    LA Fires

    To be fair, the attraction is living surrounded by trees in the hills not everyone wants to live in the prairies or some treeless suburbs full of track housing.... Not much different than say living in North Van and many other places Climate change/low rain for years on end throws a wrench into...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Transmissions on new vehicles are also not cheap... and also long lead times. Long term 10+ years old there is always the possibility of a rebuilt of wrecker eng/trans. I don't think we are there yet at scale with EV batteries?

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    My guesses... either really bad luck to have two bad packs in a row OR the dealer messed up the first replacement one. In the end how many have they swapped or was this the first one this dealer ever did? At least the bumpers did not fall off....

    TD Meloche..........

    $220 US or CDN. If US that is almost $3800 CDN per year.

    Coyotes

    As much as people walking around with radios playing annoys me noise is a good thing. It is like back country hiking with a bear bell, it prevents the surprise meetings that could turn bad. If the animal is stalking you it does not matter much one way or another...

    Coyotes

    I think the best bet is to carry something that is obviously for another purpose that can be used if required. MP has the right idea. Reasonable manner or not, something that serves only as a weapon is more likely to get you in trouble even if not used. Maybe the courts will decide no harm no...

    What happens if KTM goes bust?

    Liquidation may be pre, during and post many items on that list. But it can also very likely be the hard stop end. I see Saab as a "recent" automotive example. Not 100% exactly the same starting point but a possible to likely end point and journey.

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

    24 years, the usual past due to redo what was previously done.... the never ending loop.

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

    I am so far behind on the current major projects the wife would not dare add to the list. She also knows my response will be you know where the tools are.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    My guess is they went to the raised ones (vs the ground mounted boxes/pedestals) to prevent vandalism (painting and stickers on the cameras). Doesn't look like that is working out.

    Stocks

    I realized it pretty quickly and did not get burned but I used to do more or less the same (just type into Google). Once on Google searching TD the first one that popped up (sponsored ad) was a phishing site, looked legit. I noticed the URL was off but I am sure many got burned. I would expect...

    What happens if KTM goes bust?

    Assuming they are not bought up... Looking at the automotive market. Some after they fail will see a small spike in used prices as aficionados of the brand buy knowing this may be the last ones they will own. This is true for current but longer tooth models as there is a parts base. A recent new...

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

    There are still B&M appliance parts places around, the one I use has good customer service and I never get an incorrect part...

    Let Me Know Your Thoughts?

    LV was total incompetence he didn't even ram into the building through those glass doors. My guess is the cyberturd would have plowed right into the building if that was the goal.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Red light cameras, photo radar and even the ETR take rear photos, not front. Many jurisdictions outside of Ontario do not require front plates on cars and of course vehicles like motorcycles in Ontario do not have front plates. I also vaguely remember there was some case law about front photos...

    WTF! It is 364 days to Christmas and my neighbour has their Christmas lights and decorations out and turned on!

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

    Thanks, picked one up (blanket) for the kitchen. They also had a small spray can fire extinguisher so I grabbed that as well, I already have bigger ones near the door and fireplace....

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

    Fire blanket is on the new year's shopping list. What was somewhat scary is most of the family had no idea what to do. When the fire hit I covered it up with a large t-towel (poor-man's fire blanket) that slowed it down. I was yelling at my wife to get the baking soda... when I pulled the...

    Santa Tracker

    I still remember them doing this on TV when I was a little kid, interrupting regular broadcasting. They were scrambling jets to intercept an unknown object coming from the north (still cold war back then) and I remember being freaked that they were going to shoot Santa down.... until the pilots...

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

    I put out a decent kitchen fire.... does that count? Luckily I was right there (some could say I was the cause....) and caught it fast so no major damage.
