The drones are a fantastic idea , the coast guard are using them on Lake Ontario for search and rescue . Our local police ( Halton) just got a couple and are training four “pilots” to use for looking for things like bush parties . The officers can see what they are walking into . Operating...

It does not include US boats , cdn reg pass freely but if three boats are in the Murray canal and the bridge swings , well , drive on . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Initial mileage tests are thirty four gal per hour at WOT . She’ll go to the Rideau on the trailer behind the diesel Suburban . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I’ve heard the Rideau is the most scenic and has a lot of history to see . That appeals to me . Pottering along at six miles an hour will make it feel like my sailboat …. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Lewmar makes a low profile vertical instead of horizontal ( side ways not over top ) winch. Gypsy is a combo chain / three strand . We will pop in a hole for a Howser line and build a fiberglass box inside the pointy bow which is waste space anyway . As long as calibrated metric chain is used...

That was our exact thoughts , we will run the original Merc till it’s done , if we still own it a Yanmar will go in . Eighty five hp turbo deisel will run forever going forward . Boat was just under thirty k so lots of room to improve things . Anchor windlass is first on the list , lewmar makes...

Meanwhile I may have bought half a Limestone [emoji638][emoji640] ( the built by Hinterholler version) to do the Trent/severn and Rideau . I’m a very slow learner . At least the guy I’m partnering with is flush with cash and treats things better than most . Sent from my iPhone using...

Auto pilot fixed , new remote mic ordered, new handheld VHF under consideration. Bbq cleaned and working . Now to sort out the asymmetrical spinnaker which needs more projection out front and why the spin pole car seems to be jamming . I’d guess another grand and it’s all back in business ...

So in my two week trip to the thousands islands , autopilot crapped out on day three , VHF remote mic stopped working, primary was fine , VHF handheld quit . Suzuki dingy motor got oil in the carb ( you have to turn it sideways when you tilt it) and didn’t start for a day . Bbq that has not been...

That just sucks , I’m sorry for your loss . I’m at the point where I don’t trust anyone I just met , and I have been working with sketchy people most of my life . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Go to Princess Auto and buy what they call a mushroom anchor . Fits in most seadoo lockers and won’t poke a hole in the seadoo bouncing around like a danforth or Bruce style . If you don’t mind the extra weight buy ten ft of quarter in chain to go with it . Chain has more holding power than the...

I’d forgotten about the gerbil story lol. Wonder who clipped its little toenails ? Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

The asphalt grade used in residential is not the grade used on the highways . Sealing will keep it longer and fixing cracks keeps the water from making frost heaves . We do it every two yrs and the guy we hire is cheaper than I could buy the crap from CTC. I like shiney black but yes , it is...

Sorry , your tagging the Indian legal system ? Good grief , guy shags a goat and they stone the goat for being a seductress . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

The nursing shortage was not just the Liberals ( but they didn’t help) , the move to educate further and need a uni degree became a barrier to entry . Colleges like Sheridan and Humber did a fine job of weeding out kids in the first semester, they knew in three months who would finish the...

Ontario buggered this forty yrs ago when I was in high school, the channeling system where you were in a four yr or five yr program and the dumdums where in a “tech wing” . You had the smokers hall , machine shop,metal fab, auto and it’s where most dummies got sent . The clever lads were...

Russia has said the lad playing there was welcome back if found not guilty . No clue what the others do , since not guilty is NOT guilty , the NHL should take them back . Optics and the moral/ethic code may hinder that . I’d hire the Greenspan family and nail Hockey Canada to a wall . Every...

It would be an interesting case study using Tim Hortons , while each store is an independent owned franchise they all subscribe to a central accounting payroll office. However if you have a dozen cash workers , it would go a long way to your bottom line paying no benefits , workers comp or...

I’m not sure one hundred percent how I feel about this one . I’m pleased the correct verdict is as achieved. Would eighteen yr old me have been in a hotel getting a BJ coming off a world victory? Probably yes , would the me now have been there ? Heck no. Like in formula one , these young men...

Just watched them pull this beauty up over the rocks in Whitby . Don’t drink and boat kids ! Sent from my iPhone using...
