    Signs or common sense?

    Sugarloaf Marina, in Port Colborne (on Lake Erie) - has TONS of goldfish, some as big as 18" or so... and goldfish will eat basically anything, so they thrive in any environment. People are dumb...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    They formally charged the driver yesterday - 3x the legal limit; a cooler bag full of beer in the back seat and a plastic bag of empties beside it... Truck's been seized for 7 days, 90 day suspension for the driver, and the MTO is 'reviewing' the company CVOR status. Whoops.

    Battery check device

    My business is batteries... (Seriously, I sell and service batteries) Lithium packs are made up of smaller cells in series to build up to the desired voltage; and in parallel to build up the required current - with an intelligent BCM to manage charge/discharge. There are few 'critical path'...

    Signs or common sense?

    The road's been closed for months; and the signage was very visible... The kids didn't miss the signs, they unfortunately ignored them; and paid the price. Word is they were headed to the casino at Georgian downs, and either blindly followed the GPS or (more likely, IMO) took a shortcut...

    Hey bolt whisperers

    Brafasco/Fastening House will 100% have it - but they often have minimum quantity purchases (usually by the package). I had to get a specific reverse thread nut a while back - I needed 12 of them; they had exactly what I needed, but it was a 100 count package... So I have 88 on the shelf at...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Mike was, and probably still is, an immense *******... like he'd be sitting in the living room, and yell at his wife to come from the kitchen and hand him the TV remote; rather then lean over from where he was sitting to grab it, kind of *******. (Seriously, I saw it happen...) He also had to...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... An ex family member (ex-wife's uncle) retired from HydroOne; bought a mack-daddy F450 and probably the nicest slide-in I've ever seen - he was kissing 200k and this was about 5 years ago. Hell, with my old setup (F350 diesel & 28' bumper pull) - I...

    Cable Deck Railings - Any suggestions?

    Keep in mind, that specific municipalities may have additional bylaw/building code requirements.. I used to build decks and fences on the side for beer money. Basic building codes applied everywhere, but one township had a deck collapse and hurt a bunch of people a few years prior; so they...

    My lot just grew 10 feet wider

    It's not squatters rights you need to look into; it's "adverse possession" - and you'll need a lawyer and a surveyor PDQ. Adverse possession can attach in as little as 10 years; depending on a few other conditions - so time may be of the essence here.

    Queen Elizabeth II :/

    Should, but won't... Charles has spent 70ish years waiting for his chance to be in the big-boy chair - he won't abdicate it; and that's a shame, as replacing 98 year old with a 73 year old will do nothing to bring excitement or energy or relevance back to the Monarchy.

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    Zero surprise here, MM - same type of riders run the QEW between Hamilton and Niagara pretty regularly - splitting and taking the shoulders - on SS, full leathers head to toe, full face bucket with a blacked out visor... A close second are the guys that use the space between the HOV and...

    How do we fix the traffic lunacy

    NOTL is one kind of headache - Clifton Hill (in the Falls) is a different kind - people will dead-ass stare you in the eye as they step infront of you... I had one guy step out between two parked cars, and slap the SIDE of my truck (because, I was already partway past him before he appeared)...

    How do we fix the traffic lunacy

    I used to work at a building just west of Union station... there was an alley between the building and the skywalk that lead to my building's parking entrance - when the trains were dumping, the lemmings were completely oblivious; just strolling down the middle of the roadway. I was in a 1t...

    LSM plates are white on green, vs blue on white for MC plates - it was an MC plate (or an attempt at one, anyways)

    The Bad Riders of Ontario Thread

    Was driving on the QEW the other day (Burlington area) - Scooter in the slow lane, doing 30 under the limit; full on Dumb & Dumber style... Had an MC plate on it, but didn't look right, and no way it was bigger then 50cc, based on the size of it. I wanted to get a pic, but couldn't in time...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    I've been camping for most of my life... tents, tent trailers, and travel trailers. Some thoughts, in no particular order: - The towing limits of the Odyssey will tie your hands greatly - not just the weight, but also surface area of the trailer... Cross-winds & head winds won't be kind to...

    Didn't ride this year...

    You're not alone in not riding much this season... For a few reasons (mostly health related - I have some heart issues that have been kicking my ass a little more then usual) - I've put maybe 250km on this year; and questioned if the ongoing costs (insurance & maintenance) are worth it. I...

    Motorcycle plated under incorporated business?

    A corporation is a legal entity; so there's no reason why the bike couldn't be owned by the business... now as has been mentioned up thread; insurance may be a different animal. All my company vehicles are owned by the corporation - all the drivers (or potential drivers) are on file with my...

    What Comm System?

    Sena 20S here - partly because my HJC lid was pre-configured for the Sena system; and mostly because since I ride solo most of the time, compatibility wasn't an issue. Pairs fine with the BMW Nav VI, and with my phone... I get voice prompts, listen to music, and can receive phone calls no...
