    Air Canada

    AC has a very weird record of how they manage things . Broke then buy Nordair , then sell it off , bought some local carrier that did Ontario flights . Gets a federal bailout . Buys Canadian Airways , restructure everything , fire the director of maintenance that did compliance paperwork , he...

    Covid Vacs

    Timber framed buildings ironically will out last a steel framed building in most fires . The former Rona building in Milton ( formerly a Castle building center) now a ReStore is timber framed , when I worked there and we built it , sixteen x sixteen - twenty four ft fir timbers . Lots of them ...

    FWIW , my go to for thirty yrs was AC because that’s how you got around , our last few long hauls have been with Air France out of YYZ , and what a pleasant surprise, the food was really good , snacks were good , wine was nice. I have a few flights with them , so far so good . Sent from my...

    Air Canada

    Nope sorry OPT at YYZ means best of the worst . TO to Hawaii, canceled , reroute 8 hrs later through SanFran. TO to Alaska , canceled , reroute from Van to Seattle then carrier change , which mean luggage shows THREE days later . Don’t get me wrong , they all have operational challenges , but I...

    Air Canada

    I don’t care how one pursues thier own life interests. It’s not my place to judge or be offended or to be overtly supportive because I think people can be who they are. I have a personal connection to this , my son is gay . I don’t introduce him as ‘my gay son’ nor does he follow any...

    Inverters !

    I’ll try the coffee machine with the current inverter and see the result . Failing that I’ve found a Renology inverter / charger with pure sign wave for five hundred eighty nine , add two hundred amp Lithium batteries and I’m at a little over a grand and I can run a barista service with that...

    Inverters !

    Ive been trying to use stuff we already own , mini nesspresso, 1000w inverter and a lead acid battery . But the nesspresso wants 1200W , and I could get a 600/800w mini microwave for free which allows my xantrex 1000w to work. Hot water in a micro and instant coffee would get the job done. We do...

    25'th Anniversary....and no plans. :(

    Banff is zero AirBnb, locked out. Canmore is still ok with Abnb and VRBO , so far . Kids stay there every winterand drive into Lake Louise/ Sunshine for skiing . Even mediocre hotels in Banff have gotten spendy and now that Jasper is cooked , litterally , prices are on the moon.

    Boat Rentals

    Now that a new Doral [emoji639][emoji640] is three hundred K plus , it is propping up prices on used . We looked last week ( not too seriously ) at a Grady White cuddy cabin mini cruiser . It was pretty clean but the small stuff needed ( canvas) and electronics would add ten to twelve Gs , which...

    Inverters !

    My single serve nespresso machine claims twelve hundred watts on the label , that and charging cell phones are all I need AC power for , and i could get around the phones . To upgrade the onboard charger to three battery capacity and then add a lithium battery is getting spendy . All fun stuff...

    Inverters !

    I would need fire (which I hate on board) or power an induction stove , which all research indictes eats a ton of juice. The Nesspresso mini is my go to when travelling. Aluminum pods dont get damp and last months in the heat. Wifey can have flavoured crap without contaminating real coffee and...

    Inverters !

    Thank you , that pretty much sums up what I suspected. I understand anything that produces heat ( nespresso machine) eats battery . The battery bank will unfortunately be lead acid , I have an onboard charger but it’s too old to manage lithium batteries . This thing will charge a couple phones...

    Inverters !

    I think we had this discussion before and I know we have some RV ers here . I need to add an inverter , a gen set makes no sense in my boat project . I need to power twelve hundred watts once a day for twenty mins ( coffee machine) . So I guess that means a two thousand watts inverter. My second...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    MNR officers are often sportsmen them selves and certainly know lots of shooters . The OPP office of your outside the GTA can also be helpful . They are both very happy to have you shooting in a safe manner in a safe place because they don’t want to have to talk to you later about being in a...
