    Grocery store boycott

    Rarely grocery shop at the big box stores and have not been to a Loblaws (or LCL to the "insiders") or any of its affiliates for almost 10 years. Get my stuff at the ethnic stores (Polish/Portuguese/South Asian/Chinese/Filipino, yes in that order of preference)

    Windshield Rain Repellents

    Interesting comparison! Wonder if any of the three winners, say Rain-X, can be used on glass shower doors?

    "Where Speed Meets Art" show at Exhibition Place

    Anyone going? From the blurb on the web site, it appears to be more than just a run-of-the-mill motorcycle show. "From bikes pushing the edge of modern design to vintage board trackers and everything in between" and "It's a celebration of the motorcycle lifestyle " WHEN: June 7 - June 9 WHERE...

    Hearing loss

    Most (quality) HAs can be tuned to reduce the feedback. With the Signia there is next to none. However, wind-noise is something else. None of the HAs that I have tried, could tune that out. Reduce it yes, but it is still there.

    The first $100 oil change.

    Liquimoly has two products that they claim will clean flush the motor (at around $25 perbottle), Crappy Tire has a like product "Kleenflo" at around $10. You may wish to try those (I had, and the old oil flows out easier and yes, the motor ran without missing a beat when I later filled in fresh...

    Am not condoning any wrong-doing, this extract from an article by Matthew T. Martens [an eminent US based trial lawyer, ex-Federal Prosecutor, ex-Defense Attorney] is food for thought. The conundrum of wrongful conviction has stalked mankind from the earliest of ages. Irenaeus of Lyon (AD c...

    Hearing loss

    Finding a good Audiologist and getting HAs to match your need is a " journey". Mine took five years, four audiologists and every name-brand instrument on the market before finding something that worked. What I use now is an improvement on hearing but am not able to find something that matches...

    Kijiji scammer alert

    Recently at a gas station (Petro-Can at Erin Mills/ Batleford) was approached by two women driving an older van, wanting to dispose of jewellery. The two were multi-lingual and atempted to pick up a conversation while I was filling gas. Of course they were not to know that I had previously been...

    It is the ear wax that clogs the HAs and am not sure if UV will evaporate that residue. As far as I know (and thats not much!) removal of that necessitates pbysical cleaning and/ or replacement of the ear buds. As for moisture, aren't HAs IP68 certified? Whatever works best for you.

    His math and committment to keeping his word is doubtful

    Agree with GG's comment. Better than UV exposure (unproven) is to follow the physical cleaning which the audiologist should have explained how to. Most, provide a cleaning kit and replacement ear inserts.

    So....election in 2024!?

    Back on the topic of elections, tho' this one in a different country. Indian authorities say about 969 million people have registered to vote in the 44-day general election, creating a massive electorate of about 12 per cent of the global population for the biggest election in history. Once upon...

    Hearing loss

    I liked the Phonak for it's ability of speech and hearing with phone calls. The Signia works with only the hearing part of phone calls, however it came out on top with it's auditory capability - a greater number of sampling/tuning channels, six different manual programs if I wanted to overide...

    Private sale and test rides

    One possible approach is to allow him to inspect the bike and both agree on a price, then complete the transaction with a bank draft for you and a letter of sale for him. An option would be for you to wait at TH while he goes to a bank to get the draft. After that, visit Service Ontario to...

    Hearing loss

    Caveat: hearing loss and hearing aid preferences are strictly individual choice. I had tried the Oticon and Phonak before settling on the Signia. The Signia is not as BT capable, but for me it's hearing restoration was superior. The newly extended hearing range did initially cause sensory...

    Front brakes are sticky

    Could it be due to the over-torquing of the axle nuts?

    Motorcycle seat

    http://www.uniquetrim.com/ (He was the former Service Manager at a now-closed motorcycle dealership) I have used Potzy and Uniquetrim. For me the seat by Uniquetrim was better (edit: more comfortable)- but then each one's butt is unique! In terms of cost, not much difference between both...

    Hearing loss

    "When you say fitting ....are you referring to software tweaking or sound contouring to patch the deficits?" ... It is both. All depends on the individual hearing deficit and whatever device works best, is the best!

    Hearing loss

    $500 per device in Ontario regardless of age. IMO the adage "You get what you pay for" applies here. The "cheap" are basically audio amplification devices. The $$$ have more channels to sample the auditory input, custom programs to attune to the environment (concert hall, meeting room etc)...
