    Steps towards a simpler life

    Sure it’s good for her, but what about the kids? Doesn’t sound like school is on-par with here and there’s certainly less career opportunities. I loved my week in Costa Rica and I’m sure if I was solo I could make a life there but I see more opportunities here. Cutting your own hair is...

    Beautiful. I didn't inherit the skills but my Grandfather was an important fella at the Davis Tannery factory in Newmarket.

    Agreed, I felt the same way. Enjoyed watching others in the series more.

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

    Has anyone built owl boxes and do they actually attract owls? I built bird houses for blue jays and smaller ones for smaller birds and squirrels chewed the hole bigger on the larger boxes and took them over. Also, has anyone tried making those homemade cricket traps? The buggers start hiding...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    SRX was initially only used for a brief 3yrs in the 70's in their sled lineup. The SRX in the motorcycle lineup went for more than 10yrs ending in 97. The SRX name came back to the sled lineup the following year in 98.

    Steps towards a simpler life

    I think maybe it helps to live the simple life it you've already experienced it. I grew up with minimal toys, around minimal people out in the countryside, and no silver spoon. I have experienced the more extravagant life but I have no desire for it.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    The typical metal gun locker can be easily opened. As stated, meeting the threshold for storage is pretty easy. You could easily build a MDF storage area that meets rules and easily out-performs the CT $250 12-gun locker. Unless it's vault-style or safe-style it's more of a visual deterrent and...

    What to know about buying a track bike

    The 07 GSXR600 in my user pic is the track bike that I built for me. Like others stated it's often much cheaper to buy one already converted but if you find some deals and are OK with a bit of work it can be worth it to build one yourself. I bought a crashed bike that needed subframe and that...

    Daily sports car?

    Neighbour has a pretty clean Z3 for sale but trunk space is just too tiny. I'd likely pick up a newish Miata to play with for a while and wife would love one but again there's no trunk so it's a no. The Z4 M40 thingy (sorry, I can't keep up with all the different sub models) might be better but...

    I watched the second part of the final MI movie. It wasn't as good as the first half but I still enjoyed it. I'm part way through The Electric State and enjoying it.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I wanted a Corrado VR6 but they were way more money than I had at the time so I settled on a Karmann Ghia edition Scirocco that I traded my 84 Z28 for. Loved that little car. Only pic I could find at the moment was the hatch area. Four 12” subs with the little Punch 40 on display for...

    Lesson to new riders to always watch your mirrors when stopped/stopping. So does this mean you didn't get the bike?

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

    Thanks everyone, I like the idea of building a little doghouse for it with one end open. I can easily store it nearby out of sight and drop it over the genny when used. I have plenty of spare wood for this project and I'd just paint it with some dark outdoor paint to protect it (will be stored...

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

    Thanks, any ideas where I'd be able to source products like that link in soundproofcow east end toronto or a Canadian order?

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

    I don't have neighbours so that's a non-issue. I could build a small wall or enclosure although the enclosure would need to still allow it to breath, not get too hot, and not get completely covered in snow during heavy snowfalls when used (choking out running motor).

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

    Powers been out for a little over 12hrs so far. Generator is a workhorse but it got me wondering if it can be made quieter. It's not loud really but quieter would be better. Specs say 74db online for this newer version of my 11,500 one but they look pretty similar so engine/muffler are likely...
