    Oil extractor

    My dad was relentless on oil changes and grease jobs and just cleaning up equipment. Every piece of equipment had a timetable. His thing was service is cheap , repairs are expensive. Also being a farmer having a machine down when you only need it for a week was pretty hard to work around . You...

    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    If they don’t figure out how to stop the catastrophic failures I can’t see this being sustainable. Another complete mast / wing collapse , the foils flying off the French boat like a three foot machete . And then the T bone which chopped the hole in GBs boat . It’s very expensive carnage Sent...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    If you park at McDonalds and a shotgun is locked in your truck , acccording to the law as written , it is securely stored. Now how an Officer interprets that law is another thing. Funny if you look at the hundred cars/trucks parked at a gun club vs. cars and trucks at Bass Pro Shop. Gun club...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    My fear isn’t guns being stolen or miss used , mine would be an officer investigating a break in while I’m not here and coming up with some silly storage charge for gun powder sitting on a work bench in a locked room and defending a firearms/ explosives charge . Putting my Nexus renewal or...

    Steps towards a simpler life

    I have NO issue paying people for work done . Show up when you say , or call. Do the job like you have to use it or look at it for years . Then do leave too much mess . If Sparky tells me he’s XX an hour that’s fine , nobody should work for free. But please don’t blow a [emoji639]” hole in a...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    One of my cabinet shop customers has suggested making a “ safe” from [emoji637]” MDF , installing safe style hardware and spraying a coating like a textured automotive box liner , then color coating that . I don’t care it would have no fire rating , but it could be as big as I want in to fit the...

    RCMP and our laws are f'ed up

    Its so silly its sad, a gun like a 308 bolt action rifle isnt a "registered" gun . Those are things like handguns or automatics , the restricted guns. If I sell a gun to you and you hold a PAL licence , the RCMP attach a transaction number that says PxxxFxxx sold a gun to WxxxPxxx , it does not...

    RCMP and our laws are f'ed up

    People from this group will visit "gun shows" aka gun flea markets and buy rifles from people that do not check PAL licences and sell ammo also. They will also buy a rifle for a friend on thier PAL . I have watched these transactions in person. Not all vendors will do this , but some do not...
