    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    If they had the make and model it narrows the search. If they can trace the FB source and get an IP address. If the addressee cooperates. Too many "Ifs". It will take a lot of hours on a chancy case.

    The Whitestone Principle: It is better that ten innocents die at the hands of criminals than one innocent spend a few years in prison before being exonerated, getting millions in compensation.

    Boat Rentals

    Price comparisons are extremely subjective if we're talking about used. Age is a big factor. When you say RV I'm picturing a trailer / caravan rather than a motorhome. In the case of the latter, there's a reason 20+ year old ones are all over the place at a few percent of replacement value...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Well, my "Haven't pulled a trigger for 50+ years" record has come to an end with a bang. A late Father's Day present from my daughter had me firing the four-inch deck gun on the HMCS Haida in Hamilton Harbour. Thanks to it being a low charge blank, the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club...

    Any machinists in the house?

    How many cuts do you have to make in the 16" bar? You can get a straighter cut if you tighten pipe clamps around the bar as guides. To accurately drill a centre hole for the dead end of the lathe, the end being drilled should be near the chuck. If the lathe is small the bulk of the 16" bar...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Get over it. The politicians have taken a play out of the Nazi handbook but instead of Jews being the cause of all evil it's cars. You can't persecute them enough, Tax their tires Tax their fuels Tax their sales To hell with rules

    Would it be considered a deportation or prisoner swap? As far as the five-time DUI guy goes: “We are committed to holding dangerous drivers, such as Mr. Kasiram, accountable for their actions,” Deputy Chief Marc Andrews said in a release on Thursday. “Repeat offenders must face consequences...

    Mortgage rates

    Everyone's CPI is different. A person living downtown with a small mortgage largely avoids the interest rate potion. If they don't own vehicles there's another part of the CPI affected. Compared to suburbanite with large heavily mortgaged house and two cars the townie is way ahead.

    Boat Rentals

    I knew a couple that lived aboard an ocean going 35 footer in Port Credit. Ocean going meant small ports so gloomy. Built in storage for voyage provisions made it more cramped than a lake boat. He was retired and wore blue jeans and tee shirts most of the time. She worked and needed a bigger...

    Th early end of that chart doesn't reflect the instability in pricing today. It can be so erratic that you don't remember what you paid for a product last week. You think WTH and tap your card.

    Mortgage rates

    The old story: You're debt free until 20, living at home. In your 20's you build debt as you establish your career and home. You pay off your debt in your 30's and from 40 on, build your wealth. Once upon a time there was a girl named Goldilocks....

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    Does the $100,000 value cover replacement? I fixed a bunch of copper heating cables after some deadbeats ripped down the copper eaves troughs of a church. They may have netted a thousand dollars. My bill was $13,000. The electrician's was more and the coppersmith's was out of sight. Probably a...
