I was supposed to ride out to Edmonton for a cousins wedding, was going to through the US, visit some of the great areas in those northern States, see Yellowstone, etc. Was looking forward to it and needed a vacation, going on 3 years without taking one at the moment, and this year is not...

I do not use Facebook. Out of curiosity I made a facebook account for a kayaking/book club I am part of with a couple of good friends. I did not use the account to friend anyone, nor did I use any real information about anything. It was made under the clubs name, and again everything fake. I...

I like the look of the bike, though I do have a tendency to like the ugly ducks of the bike world. Love BMW with their quirky weird headlight designs and love the look of this HD. I do wish they had gone with a shaft drive or at least a belt. Looks like it will be a great bike for touring on as...

I am hoping I can use this for the time being. I emailed the chief here and was told they are looking at the bylaws to make it easier for smaller lots, with some other changes. That is not going to come up till April or May though, so does not help me know. I am going to get in touch with the...

Turns out the food thing may actually help. I am going to email the Chief and ask about it. The bylaw states: Sec. 2.6.3.4 of the Ontario Fire Code states, “Open air burning shall not be permitted unless approved, or unless such burning consists of a small, confined fire, supervised at all...

Not sure, I will be looking for other options for sure if I cannot get a permit. I am not fan of any of the more enclosed types of fires, just sucks the magic out of a nice fire, especially on a cold winters night. I will take what I can get though in the end.

That is my issue, I am most likely a couple of feet under the 25 foot space they need, which is huge. Permit is $45 here and think it is good for as long as I own the house, nothing I see is seasonal about it.

I will be looking at a different options if I can't keep my fire pit as is. I am not a fan or the covered fires or anything like that but will have to take what I can get or move to an even smaller town where people can be responsible adults with less red tape.

I believe it was a neighbour who backed against my back yard, my side neighbours seem very nice and never have issues with them, one of them has their own pit and that is certainly not up to could being very close to the fence. I don't know the people I back against. The complaint was the fire...

I am going to connect with the local fire chief here and explain my situation. I am also going to measure out my property as well hoping Google Earth is off a bit in my favour. Will definitely look into the food thing, we do generally roast sausages on the fire, would be amazing if it were...

I live in a small town and have a back yard fire pit that I have used for the last 2 1/2 years. I have a long backyard, 90 feet. I have a small shed on it as well. Bylaw here is 25 feet from all structures and fences. The long way is no issue, the width between houses is 47.5 feet give or take a...

Looks like the simple fix is a ramp on both ends and an increase in the speed limit.

I went all electric when I bought my house. I like the Ego line of products that you can get from Home Depot. I have the lawnmower, whipper snipper, snow blower and a leaf blower that came free with one of other things. Batteries are all interchangeable and work great. The snowblower is small...

I am not concerned, I am already a super villain being straight, white and male! Should be the mandate of every government to look after their people first and help those after. I think we have a duty to help those less fortunate than us, but I think we should not do it at the expense of citizens.

Completely agree. Not sure why we have ZERO facilities or companies in Canada that can produce a vaccine like this but we are now shown to be completely unprepared for anything like this. I think it was in this thread or on another forum that I read there is approval for a company to start...

I have no issue with this. Yes it sucks that we can't get vaccines but I blame our own leadership and the fact we have nothing in this country to even produce our own. Biden, Trump, any President should be looking after their people first and I know I would not be happy if we had not vaccinated...

Not just Toronto, think this is going on all over Ontario. We cannot remain in lock down as a province or country. We have been lucky to remain open falling in the essential service category but so many have not and so many small businesses going under while the big guys are making record...

I guess I am not devious enough to think of things like that. Though if that were the case I would think it is too late even if they have a high temperature as everyone who had been in contact with the child would need to be tested. Heard "hygiene theatre" mentioned a while ago and thought it...

What does checking 4 times a day do?

When is an announcement supposed to take place? If any.
