    COVID and the housing market

    I’m not surprised at Center Court whacking him hard . In the last couple years developers have been building in clauses on pre occupancy flips to help keep the market sensible and allow the developers to sell enough units to close out the condo deal , not swim in flips and paper trails . Dude...

    COVID and the housing market

    I don’t feel the least bit sorry for Tajin the condo flipper . He was looking for a quick buck and condos , cottages , houses are all like any other venture . Many of us made huge gains in months and a couple years , but anything that goes up like a rocket usually comes down in flames . It was a...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    The only real problem, if it’s even that , is shooting trap or skeet with field and duck guns is they are usually too light . They are built to wander around the bush or haul into a blind . Trap guns are sometimes pounds heavier so you don’t get beat up shooting a hundred birds in a day . They...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Dings hurt a small bit financially but hurt a lot emotionally. If you get a custom stock or just a high end gun you feel very bad when the piano finish gets hit with a piece of flying clay target . My custom stocked Browning has many whacks from broken clay , doesn’t really change the value by...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Dive computers have rendered all that tech to the shelf . I only wear an actual dive watch diving for nostalgia. Last trip to Bahama, the diver master handed out preprogrammed sets and collected them at days end , you were emailed a printout each evening and a weeks final print logging...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    That’s not awful , cheaper than a Krieghoff or Kemma. DTII is a very well made gun , you can break targets with a Stevens you bought for a hundred bucks , you just can’t break two hundred thousand of them . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    COVID and the housing market

    The cottagers that bought hoping AirB/B would be the mortgage saviour are getting cooked as cottage associations are passing bylaws having had enough . Even municipalities are pushing hard as the local cop doesn’t want to drive...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    His bank manager was wrong . He would be liable for the money and have to repay , if he was really a wank about it he would incur penalties and court costs . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    In its day it probably was nice , now it’s a floating liability. The “encapsulated keel” is marketing term for a full keel that was built into the mold then filled with concrete or lead scraps and capped inside , it’s not better . Five was probably the initial commitment to get a production run...

    That’s funny , and sad , and stupid . And they will have to bring engineers out before the bridge goes back into service ? That should be cheap. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We are getting a lot of Bukh engines here now as repower projects since they are quite reasonable compared to Yanmar or John Deere marine , way more reliable and affordable than anything Volvo and Perkins / westerbeke seem to be vintage pieces . Bonus is they seem to also be designed for anyone...

    Who is this guy? Sikorsky S-76C C-FBLU

    The drones are a fantastic idea , the coast guard are using them on Lake Ontario for search and rescue . Our local police ( Halton) just got a couple and are training four “pilots” to use for looking for things like bush parties . The officers can see what they are walking into . Operating...

    I’ve heard the Rideau is the most scenic and has a lot of history to see . That appeals to me . Pottering along at six miles an hour will make it feel like my sailboat …. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Lewmar makes a low profile vertical instead of horizontal ( side ways not over top ) winch. Gypsy is a combo chain / three strand . We will pop in a hole for a Howser line and build a fiberglass box inside the pointy bow which is waste space anyway . As long as calibrated metric chain is used...

    That was our exact thoughts , we will run the original Merc till it’s done , if we still own it a Yanmar will go in . Eighty five hp turbo deisel will run forever going forward . Boat was just under thirty k so lots of room to improve things . Anchor windlass is first on the list , lewmar makes...

    Meanwhile I may have bought half a Limestone [emoji638][emoji640] ( the built by Hinterholler version) to do the Trent/severn and Rideau . I’m a very slow learner . At least the guy I’m partnering with is flush with cash and treats things better than most . Sent from my iPhone using...
