    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    we bought at 970k, ran up to about 1.4-1.5 during the insanity, and are now hovering around 1.2-1.3. Friends bought for 1.2 nearby, ran up to 1.7-1.8, and have now been sitting on the market for 8 months with no offers above 1.55….which they rejected. We offered 1.5 and they rejected it...

    F@ck Uber and the car they rode in on

    Have tried Uber Eats once a few years ago just to see. Never again. The increased price over just grabbing it oneself immediately put me off and I’ve never tried again, regardless of how tempting it may be. If the restaurant has their own delivery service I’ll go with that. But for the most...

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

    Is the current siding bad or just looks aged? If it just looks aged then a coat of paint will make a world of difference. If it’s bad then the time will come eventually. I figure so long as water isn’t getting in….youre good. You may also get colour matched caulk if you need to patch a few...

    What Are You Paying For Premium Fuel

    When I used to want to wake up at 6am, and go to Costco / Walmart at Dixie and Dundas the premium fuel was the same as a normal gas station normal fuel. Haven't been in ages because I just don't feel like waking up that early.

    What Are You Paying For Premium Fuel

    Used to be a 10-15c/L spread from regular to now premium. They know that premium car buyers are going to pay premium gas prices…zero incentive to go low so they’ll gouge us to the max. Only my Scrambler needs premium in my fleet…thankfully.

    MacDoc's rides 2015 CB300 to 2018 MT03 to 2017 GS310 to 2014 CB500F.

    Not sure that I agree with the strict enforcement on the speeds to the level of Australia. But I won’t disagree on the illegal tints, plate covers, and stupid modifications to scrape the ground and (more dangerously) lifting trucks to the point of being extra lethal as their new bumper heights...

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    I’m no baller unfortunately! You recommend me to go from a fairly high maintenance bike to a MUCH MORE maintenance sensitive bike? I’d love a Multistrada but those bikes scare the hell out of me with maintenance costs.

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    No...can't afford/justify those. VSTROM 650 is at top of list.

    TV shows currently watching

    Finished up S5 of Stranger Things. After all the hate I read online I was expecting much worse. I enjoyed the ending and the full season. Kid wants to watch it so wondering what’s the right age to start watching it. May be a bit rough for a 9 year old.

    Working on it...considering switching careers again, but seeing what I can do here first before I consider leaving OPS.

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    I've done the IB1000 before, and will probably do a similar run also. Just need a better bike for it than the Scrambler...that thing isn't going to help me make 1600km in a single day without some serious modifications. Was planning on joining @shanekingsley solstice ride but if that's not...

    Cuba...

    Last time we were there we saw a handful of hotels that were built as things were looking toward the end / limitation of the embargo. Companies came in, built up hotels in anticipation...and then BAM. New admin came in and that was taken away. So the hotels were sitting empty at maybe 5%...

    Cuba...

    2 groups of our friends both had their trips to Cuba cancelled this week. They re-booked for free to Mexico instead as all the airlines are now not flying down there with new visitors...only return flights with those that were already there.

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

    29k for siding and insulation is a steal! When I was quoting my job for siding and insulation the price was $70k for vinyl siding (no insulation) and 140k for 1” insulation and James Hardie siding. Did the siding myself as I didn’t have that type of cash. $33k all in (with new shed, flashing...

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

    Ya we got some quotes a while back…wow. Eye watering. Unfortunately this is one of those things I can do as I don’t have the seamless machine…and I’m terrified of heights. But my dad is already ready to buy that piece of kit….🤦🏻‍♂️

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    First bike of the season for me. Small white sport bike on Burnhamthorpe near Cawthra going east as I was driving west. Kudos!

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

    Have tried a handful of 'fixes' over the years...but it's just leaning more and more. One of the main issues is the neighbour's hedge that is pushing against the fence but they're not responsive. When I take the fence down, I'll make sure to trim their hedge so it doesn't continue doing...

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

    Always appreciated thanks! My plan is to re-use the same holes that I pull the current posts out of. Unfortunately they are in concrete so breaking that apart takes the bulk of the time. Thanks to GTAM the posts are coming out fairly easily...but I'll be buying one of those JEEP jacks that go...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Didn't consider the basement actually. Wasaga has the space at the cottage...but a nosy neighbour that's already threatened me for 'day burning' as her friend 'is the fire chief and while she doesn't want to threaten me...she will tell him'. So it's more of an annoying neighbour up there...
