    The only extended warranty I would consider is drivetrain . It’s a sixteen K engine or six k transmission that would make me think . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Portable solar chargers for phones laptops ect

    Phones are much easier than laptops , phones are almost always USB while the laptop needs to get to whatever voltage the laptop needs , which depending on who made the laptop twelve to twenty four volts so for ease of life you need to use the transformer that comes with the laptop , go from DC...

    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    Conditions aren’t “quite” as rough as media is portraying it . Twenty five kts and miserable sea state , which is every year . Lot of boats reporting sea sick sailors , which is also every year . The hundred footers have a huge lead , and advantage, they don’t bounce like the forties . Sent...

    Portable solar chargers for phones laptops ect

    Most solar panels are too big for a tank bag . The Sail store sells small flexible panels but the output is pretty low , CTC also has a small trickle charger about eight in by twelve , rigid solar panel but the output is pretty low. You may do better with a small lithium power pack , I have a...

    COVID and the housing market

    The “mortgage finder” guys with catchy ads are about one step up from the payday loan guys . They exist because there is a market , it’s sleazy, but desperate people do unfortunate things . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    That setup warrants no criminal charges because stupid is not a crime . Now should some folks up the ladder get a black spot on their record ? Yup . Will anything likely happen? Nope . You set up a raid WELL outside your jurisdiction, don’t advise the locals because they may be ‘in on it’ , kick...

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

    I had use of a 6x10, I think iot was almost perfect. Patio door set would go inside , 10ft drywall, dry spot for table saw on deck projects . Buddy used it once or twice a year moving sleds ect up and back from cottage so it usually sat empty. I dont do much anymore outside of my own projects ...

    COVID and the housing market

    I would hazard a guess the unfortunates they have dealt with couldn’t hire a second year student let alone an actual lawyer . Two kinds of people , those that understand compound interest and those that pay it . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

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

    Even the original truck boxes taking four x eight are a no go if you start using TFL or high end plywood since it’s forty nine by ninety seven and it sits awkward . Not sure where the split hits but a tandem axle enclosed being used in construction will need an annual inspection as will the tow...

    COVID and the housing market

    Unless someone had been really stupid , mortgage plus two car loans and a LOC , banks will extend to keep the cash rolling . They do not want to be in the real estate business and they don’t want to write down a loosing property, they will let you keep making payment until it’s crystal clear...

    Sell what you have and buy an enclosed trailer . The hillbilly rigs never really work out . If it’s your side gig transport, if you show up to my house with some half arsed mobile project , your preceding reputation better be Picasso with a hammer or I’m questioning the whole thing . First...

    COVID and the housing market

    It’s difficult to look at downtown Burlington and Oakville objectively, you have the historic homes that get a good price but demand a different audience. The older houses that get demolished so a powerhouse can now sit on the lot send the prices up . And they both have excellent liveability...
