Just exactly what do you recommend letting go of? Clutch lever, throttle, handlebars, brakes?

I knew a delightful older lady that related a story from her youth. In the 1920's an elderly couple was finding it troublesome hitching up their horse to the buggy so decided to buy a car. Not knowing how to drive they hired a man to chauffeur them around. They had trouble finding a suitable...

Borrow from Coca Cola. Fuel Classic

You can buy the delft clay from Amazon or there's a place up near the airport that sells it along with other needs. Gesswein.ca

More playing around. I’m still having problems with thin sections but I managed to cast a spare key for the cage. It’s ugly but works.

Condolences.

The Amish practice shunning when members go against the grain. Peer pressure can be a good deterrent but the bar has been set so low by politicians and those in power that it hardly matters.

It's a wood window with beautiful details. Women and windows, the curves make the work worthwhile. Yeah, I'm a sexist pig.

I would like to see what supposedly primitive tribes in remote jungles do with unproductive members of the tribe. Maybe we could learn a thing or two.

I built and installed two new gates to replace the sagging ones. I just have to apply some end-cut sealant. Mine's the curvaceous one. The next major project is replacing the cedar hedge across the back of the property. A discussion with the neighbour on the other side has opened up some...

The filter that came with it was very effective. The Milwaukee blows a teak of sawdust ten feet straight out the back with no capture options. I made a 90 degree adapter that keeps the sawdust closer to the saw or can be fired into a pail.

That's a Toronto thing going back to the great fire of over a century ago. I don't know if other municipalities followed suit.

A friend dropped by yesterday to show off his new battery powered table saw. Comparing my Milwaukee to his Festool is like comparing a Chevy pickup to a BMW. For three times the price of my Milwaukee he gets motorized digital blade height and angle. It packs down into a svelte plastic box a bit...

Does she say, "What for?" a lot?

Point made. Chinese cars are less likely to spill your beer.

There's camping and there's tenting. A friend's wife detests tents because, as a kid, every summer they'd go west to visit relatives. Her dad wouldn't pay motel rates so they drove all day and then stopped late, set up the tent, Coleman stove and ate out of a cooler. Next morning it was pile...

Just thinking about a funeral I saw yesterday. There used to be a courtesy thing about letting the procession cautiously run reds. I don't think the cameras care. Nor do they care about your protest ride.

What about the cargo? I assume the shipper arranges to transfer the load to a safe vehicle. Crane or loading service? Really touchy with perishable goods. The original shipping rate was good.

The late Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's buddy did an interesting talk on the difference between greed and envy. He argued that greed could be OK but not envy. Greed is going after what you want to make you happy, a fixed target. Envy is going after something bigger or better than what someone...

Stay where you're to and I'll come where you're at. :) I had to make a winter service call to Jackson's Arm NF. They were pouring concrete using a gas powered drum mixer and my first thought was "Why didn't they call in a ready mix?" Answer: It would have to come from Cornerbrook several hours...
