That paint looks really good for spray bombs. I’ve been doing some research and there are some very inexpensive, user friendly HVLP spray guns that do a nice job once you’ve got them dialed in. That’s probably the route I’ll go, my RD is not going to be a concourse restoration but if it were I’d...

Very nice! Where did you get the paint done if you don’t mind me asking.Ive got a 77 RD400 I’m considering restoring.

The new building is fabulous, they managed to get a lot of corporate donations that allowed them to build it. The Canadian Automotive Museum that I volunteer at is not so fabulous, it’s a good museum but they struggle to maintain their 105 year old building on a shoestring budget, also ongoing...

I remember in the late 70’s or early 80’s there was some kind terrorist bombing in Toronto at Litton Industries or something like that, my memory is a little fuzzy. Anyway, CTV news did a segment on how easy it was to get dynamite in Toronto. They sent one of their reporters to a police station...

Did a little road trip with the wife today to Peterborough to go to the Canadian Canoe Museum. On the way we came across this historic plaque just north of Keene. Every time I have a bad day now, I’m going to read this and say to myself there’s always somebody that’s had a worse one, like Jim...

…also September is a beautiful month to go. July and August can be quite hot and a lot more tourists.

Been to Boston many, many times, one of my favorite destinations. Gone there by bike and by Porter out of The Toronto Island airport. Be forewarned if you’re riding or driving , plan your arrival around rush hour, traffic is as bad or worse than Toronto. Highly recommend the Old Town hop off and...

There’s 2 different ferries you can take across Lake Michigan that save you the hassle of going through Chicago. The one I took was an old ship that originally took railway cars carrying ore across the lake, the SS Badger, it was quite pleasant. The other is a high speed ferry but I’ve never...

You don’t.

Definitely do the return trip through the US. After driving the Trans Canada the last thing you want to do is turn around and do it again. Great scenery and the roads are much better.

Funny how you can make a great movie that stands the test of time like Goin’ Down The Road on a shoe string budget and then there’s this movie. Someone thought it would be a good idea to throw truckloads of money at a bunch of coked out rock stars to be in a movie and it would be some kind of...

“Goin’ Down The Road” is how I remember Toronto as a kid in the late sixties/early seventies. Great movie , I love the scene where they walk by the used car lot and there’s a hemi Roadrunner for sale and I have see Goin’ Down The Road at least seven times. Oddly, I always thought of it being a...

“There’s lottsa’ doctorin’ and lawyerin’ jobs in Toronto!!”. John Candy’s greatest performance in my opinion.

Colonel Klinc was also Jewish

Debbie was my ex wife’s name who was also a blond, I’ll let you figure it out.

If I had worked on that I would be making some lame wire pulling joke but I’m not going there.

I did another job for a young Iranian guy in an adjacent unit in the same building, he made millions mining Bitcoin. It’s unbelievable what goes on in some of those units.
