    Garage Doors

    Mine are fibreglass with aluminum frames. I'd guess they are 30+ years old, but I inherited them, so I can't be sure. The only issue I've had in my 5+ years here is the chain on the motor has come off once, and the bracket that holds the chain has broken. I used a welder and junk-drawer finds to...

    Dialog volume in movies much lower than other sounds

    Interesting. I have trouble picking out sounds, so if I'm in a crowded room, or there's a little background noise, it's very difficult for me to hear speech. The sounds are just jumbled together. But I hear everything. My wife and I are in a constant battle. I turn the volume up to hear the...

    Belair Direct

    Back in '08, when I got back into riding, I had my insurance company at the time, TD, quote several bikes for me to get an idea of cost before purchasing a bike. One of the bikes was a 1000 Ninja, which was somewhere around $2000/year. With the assumption that was about as high as it would get...

    Belair Direct

    I believe it because TD is VERY overpriced. I use a broker to find the best rates.

    Good to know. Thanks.

    Pickup Trucks

    I sold my 2017 Ram Sport when the gas prices first shot up to 1.70/liter. I expected they'd keep going up, and my commute was already at $95/week at 1.65/liter. I went and bought a crappy little Mazda3 for the fuel economy. :cry: Now I find out about the F150 v6 with eco-boost getting from 8 to...

    Britain’s calls early election, should ours do the same?

    What I find amusing is that even if they managed to start catching these thieves, they'll release them with a slap on the wrist the next day.

    Britain’s calls early election, should ours do the same?

    Jagmeet won't let it happen. Trudeau will do as much damage as he can (people already hate him), then he'll resign shortly before the election so the new Liberal leader (Freeland) can pretend to be better than Trudeau to win back some of the CBC-washed brains and prevent a PC majority. Then the...

    Stolen Ktm superduke

    Sorry to hear it. I hope it works out for you, either gets returned, or you get a better bike through insurance. Hopefully you have good insurance. My bike was stolen from my backyard 6 years ago when I lived in Hamilton. I got a call from the Hamilton police at about 11am asking if I had a...

    Funny. We all know how frivolous JT is with tax-payer money, but this criticizes everyone but him, the guy with an 82 vehicle entourage, tax-funded vacations, and weekly private jet trip (must be an electric jet). If this does prove CBC's bias, you are too deep in the propaganda.

    In my opinion, the Conservatives wouldn't be good for Canadians, but the Liberals are pure evil attempting to destroy Canada. If they had a chance, I'd welcome the PPC.

    PP was adopted and raised by school teachers, JT's dad was PM. No comparison. BWT, that's old-school teachers, not the pink-haired groomers my children have to be subjected to these days.

    The obvious reason is that the older generation rely very much on television media for their news. We all know Trudeau has bought that media support, as much as he is trying to silence those he can't buy, so it's no surprise the elderly would vote the way they have been groomed to.

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    After a walk through crown land last week, I think biting insects will be much worse than I anticipated. Water and shelter I've been learning and preparing for. Insect, not so much. I hate to use chemicals so I'll research natural alternatives, like types of plants, or dirt/mud.

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    Great advice, thanks. I just completed the non-restricted, and restricted, gun courses (brag: 100% on all 4 test!) and learned that you can get hunting insurance with $5M liability for very cheap. I'm sure any land owner willing to entertain the idea would require this, and it will help when...

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    I've seen the Alaskan season. It was good, informative. I was disappointed in Donny's early exit. I thought he'd win it easily. I want be watching another season though because the editing for dramatic effect is annoying, but more because I watched to pickup tips for myself, and the editing...

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    I'll be staying away from mushrooms, for sure. Unless I see a puffball, they're pretty unmistakable. I found crown land 30 minutes away, so there's an easy out. We also allotted 4 days, but I was clear to the kids (9yo boy and 17yo girl) that we can leave after the first night and regroup better...
