    Cheapskates Corner

    In retail that’s known as blind product , people will drive two hours to save fifty cents on oil ( look at GTAM thread history) and pay triple for a bulb without even thinking about it . My circle of friends has started a wine chat where we look for lcbo clearance or end of lines and product...

    Coffee

    My justification for the Jura machine , it’s completely programable so I have a sturdier grind and longer press through than my wife , we each have a button with our name on it . We can use the same beans and both get what we want . Yes it’s a little over the top , but when it’s one cup in the...

    Coffee

    Coffee is very important over here , Jura S eight super automatic , makes a fantastic Americano and with a button wife gets a cappuccino’s, we use Lavazza creamy beans exclusively, after decades we agree on a bean. I keep a Nespresso on the boat , tbe aluminum pods don’t get buggered in the...

    Marinating Steak

    @backmarkerducati , you pretty much nailed it . Sometimes a lower end cut is priced too well not to give it a go . And pepper and salt on that will be horrible chewy experience. You can eat the whole cow or just ten pounds , Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Smart watches

    if they have apple phones , apple watches just make sense. Otherwise Garman is very good , pricing is all over the map , Sail stores had some good black friday stuff . I do think with kids its important to get them the tech they WANT to use . I'm very specific when it comes to the things I want...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    In the hundred year history of our gun club ( shotgun only) there have been two accidents involving old guys that should have quit. But the point here is accidents , nothing planned and zero criminal intent . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Help shopping for skis

    I bought my mid week Glen Eden pass , I’m back to very mid level rec skiis with a very deep parabolic side cut , they almost initiate their own turns . I’ve packed up the giant slalom skiis , there are only about three runs in Ontario to enjoy them , after years of beating my brains out thinking...

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    At the risk of sounding like old stock Canadian , my family were immigrants , two hundred and fifty yrs ago, I guess we blended in . Growing up we had a large community near us of newer Italians , they opened businesses and built or bought homes , threw great picnics . When I moved it was near...

    COVID and the housing market

    It’s not just a rich vs poor gap, there are people with legitimate reasons they cannot go to work in any job that would be high pay , health issues , handicap challenges , whatever . They deserve help. Third generation in subsidized housing ? That needs an intervention. Sent from my iPhone...

    Marinating Steak

    Pretty hard to beat Costco for value . Highland farms in Hamilton is a close second , you can also get some good sales if you watch for it . Oakvilles Finest Butcher on Speers rd will get you the best prime and AAA available but it will cost you a fortune ( if you don’t do it often it’s pretty...

Slather on both sides of the steak and put it in zip lock bag for a couple hours...

    COVID and the housing market

    Also sad is three hundred k income is one sixty ? One seventy ? Take home , taxes to the tits . You buy spare mansions because the income will never slow down .

    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?

    Amazing how much stuff shuffles around when the Missus goes missing for a couple hours . I had a Kawasaki small engine in the dishwasher getting degreased when she was supposed to be gone all afternoon…… Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Donating to charities

    Yes but first you invest that hundreds of thousands of money , peel off the interest , then the administrative costs of collecting which when done right cost your company nothing . Don’t get me wrong , the money eventually gets somewhere and does good , raising the companies profile and helping...
