    What did you do in your garage today..?

    The Grip Puppies aren't grips guys ... they go OVER your grips and are meant to not be as permanent as grips. I guess hair spray can't hurt but they go on tight (as attested to by Sunday Rider, and me too) and I've never had an issue with them moving one bit without anything to make them stick.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I've put a few of these over the years and WD40 is your friend. Spray the inside and slide them on. Same when taking them off - get a long screwdriver in and spray inside with those red long tips on the WD40 can. The WD40 eventually dries off and you're good. Before buying the Grip Puppies...

    Gaspe 2024

    You going soft? ;) Seriously though, you might get more takers if you got more "reasonable" on your trips ... not everyone has the iron-butt drive you have (respect there) or wants to risk getting too tired near the end of a sunrise-to-sunset ride, etc..

    2024 Day Trips

    Had Pirelli Mt-60S's on the Duc Scrambler (stock tires) and those are a great tire for mild off-roading (as well as on-road).

    Yeah the days of actually giving a description of someone that committed a crime are long gone - guess the criminals got all butt-hurt. I heard something on AM 680 this morning about a stabbing on a bus platform and here's the description you get: "they are looking for a male and female...

    Seems the punishment isn't severe enough ... are our jails just over filled so they pick & choose the worst of the worst to actually do some time?

    I've never heard of the soapy water thing ... aren't you just supposed to apply it a full strength?

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Have you tried RainX for plastic? Now sure how long it'll last but if you anticipate rain, you can always buff some on before heading out.

    That $2k quote on CTV was indeed for a manual up/down bollard with a lock key.

    Saw a clip on CTV News last night about bollards. They were interviewing a young guy about 24 y.o. from "Bollard Boys" ... he was saying it was about $2k to install. Not sure I'd trust those guys but I could be wrong.

    What's to keep that TRX from mowing down the bollards? Somehow I suspect it'd be easier than plowing those 2 blocked vehicles enough to have a get-away.

    Here's what ChatGPT says ... rarely use it but I thought about giving it a try. Sounds like I'll have to get a copy of the will and see if we need to add the "majority decision" clause.

    It's kinda there already (there's been prior history years back to now).

    Wills

    Hold on ... re: the bold part, ALL 3 have to agree? It's not a majority rules situation? We were hoping the 2 sensible ones (sis & I) could overrule self-entitled one (bro). If you're correct, what's the dispute resolution part?

    Wills

    That's what he's doing ... him and his oldest son (15'ish) but still that's a long road trip on an 18 yr old car ... to me the risks are waaay higher than losing the car on a train.

    Wills

    Not when we could have gotten $6k for it ... we ended up giving him a family discount, so $5k.

    Yeah, in hindsight we should have just sold the Subaru and split the funds.

    Inexpensive option for a quality dashcam

    For anyone wanting a CAR dashcam that looks factory and clips under the rear view mirror while connecting to the wiring in that same rearview mirror I highly recommend FitCamX. They may or may not have for your model of car. Bought 1 for my Polestar 2 and then bought another for the Bullitt...
