    This is gross

    Hey; don't knock it. My first ever job was cleaning up barf in the stairwells of the Bouliva Tower at the CNE when some parent fed their kids junk food then told them to run up the glass encased stairwell to the top. Great pay, hardly any work most days but yeah; haven't been able to stand the...

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I used paper maps for 30 years and was quite comfortable navigating with them. Doesn't mean I'd use them today rather than a much easier and more accurate electronic navigation system. People move on; it's called progress.

    You spoke of driving around with your Mom's ashes in your van and how creepy it seemed. I once had to take my sister's ashes down to New Brunswick for burial in the family plot there. Didn't know what to expect going through security at Pearson with her ashes (in an urn) in my carry-on. I was...

    D-Day

    The Lancaster flys over my house in Niagara Region almost every Saturday during the summer months. You can hear it coming long before you can see it. $3,500.00 per person for an hour's ride from Hamilton down over the falls and back. One of those once in a lifetime, bucket list things I suppose.

    What are you doing to the property?

    You have an Empire now. There's no leisure time when you're running an Empire :p

    Etiquette

    Having too many people at the scene of an accident can create more problems than benefits. There was already someone there on the phone (likely to 911) so what could you hope to do if you went to the scene, other than lend comfort to the rider. You didn't see the accident happen so the cops...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I'd be OK with residential mail delivery once a week. 95% of what I get goes straight to the recycle bin anyway.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Well, I for one will be thinking twice about having that second beer at a buddy's house or the BBQ get together if I'm driving/riding home and I suppose, that's the result they're hoping for.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    OPP has initiated MAS (Mandatory Alcohol Screening) across the board for all GTA roads they patrol. (What are their boundaries for "GTA" anyway?) Everyone stopped for whatever reason by an OPP officer will be issued a demand for breath sample on the spot no matter if the officer suspects...

    So....election in 2024!?

    In that both parents are still alive now, I can almost guarantee you that as life happens going forward, things will change and any plans made today will need a rethink at some point. Our family went through a similar process with my parents 25 years ago. We had it all figured out and everyone...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Maybe he's from Brazil? Their currency is the Real (Reais plural). $6,500 Reais would be $1,718.00 CAD.

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I have the $1000.00 56V, self propelled, twin blade Ego mower that's 3 years old now. It's got the same plastic deck as they all do and it's still like brand new. The thing that surprised me was that the undercarriage of that plastic deck doesn't accumulate baked on grass clippings that need to...

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I've never seen Ego products go on sale yet. They seem to feel they don't have to discount their brand and yes, they're not cheap. One thing to keep in mind is whatever cordless mower you choose, research if you can buy the same brand name in a trimmer & a blower that can use the same battery &...

    Electric Lawn Mower?

    I bought an Ego self-propelled three years ago. Best mower by far I've ever had. The self propell unit has about 7-8 speed settings. Lots of power in the fully charged battery. I can do both back & front on one charge and that would be about 5,000 sq. ft. Comes with a charger of course. The...
