    A lot of people want to think they're invincible. They aren't and being pro-active is the way to go.

    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    I as at a Home Depot in Vicksburg Mississippi wearing full gear at the checkout and the young lady commented "Aren't you a bit old for that?" I bit my tongue so as not to offend her but what was she doing the last few days as I rode through the scenery of the Blue Ridge, meeting people and...

    TTC subway closure - Sorry

    I was told that a lot of "Maintenance" was scaping body parts off the train and tracks. Mentioning the "S" word encourages others. Take away guns and people use trains and bridges.

    TTC subway closure - Sorry

    I was coming back from London several years ago and they had closed the 401 near Woodstock IIRC. An OPP officer was at the top of the exit lane directing people to turn right to the detour. For some reason he told me to turn left, maybe it was pity, but I got the short route through town.

    Number 1, check the frame crossmember. They are prone to rusting out and repairs aren't worth it.

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

    Mathematically 1/4" X 1/4" = 1/16 Square inches. 150 pounds coming down on that is 2400 PSI. Who needs a jackhammer?

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    So, who picks up the contract cancellation costs of the banned cameras? The City of Toronto having a hiring freeze is a joke. How about them doing an efficiency audit? An efficiency audit might suggest a firing spree.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    My uncle had a Ford Crown Vicky with air suspension. It rode like a dream but one time when he had it in for service the mechanic put it on a chassis hoist without locking out the suspension and blew out the air bags. The dealer didn't like the outcome. I don't know if the lockout was required...

    One can read the situation several ways. One is "a bunch of lazy druggies are taking over the city" but if you listened to the script, 87% of the squatters were employed or had income. They just can't afford to live in their own country. Somewhat related, that city spends more on enforcement...

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

    When our daughter was transitioning from crib to bed we looked at some private sale used stuff. One was an almost but not right buy and going cheap. As I waffled the lady said "At any price?" She just wanted it gone. When the elderly family next door had to move into a senior's home, they...

    Being stingy: I asked my dentist how much toothpaste one needs on the brush and he said just a bit, you don't need to make it look like a toothpaste commercial, loading the brush. Similarly, for those that shave with blade and foam, do you glop on a handful and look like Santa gearing for a...

    The video puts the blame on the city of Eugene Oregon, about the size of Barrie or Oshawa. It claims that the city spends more on enforcement than it would on improvements. At around 12:35 the video mentions a 2019 Mini Winnie with an original price of $78,000 selling at auction in Sept 2024...
