    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I finally put together a Browning o/u gun that came with a full set of titanium Briley tubes , twenty , twenty eight and four ten reduction. They twenties have a sticking shell problem , the cheap challenger brand swells just enough on discharge to bind in the extractor. I’ll try Herders or...

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

    Donating to charities

    COVID and the housing market

    Let’s not waste any time on financial awareness classes . And please put an empty room tax in place, a capital gain on primary residence, and maybe a sq ft fee for the air space over my head , which I share with the indigenous and First Nations that share my backyard . My first second or third...

    Donating to charities

    My wife and daughter are large supporters of pet rescues , and now also the wolf dog sanctuary in Alberta. They both like animals more than people , odd being one is an office manager for two naturopaths and the other a retired peadi nurse . Or maybe not odd . We do a fund raiser in both my...

    Pickup Trucks

    I’m putting a cap on as I have stuff I’d like secure and not in the cab , I have another trailer ( F me ) and can rent a truck anytime I need to move something taller than a cap . If it’s messy or too tall, Budget rental can fix that. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    November 11th

    I wonder what the political and geographic landscape would look like in Europe had those conflicts not taken place . We lost family in the first and second big war . My dad would never speak about his experiences and my father in law never stopped talking about it . Every man fought a different...

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

    There is probably a municipal bylaw for how close to a property line a tub can be and motor noise , but you have to decide if you want to be ‘that guy’ . I left a three yr old tub when we moved houses , I miss that thing daily . Loved it . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
