Watched Wolfs last night. Plays to the fanboys of Pitt and Clooney well enough. Not a masterpiece by any stretch but, with low expectations it fit the bill. Just had the potential to be so much better.

Thanks Mike. A small update. We had a chat and they shared some positive feedback with their physical health from walking and riding a bicycle. They can shower without using their chair. After years of shuffling back and forth from their room to go outside to smoke, they are getting more...

Thanks for the positive thoughts folks. I’m always a bit reluctant to share stuff like that but, it was actually helpful to post and get it off my mind. Checking back in was reassuring. Some days are better than others but, still working with the kid to try and work towards finding their...

Owned one back in the day. ‘ 91 with moon roof and auto. Red with black leather interior. Great highway cruiser. Bought it because a BIL had one with a 5spd (silver exterior) and had a hoot with it. Immediately went looking for one myself. Could only find an automatic and the ex couldn’t...

Ain’t gonna lie, this time of year is a tough one. I’ve got a messed up adult kid that showed up worse for wear and they need more help than I can provide and it’s testing everyone’s nerves to the max. Kid has drug and mental issues. They are 22 and don’t have any life skills and collecting...

Was in Canmore AB last week and my wife spotted and took a pic.

Not a subscriber to specifically New Year resolutions. But, it does remind me of some things I should change and make some adjustments. I don’t begin them on the 1st of the year. I just do it and stick with it. The gang at work several years ago all decided to quit smoking. I stopped the day...

I suspect a lot of used machines with after market mods like plate relocating, mud guard delete, flush mount side indicators, bar end mirrors and the like will be expensive to retrofit for the pass. Off road use only slip on mufflers won’t make the cut either. Gonna be a boon for eBay stock...

I want a garage for bikes and cars like Leno. My budget doesn't allow this. I live by marketplace and Kijiji. My wife has a rule with the British Car Club members we belong to, you can’t sell a car to me. lol. Anyways, bikes and cars, I can’t help but fall in love with the next thing. Im...

Like anything, there are amazing works of art and a ton a crap. I’ve got family with awesome ink and others that hate it. For those that hate it, they mention how it will look like crap when you’re old. Well, who cares?! When you are 70 plus, a blotchy tattoo isn’t going to make you look...

A divorce with 3 children knocked my equity/savings back to zero so, started over slowly. As you get older, the material things seem to have less significance. Travel and toys are the focus and we make it work for us. Always socked away dollars for pension and education funds for the kids...

Started on motorized 2 wheels on dirt in BC along trails late teens/20s. Lusted for street bike since I was old enough to sit on a bike. Family and friends all rode something. The 70s and 80s, anything on two wheels was a marvel to me. Cruisers, dirt, street, super sport. Maybe not so much a...

I wish they would simply enforce the size allowance for carry on prior to boarding. I know the gate personal deal with a lot of cranky travellers but, it’s also part of the job. I have a standard carry on bag and laptop bag. It’s not clear if I book economy comfort if I can still bring...

Why are we even looking at these one time temporary solutions? Once the money is spent or the break is over, reality sets in. This reeks of desperation from both feds and provincial governments. Let’s get back to policies that work as they should to improve affordability and improve the...

I’m not sure how the system works but, if a picture of a given check point isn’t up to snuff, it can be rejected and the shop needs to resubmit. It’s not immediate and rejects can happen well after the fact. 🤷‍♂️.

Talking to a couple of small independent shop operators and the new government process to safety a motorcycle goes into effect January 2025. Equipment expense aside, the work involved for the tech/mechanic to follow is going to drive up costs. Will that make that “cheap” used bike less...

Mazda seems to limit space for those of a taller stature. Otherwise they can be appealing. Spending other peoples money, utility, space, safety, reliability and fuel efficiency, RAV4 hybrid. Maybe a pipe dream to find new or used at the 40k budget. Other choices comprise something. Having...

The last few weeks have been heavy work wise and once the beemer was in possession, wanted to get it certified before the new government process was in place. To trailer or ride? Weather conditions vs conference calls and working with a shop owned by a semi retired owner that can take or leave...

Friend of mind has an 2018 F type ragtop awd triple black and it’s a hoot! I didn’t miss having a manual one bit. The ONLY draw back I found was limited storage for a weekend getaway. Wife and I debating. The coupe solves this but, the wife wants a drop top. Just need more time to...

I’m not sure why any rider would default to one way to apply their brakes all the time. I’ve ridden different styles of machines over different surfaces and different conditions. Poor traction, poor weather, different surfaces, 2up etc. You need to know how to use both and when one is...
