    Phone Scammers

    There are entire floors in office towers in Asia dedicated to phone / computer/ bank scams . This may never go away , it’s robbery that’s very hard to trace , and almost unpunishable in the home country. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Where to get a puppy?

    We had a Lab with the biggest personality of any dog we’ve had . Chased a rabbit under the deck and wedged his shoulders , I had to disconnect the deck and floor jack it up to save tbe dog . Dropped a VW key fob , he swallowed it before it hit the ground , ate the leather steering wheel out of...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Puppies are just like kids , only more nicer to be around . Training doesn’t happen instantly, it takes work and patience. And communication, my dogs are “off furniture “ dogs , they get invited to other non dog people’s houses because they know the floor is for them . They also do not get...

    Coffee

    Its an OK espresso , we use Lavazza Crema beans which are not an espresso bean so it will never be perfect, but its not bitter or sour . We arent coffee snobs , we like what we like.

    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...

    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

    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
