Everything is big in Texas as they say. I’m going there as well as New Mexico in March for a couple of weeks.

What a legacy he has left. All In The Family was ground breaking and he was just getting started. This scene from From Spinal Tap is absolutely brilliant. I still get a laugh watching it.

There’s something so satisfying about watching those videos. I don’t know what it is but I can watch them for hours.

I’m probably the only guy on the planet that has never seen that movie.I’ll have to watch it this year.

Seriously, if your kid has aspirations of road racing the first thing I would do is to get him racing motocross or on a dirt bike as soon as possible. Had a lot of friends I grew up with that roadraced, the ones that really excelled all started on motocross bikes and moved up to road racing in...

I wouldn’t recommend that. I lent a neighbor my almost new Crafstsman snowblower about 12 years ago, he broke a shear pin and replaced it with a bolt without telling me. Later that winter I was clearing the windrow at the end of my driveway, a chunk of ice gets jammed up in the augers and takes...

I just watched the Eddie Murphy documentary “Being Eddie” on Netflix. Apparently Buckwheat died penniless and Eddie Murphy payed for his headstone. He came across as a really down to earth guy, not at all like I imagined him to be.

Today is the 45th anniversary of John Lennon’s death.Does anyone else remember where they were when they heard? I was in high school and the following evening we had a vigil that involved some beer and a bit of weed in my parent’s basement. I remember this 17 year old girl, Val, taking a big...

I use to really like these guys. I saw them twice, once at RPM on Queens Quay. The other time was at a roadhouse type bar in Las Vegas, they just happened to be playing around the corner from the hotel I was staying at.

About five years ago,my wife and two step children (mid twenties) all got their eyes done at The Hertzig institute near Bay and Bloor. We were in and out in about an hour. Her son and daughter got perfect results. The procedure my wife got was one eye for close, one for distance and let your...

I just read the fine print about fine threads being stronger, apparently not so in soft metals like aluminum but i still think Heli coils are stronger in aluminum than just threading into aluminum. I did a lot of work years ago in a metal fabrication plant that made a lot of parts for the...

I think fine threads actually have more pullout strength than coarse threads. Fixing it properly with a Heli coil will also make it stronger than just threading into aluminum but yeah, that sucks.

This is destined to be a classic.

I think he was going to work in a mine or something up there

Yes, I get all that but try explaining that to an 18 year old kid on the verge of hypothermia.

I was at the Scarborough Town Centre just before Christmas with a buddy in the very early’80s. I went to drop $50 into The Salvation Army bucket. My buddy said he would never give them a nickel. He told me that when he was about 18 he went to Yellowknife for a job. For whatever reason it didn’t...

Yes, one way of looking at it. The cool thing about it is that they are all covers, some of the musicians in the band , the best in the business, also played on the originals

Some may dismiss this as a novelty record but the band is first rate.It’s actually quite good. Guitar legend Steve Cropper played on this, he passed away yesterday.

I don’t think you can beat a Honda when it comes to small engines. I wouldn’t even consider buying a utility generator or snowblower that wasn’t made by Honda. I’ve got a 15 year old eu2200i inverter generator that has run for days on end with the original spark plug up until last year. I have...
