    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    There are many variables but impaired drivers tend have a higher survivability rate because they are totally relaxed at the time of impact.

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    If the battery is too tall I would just cut it to make it smaller. Don't be stupid... cut it from the bottom not the top. The top is where the terminals are and if you cut it there you won't have a place to connect up the wires! :ROFLMAO:

    North shore of Lake Superior

    Beware of animals and avoid dusk and dawn if you can. If dusk or dawn is necessary stick behind another vehicle, let them take the hit... Even in summer the weather can be miserable (heavy rain) so if you have some flexibility to wait a day or so it can pay off. Plan fuel stops if your bike has...

    Getting a bike from Quebec without lisense

    I see one in Mississauga for sale for a couple grand more with lower mileage. Factor in hassle, trailer rental, fuel, risk, etc... seems like a no brainer to skip the Quebec one??? As others noted, if you have limited riding experience, it is a bad choice for a first bike. ALSO, get an...

    Blocked IPs?

    Mine is working again, did something change??? For when is it not working... My home ISP is Rogers, their WiFi, Gateway etc. no VPN--no devices work from this location. My cell is also Rogers when using data it works, also any devices tethered to it. Any other location works. But as noted, it...

    Blocked IPs?

    My access via my home connection is blocked or just not working again. Any other IP everything works fine, same machine etc. It is odd as my home IP started working for a couple weeks shortly after bringing this up but then the same thing as before....

    Jokes

    It's an airport bus (900) and that is the luggage rack... assuming you were not on the way to or from the airport maybe it is being used on another route.

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

    If you are running a new wire you can decide 120v or 240v as the motor does both. As it is temp I may lean 120v 12/2 on a 20amp breaker. That extra 120v plug may come in handy, plus you only use one spot in the panel. 20 amp to cover 15amp load (80% blah, blah...), and having the motor trip the...

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

    One can get into the weeds regarding the type of breaker etc.... As usual @oioioi sums it up. A little deeper, if the draw is actually 15 amps, breakers and circuits are typically rated at 80% load so 20 amp breaker (20X80%, 16 amps), 12 gauge (20 amp) wire and you are set. 12/2 unless a...

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

    I tend to use a rope saw for those situations, just cut it from the ground. If you have a good one it is fast once you get the technique down (but don't drop the branch on your head!).

    Eating out

    When family or friends come from out of town and we are going out to eat where to go is always a debate for us, we are paying. IMO we should go to something higher end that they don't typically have at home but that always results in all the Toronto is so expensive cliche (or small portion...

    Good news thread

    Years back my wife accidentally paid the 407 by mistake (online banking) when trying to pay another bill (clicked on the wrong one). And to top it off, it was for a car/account that was long gone and she noticed weeks later... I basically told her good luck getting that money back (I expected...

    Hudson's Bay closing

    To be fair when winding down something like this you need some staff to stay to the end. Most people if they know they are losing their jobs with no severance in a few months are looking for a jobs now and there is a risk you end short people before the last days. How do they solve that?? As...

    Has anyone else been sick more than normal this winter?

    We got hit late fall/early winter with the bad chest cold that was going around. It took over a month to get rid of the congestion. There was also a bad head cold...

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    For casual no specific timeline trips and pre smart phone we started our day fairly early and around 4PM we would stop and look for a motel/hotel. If they were booked up (or too many $$$) at that exit we went to the next, always had a room before dinner. There was some pre planning if we were...
