    Steps towards a simpler life

    Like Lightcycle said there's a bunch of things you just don’t think about that can impact everyday life. We've been looking into this for a while. In Panama people regularly burn their trash as collections can be sporadic or paid for and some people don’t want to pay. It can be a bit worrying...

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    You're probably fine with eavestroughs without a tether. My height restriction is about 50 meters or so I think. Maybe more. If you have a DJI drone it's an automatic setting anyway, no need to worry as it's georestricted.

    So it's that time again....winter pasttimes?

    You may be limited to altitude for the drones there. I am due to the local airport here. The good news is that you don’t need to go that far to escape the restrictions. This is for sub 250g drones though. Big ones have their own set of rules.

    They need time to get these people settled in and playing as a team. Wirtz is only just starting to show what he can do. He's looked a bit nervous up to now. Kerkez is doing well. Ekitike seems like a class signing.

    Steps towards a simpler life

    Sorry to hear that. It takes a lot of organization. You need lawyers for everything there including buying cars etc. First you have to find lawyers you trust though which is no small feat and you need to realize that there's a bunch of people just waiting to fleece you of cash.

    I watched the game. That was a laser guided free kick. Amazing strike. If we get Guehi too that would be good.

    Steps towards a simpler life

    Schools aren’t bad and if you really want to spend a bit there are international schools for expat kids in most places where expats congregate. I don’t see it as any different to French immersion just this is Spanish immersion. The kids left some friends and made new ones. If you have an army...

    Steps towards a simpler life

    Years ago I met an expat in Costa Rica when we were arranging to hand off some things for school kids there. She originally worked in Montreal and her job was high stress and she had been told there was a high chance of stroke from heart issues etc. She decided to sell everything, quit her job...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    To ease my mind a little I keep my reloading stuff in explosives/flammables bags from Amazon.

    No kids negates that issue! For a happy life you have to be happy with who you are with Happy with where you are Then a bit further down that list is happy with work. Work to live, not the other way round. Edit: doh. a bit slow on the uptake- we just see mousaka as a Greek lasagna for...

    Steps towards a simpler life

    We bought a cheap mini chest freezer, put it in the garage and then cooked big home made meals like a lasagna or moussaka or something that we put into portions. Froze them and used them when we didn’t have a lot of time. Works out very well and is better than the stuff you buy.

    Say no more often. Delegate work to competent people rather than micromanage.

    RCMP and our laws are f'ed up

    Lots of gun stores have consignment sales. Have a look at SFRC online in the used section for instance. They will often be at a higher price than a private sale but it's also way less sketchy (I sold a gun in a parking lot, legally with all the i's dotted and t's crossed with PAL checked etc...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    I didn’t check if they ship bikes. This place has great sales on some gear right now. This road bike is $500 down from $1300 https://www.northstarbicycle.ca/product/trek-domane-al-2-379121-1.htm Edit: $150 to ship a bike.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Thanks for the reminder. I used to have one but it kind of rusted away. Just ordered a new one. My wife will thank you for not having sweaty body armour draped over a sofa or the back of a door.
