I have a silent crush on Mook. Don't tell the wife, lol No I mean, don't. Anyway now that Reacher is over and Wheel of Time is nearly impenetrable, I am kind of in a Blue Jays mode. There's a few decent but not notable movies around, but the wind has kinda left my sails on TV shows. On the...

Hells yes... $100 bought 77L of diesel fuel this time around. That's $.50-.55/L cheaper than it's been in a while.

I warned my wife when we leased a Taos last time that was black, that it would never look clean. She hadn't owned a black vehicle before. As you can see, the new GTI Performance is white. Once you own a black vehicle, you realise you're a slave to it if you want it to look nice. You wouldn't...

This year's driveway. Getting the KTM out shortly as the roads are less sandy here now, new heated comfort seat on it this year.

Rain, snow and hail here in the last hour. Waiting on frogs, locusts and brimstone.

Yep, that's the episode she noped out on. I watched the rest of that episode because I'm stubborn but at that point you know the last episode is going to be consequences.

I found this interesting and disturbing, but the wife couldn't sit for it once things got really heated.

Screw Wawanesa. They first dropped my 911 and then after a year they dropped my Super Duke. The car because "it has too much power" and the bike because "the engine is too large." Oh, and that's with no current speeding tickets on record or any loss of points. I was under the impression that...

Mark Twain warned us about politicians a long time ago. Once in office, they just help themselves to your money.

I mean, for me if I'm at anything but fine dining, I'm expecting to pay $16-21 for a modest meal - something like a specialty burger and fries. And I'm expecting to pay under $10 for a true pint of beer to go with it. And basically if the bill comes to under $40 with tip I'm probably not...

Dead opposite here. Everyone in the house had their first two shots. Two weeks after the first one, I got the Coov, then again every couple of months for most of the following year. Just a few days for most of them. In all, I've had Covid 5 times and the first four times were with the...

Maybe. This got a genuine laugh out of me... haha This is why I'm buying top sirloin, Picanha whenever I get a chance. Relatively inexpensive and done right, tastes great. I like rib steaks much more, but not at twice the price. I like reverse sear, 20 mins @ 275 and then sear on cast iron...

I had a caesar wrap with fries and two 8-oz beers at my gig on Friday night. Cost me $48 with tip. Every time I eat out now, I find myself thinking that I'm being an idiot. Good thing the wife and I have really stepped up our game in the kitchen after Covid. I've got a top sirloin steak, a...

Heck, I take 5000.

Seasonal affective disorder. Really common in the colder climes. Mine also goes away when I'm in a warmer clime.

I've had what the KGH calls "the 100 day cough" and on week 7 now. It's nowhere near as bad as the first two weeks, but I'm still coughing up a cheesesteak hoagie at least twice a day.

Oooh ... let me guess. Are the initials MI? Probably not, he's usually more respectful of the rules. But...

Vass Bednar gave a fantastic presentation at our (CanWISP) conference last week in Gatineau and I can't recommend this book enough even though I have some political disagreements with it. It's just impressive. The Big Fix - Denise Hearn & Vass Bednar

I was a kid with extended Smith's Falls family in the Choice; they let us hang around and no harm would ever come to us or there'd be war. And I was there as a kid in Prince Edward County when they went to Mercer's house in limousines and signed over their patches to the Hell's Angels (not sure...

Excellent book and a reference for years, perhaps.
