I don't mind doing the lower eaves on our side split, but the upper ones test my courage. It's about a 16 foot drop to hard stuff. Making it worse, when they installed the new shingles they let the lower edges of the shingle protrude too far over the edge, blocking half of the eaves trough. I...

I hope the free part doesn't include US boats.

What does one expect when people making from $170,000 to $230,000 per year are telling people with average incomes of ~$60,000 a year, what to do with their money. In Holland they do blah, blah, blah so let's copy them. Problem #1 is that Toronto never had a cycling culture and infrastructure...

Heart breaking. GWS

That's about the only thing Chow has done right. In essence, we're paying back taxes with interest. Taxes should go up with city inflation rate, whatever that is. They don't buy a lot of groceries, but staffing, utilities, and infrastructure add up.

That is the problem. Development fees should have been banked to pay for infrastructure, immediate and future. Instead, they bought beer with grocery money and cried "Poor"

The saturation point is like putting a 13th egg in a carton and closing the lid. However the area I watch the most the percentage of cyclists to cars is more like 0.5% and that is for less than half the time so more like 0.25% change in numbers. Decent drivers would have a greater effect. I...

How many of the above are driven by economics? A 2-1/2 story renovated house in little Italy is $1.9M. Everything looks nice until you see the basement and realize the place is over 100 years old with a low ceiling. The hidden block foundation may be crumbling (How much is underpinning and a...

I wonder if CAA ever got a call to boost a Tesla. You don’t need a P Eng to buy one

CAA privileges go with the policy holder. If conditions were right I’d have no problem with calling CAA and having them do the boost. Time is a factor if the wait is going to be hours.

I was very impressed with the "65" label, just like the NASCAR label on my welder. SF

A bit of a highjack but sales ads on the GTA forum show up with a Goggle search. Could a supporting member post a sales ad in the Romper Room thus denying access to anyone but registered members? For a lot of things, the reduced coverage wouldn't work but the tradeoff is dealing with known...

The Trent was built as a commercial canal while the Rideau was military. While the Trent has been modernized with hydraulics the Rideau is gears and winches and the lockmaster's quarters are mini forts not little houses. Try not to get stuck overnight at the lock near Kingston as it's near the...

My wife worked for an insurance company and from what she saw, a lot of the so-called workers were there for the free coffee and internet. It they worked from home their work-related screen time would be easier to monitor and they wouldn't be making social circuits around the office for pet...

I found the Severn the most boring, the Trent the friendliest and the Rideau the most beautiful and interesting, except for the D boats.

If the mail sacks are too heavy the letter carriers could be given donkeys to carry the loads. CP and union managers could be reassigned to the positions.

Future needs: If our car was to suddenly dissolve in the rain, I would like to generally know what's out there so I occasionally window shop. Keeping up with sticker shock is also a factor. They used to leave the build list and MSRP on the cars so I could get a feel for the market without...

I put on about two hours today mostly on trails going up to the airport. I also made a wooden stand that lets me invert the bike without mauling the brake and shifter levers. I found the rear wheel slightly misaligned and with that corrected and on top of the derailleur adjustment the bike is...

I miss a friend's handwritten Christmas cards, written with a fountain pen. I also miss real donuts from the defunct Primrose Bakery and fresh from the garden beefsteak tomatoes.

I would have fewer issues if some common sense was used with E-stuff. Licensing of vehicles and drivers. As a minimum the equivalent of an M-1 license and a permanent plate as used on trailers. Add insurance. Apparently there is a $50 a year option. Of course, Aunty Kathy gave us the...
