    What's your time worth?

    Is there a bigger waste of time than recycling? I keep hearing that a huge (80 to 90%) of our recycling material ends up in a garbage dump. So basically, we remove labels, rinse containers and separate things so we can have cleaner garbage at the dump. Thank you, loser politicians, for signing...

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    I keep wondering where the money comes from to pay for the seats.

    I sold my Harley Sportster 1200 for a Bonneville T120

    I considered my 1200 Sportster a 50/50 bike. Above 50 MPH I couldn't read the gauges and after 50 miles I was looking for a gas station. It was fun while it lasted.

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    Ambulances used to use The Bridal Path to get to Sunnybrook but speed bumps made that risky so it's five or ten minutes longer for a critical case.

    COVID and the housing market

    The losers of the month group award goes to the people that used helocs on their primary dwellings to come up with down payments for second big houses. Some faked income levels to get mortgages they couldn't afford. They rented rooms out to foreign students at rates high enough to more than...

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    I was talking to a cop a few eeks ago and he agreed it's all about the money. Municipalities are pushing back on Ford's anti camera stance. I assume the cameras have adjustments to allow X KPH over the limit. If a new special interest project comes up they just tweak the dial to get a few more...

    COVID and the housing market

    The losers are the small businesses that closed and moved or shut down in anticipation of the rebuilding. It takes years to re-establish in a new location.

    What's your time worth?

    I can not unsubscribe to FB alerts. Requests fall on the deaf. I don't need to know that someone I barely know commented on a post by someone I don't know about something I don't care about.

    COVID and the housing market

    Mattamy / QuadReal have pulled the plug on their, "The Clove" project, starting the cancellation process. They have sold less than 10% of the units. I'm assuming anyone that bought is smiling as they can get a better deal elsewhere. The project looked like a remake of the Don Mills Centre...

    Getting old sucks

    That has to be a challenging job. I worked with a guy that spent 2 years in Milton for manslaughter. In a bar dust up his punch knocked the other guy down and he hit his head, never getting up again. The place had its own rules.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I'm not sure what speed limit adherences are for standard, Hurry and Mad Max. Sloth mode was briefly mentioned. I assume the car automatically goes to the left lane at 20 under with the turn signal on.

    Where to get a puppy?

    No one has mentioned the zoomies. From what I'm told Danes sleep most of the day but occasionally get the zoomies like other dogs and rocket around the house, bouncing off walls.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I wasn't comfortable in my buddy's Model S in Hurry FSD. I can see it working OK on a lightly travelled multilane highway where most vehicles are also in a hurry. It would be different in heavy traffic if it entailed weaving in and out. There's a difference between parking a car six inches...

    Indian motorcycles sold

    Warren Buffet bought an ailing company that was about to go under. He realized they were overstaffed and carried too much parts inventory. He let go a sizeable number of workers and stopped buying parts until levels dropped to reasonable numbers. The company survived but he was bad mouthed...

    Indian motorcycles sold

    Private equity has a reputation of plunder and abandon. Maybe there's some good ones out there but we don't hear about them. A vintage book collector I knew had a hate on for people that bought valuable old books for $200 and cut out twenty illustrations, selling them for $30 each, making a...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Temperament is #1 on the decision list. Most dogs come with one and although people will argue theirs is the exception it usually isn't. You can't determine temperament by saying it's a specific breed. German shepherds come in different sizes and moods. One can be full sized and have inbred...

    Where to get a puppy?

    I think my daughter is nearing $10K for her 13-year-old cat. She didn't go for insurance and figures it's about break even, considering the deductibles.
