My wifes family is from Twilingate NF. Most did their best to shed the accent and most of the behaviour . Three rums in you'd need a local translator. My wifes grandfather owned a chandlery ( boat supplies) and engine shop , by the end of WW2 he owned most of the local fishing fleet through...

Sport is really where the “integration “ shows up . We ran a program this summer on behalf of the SeaScouts and Cadets in Oakville. Ninety five percent were non white kids . Regular enrollment was eighty percent white kids . My help at football camp ( soccer ) was a complete smorgasbord of kids...

current build cost for a monohull IMOCA 60 foiler is about 9million euros, and there are 11 new ones in construction. Demand excceds capacity to build . I wont dispute the trickle down technology, we have two foiling boats sitting at my club (one WASP and one Moth ) , and Canada has a foiling...

Thailand , Nicaragua, Panama , Costa Rica , key west . Pick any spot that’s warm and tropical and you’ll find middle aged divorced dudes and metric ton of gals waiting to separate them from what cash they have left . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Always start at the top and work south , you won’t see fill in at the floor , you will see them where the eye is drawn @scuba , don’t do it until you can get the Rona contractor desk to tell you where you could see a house that’s been done. They look horrible in person , in my opinion. Sent...

America Cup has lost the plot , it’s beyond millionaires budgets to compete, the boats have no relevance to anything another sailor may sail and as a spectator, you see nothing on the water . The “deed of gift” ( the rules) get rewritten every time somebody gets control of the cup (...

The owls often don’t know you built it for them . You may get anything that likes box houses in there Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

My dad was relentless on oil changes and grease jobs and just cleaning up equipment. Every piece of equipment had a timetable. His thing was service is cheap , repairs are expensive. Also being a farmer having a machine down when you only need it for a week was pretty hard to work around . You...

If they don’t figure out how to stop the catastrophic failures I can’t see this being sustainable. Another complete mast / wing collapse , the foils flying off the French boat like a three foot machete . And then the T bone which chopped the hole in GBs boat . It’s very expensive carnage Sent...

If you park at McDonalds and a shotgun is locked in your truck , acccording to the law as written , it is securely stored. Now how an Officer interprets that law is another thing. Funny if you look at the hundred cars/trucks parked at a gun club vs. cars and trucks at Bass Pro Shop. Gun club...

The epitaph onn my tombstone will not say , "pete wishes he sold one more skid of lumber "

My fear isn’t guns being stolen or miss used , mine would be an officer investigating a break in while I’m not here and coming up with some silly storage charge for gun powder sitting on a work bench in a locked room and defending a firearms/ explosives charge . Putting my Nexus renewal or...

I have NO issue paying people for work done . Show up when you say , or call. Do the job like you have to use it or look at it for years . Then do leave too much mess . If Sparky tells me he’s XX an hour that’s fine , nobody should work for free. But please don’t blow a [emoji639]” hole in a...

I don’t care it would have no fire rating , but it could be as big as I want in to fit the...
