    Daily sports car?

    This year's driveway. Getting the KTM out shortly as the roads are less sandy here now, new heated comfort seat on it this year.

    Weather

    Rain, snow and hail here in the last hour. Waiting on frogs, locusts and brimstone.

    TV shows currently watching

    Yep, that's the episode she noped out on. I watched the rest of that episode because I'm stubborn but at that point you know the last episode is going to be consequences.

    I found this interesting and disturbing, but the wife couldn't sit for it once things got really heated.

    Wawanesa cut ties with NFP

    Screw Wawanesa. They first dropped my 911 and then after a year they dropped my Super Duke. The car because "it has too much power" and the bike because "the engine is too large." Oh, and that's with no current speeding tickets on record or any loss of points. I was under the impression that...

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    Mark Twain warned us about politicians a long time ago. Once in office, they just help themselves to your money.

    Eating out

    I mean, for me if I'm at anything but fine dining, I'm expecting to pay $16-21 for a modest meal - something like a specialty burger and fries. And I'm expecting to pay under $10 for a true pint of beer to go with it. And basically if the bill comes to under $40 with tip I'm probably not...

    Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

    Dead opposite here. Everyone in the house had their first two shots. Two weeks after the first one, I got the Coov, then again every couple of months for most of the following year. Just a few days for most of them. In all, I've had Covid 5 times and the first four times were with the...

    Eating out

    Maybe. This got a genuine laugh out of me... haha This is why I'm buying top sirloin, Picanha whenever I get a chance. Relatively inexpensive and done right, tastes great. I like rib steaks much more, but not at twice the price. I like reverse sear, 20 mins @ 275 and then sear on cast iron...

    Eating out

    I had a caesar wrap with fries and two 8-oz beers at my gig on Friday night. Cost me $48 with tip. Every time I eat out now, I find myself thinking that I'm being an idiot. Good thing the wife and I have really stepped up our game in the kitchen after Covid. I've got a top sirloin steak, a...

    Heck, I take 5000.

    Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

    Seasonal affective disorder. Really common in the colder climes. Mine also goes away when I'm in a warmer clime.

    Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

    I've had what the KGH calls "the 100 day cough" and on week 7 now. It's nowhere near as bad as the first two weeks, but I'm still coughing up a cheesesteak hoagie at least twice a day.

    I would likely to highly recommend a book

    Vass Bednar gave a fantastic presentation at our (CanWISP) conference last week in Gatineau and I can't recommend this book enough even though I have some political disagreements with it. It's just impressive. The Big Fix - Denise Hearn & Vass Bednar

    What are you reading?

    I was a kid with extended Smith's Falls family in the Choice; they let us hang around and no harm would ever come to us or there'd be war. And I was there as a kid in Prince Edward County when they went to Mercer's house in limousines and signed over their patches to the Hell's Angels (not sure...

    Excellent book and a reference for years, perhaps.

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    I watched Nosferatu the other day. I liked the extreme creepiness and relative simplicity of it, but it still doesn't "beat" Coppola's Dracula. The idea of an ugly, disgusting vampire does probably fit better with the original concept of them. And man, the story about the original movie and...

    Fuller story behind KTMs troubles

    Yeah, I really wanted the tech pack for my 1290R after the first 850km of riding (then straight to Deal's Gap). I just like having a quickshifter and having tried the bike without any traction control, I can tell you that it needs some. A super duke will spin that tire everywhere if you're on...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    The Gorge was watchable. Katherine and I felt it was a "turn your brain off and just watch" kind of movie for the most part. It felt like a 90s movie to me, if that makes any sense. Now, Section 31, both of us noped out on it about 15 minutes in. K is a major ST fan and we suffered through...
