chimney). Then you go from no issues to a real issue that requires immediate intervention. They often charge tens of thousands to fix the damage they caused.

Most of my trailers have been built at home by someone (either me or others). It sounds likes I'm the idiot for not carrying trailer ownership as most other people do. Live and learn, time to make some copies.

I threw on a sheet of 3/4 ply 15 years ago. It's still in OK shape. @mimico_polak used aluminum checker because he's fancy. I like this review "It's a long story, but in one instance the trailer was mistakingly loaded up with almost 3 times it's weight limit, and survived a short trip (DO NOT...

I don't trust them at all. They are still on the wrong path imo.

For the septic systems I have had to deal with, only one had a pump as part of the main system. They others had pit pumps to go from basement fixtures to tank but everything from the main floor to tank to weeping bed was gravity.
