    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I was cleaning up the office and came across a Lithium power pack that hasn't been used in years and I noticed it was starting to swell. I put it out on the concrete patio until it makes its way to hazardous waste. Where is mill run accountability on the battery market? Tesla doesn't seem to...

    Coyotes

    A neighbour commented about not seeing the critters around the stream for a while. I haven't seen any either so maybe they've eaten all the pets and slow racoons and moved on.

    Hey, I didn't even get out of bed. It was a good morning stretch that took a week to heal.

    Just exactly what do you recommend letting go of? Clutch lever, throttle, handlebars, brakes?

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I knew a delightful older lady that related a story from her youth. In the 1920's an elderly couple was finding it troublesome hitching up their horse to the buggy so decided to buy a car. Not knowing how to drive they hired a man to chauffeur them around. They had trouble finding a suitable...

    Casting Kindergarten

    More playing around. I’m still having problems with thin sections but I managed to cast a spare key for the cage. It’s ugly but works.

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    The Amish practice shunning when members go against the grain. Peer pressure can be a good deterrent but the bar has been set so low by politicians and those in power that it hardly matters.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    It's a wood window with beautiful details. Women and windows, the curves make the work worthwhile. Yeah, I'm a sexist pig.

    I would like to see what supposedly primitive tribes in remote jungles do with unproductive members of the tribe. Maybe we could learn a thing or two.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I built and installed two new gates to replace the sagging ones. I just have to apply some end-cut sealant. Mine's the curvaceous one. The next major project is replacing the cedar hedge across the back of the property. A discussion with the neighbour on the other side has opened up some...

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    The filter that came with it was very effective. The Milwaukee blows a teak of sawdust ten feet straight out the back with no capture options. I made a 90 degree adapter that keeps the sawdust closer to the saw or can be fired into a pail.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That's a Toronto thing going back to the great fire of over a century ago. I don't know if other municipalities followed suit.

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    A friend dropped by yesterday to show off his new battery powered table saw. Comparing my Milwaukee to his Festool is like comparing a Chevy pickup to a BMW. For three times the price of my Milwaukee he gets motorized digital blade height and angle. It packs down into a svelte plastic box a bit...
