    The Official Ongoing Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread

    Anna Maes IMO was better before she sold it. Still good. Some Sunday morning I want to park by the Mennonite church in Elmira and watch the Mennonite squids tear off for home after church service.

    The Official Ongoing Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread

    Skipping over the thread, but a member put us onto Bonny Lou's in Floradale, just north of Elmira. Good food, quaint Mennonite atmosphere.

    Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride

    I've often envisioned riding a vintage BMW airhead while wearing a suit and tie. Alas I don't have a BMW and my suit no longer fits.

    Mosport new owners?

    I don't know much about the track, only walking around it once with a friend that had a nearby farm. If the new owners had racing in their blood it would bode better than a history of land development.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    But if you wanted milk for your coffee, with a cow in the house, it would be on tap.

    More Harley-Davidson management changes

    I can see a link. Where are people spending their money today? A generation or two ago purchases were pragmatic. Now there is a huge shift to spending on entertainment, YOLO etc. Dining out is mostly entertainment. Huge bucks for sports live events at $$$ a seat. Full spectrum cable would...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    If you don't mind the smell... Del Lussenden, a Surge dairy equipment dealer in Owen, Wis., has come up with a new "cow power" system that captures body heat given off by dairy cows to heat farm homes and other buildings. In the summer, the system reverses itself to act as an air conditioner...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I wasn't aware of the fine. How does one pursue a settlement? Do fines from violating the HTA go to the government or the victim? Assuming they go to the government, how does the injured party get compensation and how long does it take? A lot of insurers don't cover glass anymore. Who is...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    The problem reminds me of how to win a hockey game. It's easy, just score more goals than the other team. I was involved in a study of the ice problems caused by the CN Tower. A few decades back they shut down the Gardener Expressway...

    Porch Pirates

    I don't know if this is a big thing here but there are lot of YouTube videos on it. Many look staged but the question is the legality of what is a form of booby trap. Most are glitter bombs and cleaning the car interior would be hard. The blue foam is amusing to watch but not if the person...

    Anyone do the laser eye thing?

    FWIW How blind is legally blind? An uncle lost his eyesight later in life due to the removal of a brain tumor. Afterwards he could only see fuzzy shapes. He could read a licence plate if he held it up to his nose. Living in a small town, he could still go for walks and drop in where he used to...

    A Christmas Story trivia.

    There was a serious sibling rivalry between my brother and me and in mid 1950's Manitoba he licked piece of steel in winter. Fortunately it was small enough to bring inside where my grandfather poured warm water on it as my brother howled and I smirked. Many decades later some cousins took me...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I'm trying to do the math on how many drinks one would have to chug to get to that number. Assume a 200 pound male and rye whiskey. An alcoholic friend would pour 8 to 10 ounces of rye into a tumbler, put in a splash of ginger ale and drink it like it was water. He had a few DUIs in the...

    The future is looking bright

    Lots of "Could reduce comments" in the message but not too many "Will reduce" Bananas have been $0.59 a pound for ages. It's a conspiracy between the grocers and government so they can point to something and say, see, We've got inflation under control.

    Phone Scammers

    How much time loss does your phone cause you? Yes having a phone saves driving to see a person when you only need to ask a simple question but: You're on hold due to a high volume of calls. Translation = Understaffed. It's an issue if they have to pay for more staff time but if that means you...
