    Old man with a hose

    Is this a variant of gravel spread in corners?

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    As stated, what was the motorcyclist's intent? "Touched his shoulder to avoid a collision." Why did he get so close that it was necessary? He could have taken the other track. Push steer is amazing in these situations. Didn't see but what about his pals riding behind him. Any moral thoughts.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I'm waiting for his "Upon review..." speech or will it be a "Due to the tariff situation..."speech.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    CP is in a somewhat different position than a factory. Wally at Widgets Inc is expected to make 100 widgets a day because that's how many they sell on average, over a year. On a slow sales week the excess goes into the warehouse to be on hand when sales boom. Peter the Postie letter carrier...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    Where does she live? A lot of downtown workers live in the burbs. Job security and seniority. When my wife was working near Burnhamthorpe and 427 a coworker came via public transit from near Scarborough Town Centre. Then the company moved to near Erin Mills and the QEW. Longer commute and Go...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    EV performance is great. So taxpayers pay to subsidize expensive high-performance vehicles being purchased by the wealthier set. All while the government throws billions on not-yet-fully-developed technologies dependent on foreign sources. To the buyers: Some of the free courtesy charge points...

    Ramara Monck Rd near 25 GWSx2

    Kudos to people that look at what they have instead of weeping over what they've lost.

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    Go back to my previous post. People with high incomes setting the rules for those making less than half the amount. Those in the upper crust don't have housing problems, they drive company cars, dine on expense accounts and get lavish perks. Civil servant underlings don't bite the hands that...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I notice the shingles in the lower picture protrude further over the edge. My problem.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I don't mind doing the lower eaves on our side split, but the upper ones test my courage. It's about a 16 foot drop to hard stuff. Making it worse, when they installed the new shingles they let the lower edges of the shingle protrude too far over the edge, blocking half of the eaves trough. I...

    I hope the free part doesn't include US boats.

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    What does one expect when people making from $170,000 to $230,000 per year are telling people with average incomes of ~$60,000 a year, what to do with their money. In Holland they do blah, blah, blah so let's copy them. Problem #1 is that Toronto never had a cycling culture and infrastructure...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    That's about the only thing Chow has done right. In essence, we're paying back taxes with interest. Taxes should go up with city inflation rate, whatever that is. They don't buy a lot of groceries, but staffing, utilities, and infrastructure add up.

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    That is the problem. Development fees should have been banked to pay for infrastructure, immediate and future. Instead, they bought beer with grocery money and cried "Poor"

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    The saturation point is like putting a 13th egg in a carton and closing the lid. However the area I watch the most the percentage of cyclists to cars is more like 0.5% and that is for less than half the time so more like 0.25% change in numbers. Decent drivers would have a greater effect. I...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    How many of the above are driven by economics? A 2-1/2 story renovated house in little Italy is $1.9M. Everything looks nice until you see the basement and realize the place is over 100 years old with a low ceiling. The hidden block foundation may be crumbling (How much is underpinning and a...

    Couldn't get a boost to save my life

    I wonder if CAA ever got a call to boost a Tesla. You don’t need a P Eng to buy one

    Couldn't get a boost to save my life

    CAA privileges go with the policy holder. If conditions were right I’d have no problem with calling CAA and having them do the boost. Time is a factor if the wait is going to be hours.

    Is it just me?

    I was very impressed with the "65" label, just like the NASCAR label on my welder. SF
