    Battery check device

    My business is batteries... (Seriously, I sell and service batteries) Lithium packs are made up of smaller cells in series to build up to the desired voltage; and in parallel to build up the required current - with an intelligent BCM to manage charge/discharge. There are few 'critical path'...

    Signs or common sense?

    The road's been closed for months; and the signage was very visible... The kids didn't miss the signs, they unfortunately ignored them; and paid the price. Word is they were headed to the casino at Georgian downs, and either blindly followed the GPS or (more likely, IMO) took a shortcut...

    Hey bolt whisperers

    Brafasco/Fastening House will 100% have it - but they often have minimum quantity purchases (usually by the package). I had to get a specific reverse thread nut a while back - I needed 12 of them; they had exactly what I needed, but it was a 100 count package... So I have 88 on the shelf at...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Mike was, and probably still is, an immense *******... like he'd be sitting in the living room, and yell at his wife to come from the kitchen and hand him the TV remote; rather then lean over from where he was sitting to grab it, kind of *******. (Seriously, I saw it happen...) He also had to...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... An ex family member (ex-wife's uncle) retired from HydroOne; bought a mack-daddy F450 and probably the nicest slide-in I've ever seen - he was kissing 200k and this was about 5 years ago. Hell, with my old setup (F350 diesel & 28' bumper pull) - I...

    Cable Deck Railings - Any suggestions?

    Keep in mind, that specific municipalities may have additional bylaw/building code requirements.. I used to build decks and fences on the side for beer money. Basic building codes applied everywhere, but one township had a deck collapse and hurt a bunch of people a few years prior; so they...

    My lot just grew 10 feet wider

    It's not squatters rights you need to look into; it's "adverse possession" - and you'll need a lawyer and a surveyor PDQ. Adverse possession can attach in as little as 10 years; depending on a few other conditions - so time may be of the essence here.

    Queen Elizabeth II :/

    Should, but won't... Charles has spent 70ish years waiting for his chance to be in the big-boy chair - he won't abdicate it; and that's a shame, as replacing 98 year old with a 73 year old will do nothing to bring excitement or energy or relevance back to the Monarchy.

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    Zero surprise here, MM - same type of riders run the QEW between Hamilton and Niagara pretty regularly - splitting and taking the shoulders - on SS, full leathers head to toe, full face bucket with a blacked out visor... A close second are the guys that use the space between the HOV and...

    How do we fix the traffic lunacy

    NOTL is one kind of headache - Clifton Hill (in the Falls) is a different kind - people will dead-ass stare you in the eye as they step infront of you... I had one guy step out between two parked cars, and slap the SIDE of my truck (because, I was already partway past him before he appeared)...

    How do we fix the traffic lunacy

    I used to work at a building just west of Union station... there was an alley between the building and the skywalk that lead to my building's parking entrance - when the trains were dumping, the lemmings were completely oblivious; just strolling down the middle of the roadway. I was in a 1t...

    LSM plates are white on green, vs blue on white for MC plates - it was an MC plate (or an attempt at one, anyways)

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    Was driving on the QEW the other day (Burlington area) - Scooter in the slow lane, doing 30 under the limit; full on Dumb & Dumber style... Had an MC plate on it, but didn't look right, and no way it was bigger then 50cc, based on the size of it. I wanted to get a pic, but couldn't in time...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    I've been camping for most of my life... tents, tent trailers, and travel trailers. Some thoughts, in no particular order: - The towing limits of the Odyssey will tie your hands greatly - not just the weight, but also surface area of the trailer... Cross-winds & head winds won't be kind to...

    Didn't ride this year...

    You're not alone in not riding much this season... For a few reasons (mostly health related - I have some heart issues that have been kicking my ass a little more then usual) - I've put maybe 250km on this year; and questioned if the ongoing costs (insurance & maintenance) are worth it. I...

    Motorcycle plated under incorporated business?

    A corporation is a legal entity; so there's no reason why the bike couldn't be owned by the business... now as has been mentioned up thread; insurance may be a different animal. All my company vehicles are owned by the corporation - all the drivers (or potential drivers) are on file with my...

    What Comm System?

    Sena 20S here - partly because my HJC lid was pre-configured for the Sena system; and mostly because since I ride solo most of the time, compatibility wasn't an issue. Pairs fine with the BMW Nav VI, and with my phone... I get voice prompts, listen to music, and can receive phone calls no...
