    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    IIRC they put in speed bumps along the Bridal Path to slow down the drives cutting across from Leslie to Bayview. Ambulances have to either go slow or take an alternate slower route to the Sunnybrook Trauma unit. Patients with spinal injuries don't like getting air at speed bumps.

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

    Why store and pay for a snow blower all year when you only need it for three months and you get a new one next season? I think HD stopped that when they saw their parking lot full of heavily discounted blowers in the spring. I've seen a couple of vendors with signs or verbal statements "No...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    It can't be soon enough IMO. The speed, mass and limited control makes it dangerous for other trail users. No insurance or registration ices the cake.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    I got out for a few miles of trail yesterday and almost got hit by a trio of powered unicycles in a "No Motorized Vehicles" Trail. They weren't going slow. The Vespa look alike E Scooters seem to be fading out and replaced by various bicycle looking models. Hard to tell at a glance what they...

    Boat Rentals

    I like a hot shower in the morning. With house trailers they start at about 28 feet.

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

    Big box stores have so much clout with their suppliers that full credits are applied to blatantly abused purchases. A pump company I dealt with said the best thing that happened to them was losing a big box account. "Defective" pumps would be returned full of sand and the thin margins on volume...

    The other day the returns line up was out the door and around the corner. BTW the $1.50 hot dog now comes with Coke drinks. Bye bye Pepsi.

    Re the Ring vs Nest camera, Amazon has pet and nanny cameras starting at $40. Any issues. Some even dispense doggy treats.

    Grimsby-SimplyMoto and Beyond

    Most of it is pleasant country stuff with some nice little towns. The highlights are roads that take you from the top of the escarpment to the bottom and vice versa.

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    When I bought a 10 YO Goldwing I flushed the brake hydraulics and the old stuff didn't look that bad. Then it struck me that the clutch was hydraulic and I flushed it as well. The old stuff looked like lumpy gravy.

    If you have old pushbutton code devices, check to see if the wear pattern gives a strong hint as to the code.

    9½ Reasons Motorcycle Shops Are Closing That Have Nothing To Do With Sales

    Try auto body where work-in-progress can fill a parking space for a month awaiting approvals and parts. A friend had a repair shop with a bearable lease but the place got sold and a clause in the lease was a new owner could raise the rent. It happened and he moved. Then it happened again...

    9½ Reasons Motorcycle Shops Are Closing That Have Nothing To Do With Sales

    The emboldened "you" is the taxpayer. Middle income, struggling with a mortgage is being asked to bail out others while losing productivity at work.

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

    My wife went out the patio door to the backyard, removing the security stick that usually sits on the track and leaning it against the jamb, going out and sliding the door shut. Our daughter's very active pup is clawing the door because it wants out too and knocks the stick back down, locking my...

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

    I'm getting tired of answering the doorbell every time someone wants to sell me something so was looking at a camera doorbell to link to my Iphone. Do I go Ring or Nest? I may add security cameras in the future. Comments? Right now I just want to look at my cell to see who it is and communicate.

    Recommend good Hyundai dealer service

    I have a little bug with our 2018 Sante Fe and the dealer I use has a head in the sand attitude. Can anyone recommend a dealer. I'm west Toronto and don't mind a drive.

    Riding an e-scooter in Toronto?

    Sitting in traffic I had a revelation about E-everythings with no enforcement. It's Black Market transportation. 1) Politicians for decades have screwed up public transit and vehicular traffic. 2) Mixing drugs with booze, the current crop if polidiots added bike lanes to make it worse for...
