    Smart watches

    I have an old Garmin vivoactive 3, which is still going, but needs charging every day like the apple watches. Looking between the Instinct 3's and Venu 3. But they're all close to $500. I think the Forerunner 165 was a good entry level running watch at $279. I had a fit bit step counter, but...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    If the bumps are too high, you can complain, and someone’s brother in law will come, scrape them off, then put down new lower ones.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    My original thought was that it was sitting in a snow storm for a few days and the neighbour might have blown snow onto it and that did something. We took the wheel on and off twice and I tapped it with a hammer. Put it back on and left it overnight in the warm garage. The next morning when...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Switched to the snows on my son's car, after it sat in the snow for a couple of days. Right rear tire would spin backwards, but not forwards. Put it in the garage overnight. Got the car guy next door on it this morning, and it turns out the torque was too tight. Wrench was set at the right...

    TTC subway closure - Sorry

    Just got home to Ottawa . Had a nice nine and a half hour tour of plowed and unplowed roads in Ontario, including the 509. Started on the 401, which closed due to a collision. Then county roads to the 7. Accident on 7. Closed. Took the google maps detour to another accident, turned around...

    Normal car recommendation….

    I forgot, she wants hybrid. I'm thinking driver massage function, the way my back feels after a long trip.

    Normal car recommendation….

    Got almost 298,000+ on my 2015 Odyssey. Just put a new water pump in it for around $1500, because the bearing was loose. Went to the dealer before that for something and they put me through the wringer for a wire that squirrels had chewed. Didn't even replace it, just repaired it, but had to...

    Cheapskates Corner

    I just finished flipping my tyres to winter ones. Youngest came to help and forgot to tighten the left rear nuts. Caught it in time. Two more cars to go before it snows. Saved 75-90 dollars.

    That sounds more like being safe than being cheap.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Had one of these brush by my elbow on a pedestrian bridge. Scared the beejeebers out of me.

    These speed limit reductions are getting out of hand

    Parents street had a small mostly old British sportscars shop at the end. It was originally a box factory. The owner used to test drive the cars at speed down the street which had no speed bumps or stop signs past a children's park. Residents asked for a single stop sign at the intersection...

    Eye Lens Replacement

    Ick. I’ve had a cataract in my left eye for a couple of years now. Went to the surgeon here for a consultation and he recommended either one eye similar to my current vision or both with the trifocal lenses. After 60 years it would suck to switch from nearsighted to farsighted.

    Internet Providers besides Bell and Rogers

    Bell doesn't make it super easy to cancel. You need to call the number, and cancellation isn't readily labelled in the early options. My concern now is that to get the shipping label to send them back their stuff, you need to put in an order number under the label Internet - Disconnect...

    Internet Providers besides Bell and Rogers

    Only took me a couple of hours to get this computer back onto the internet. Some of the hard connections no longer wanted to operate. We'll see how long it takes to get the rest of the house up and running. Will start the cancellation process with Bell tomorrow.
