Our house has mourning doves nest out front regularly. We’ve witnessed more than one hawk grab breakfast or lunch right in front of our kitchen window. It’s amazing to see and always wish we had a way to video or take a pic as it happens. Which reminds me last fall, riding the parkway on...

No doubt! We also did a road trip with 3 kids (all boys) from St Catharines to base at Cocagne New Brunswick. Random stops, road snacks, road side stop to strip to our undies and take a dip in the ocean which happened to be warmer than expected! Kids still talk about it to this day. The...

Yes, very tempting to add a Triumph Scrambler to the garage. The RE Bear is a nice kit too. I think a used Triumph Scrambler is more likely.

Quite enjoyed this review of the smaller bike

Bonnie is close to ready for spring rides. I’m not crazy about the look of the windshield but, it does block the cool spring air. One bar end mirror installed. Left side planned for tomorrow. And clean up the crap on the bench.

Age of kids? Sun and fun, we’ve done Riviera de Maya and did some excursions like swim in a Cenotes as well as swim with the dolphins and catarham boat tour taking us to a reef to snorkel etc. Great memories and reasonable cost. Bartered a lot and kids had fun being included in making deals...

Would anyone cross shop with a VStrom? With Suzuki moving to a twin and similar displacement and believe the price point is comparable. Off to YouTube…….and these really aren’t my style but, maybe one day when they do look attractive to me! As I look at my old standard T100 with love……

I’m a basic level tablet guy. Meaning, it’s used for replying to forum posts, watching YouTube or Prime and other things like banking or shopping. I have a bunch of photos that I have on it as well. Otherwise, that is the extent of its use. I have an iPad. It’s not a pro with a lot of...

Ferry provides tie downs for motorcycles to the deck.

MacGyver that stuff and have a go!

No doubt! And I’m old enough not to care what others think of me while driving it. My experiences with the PHEV for work has been positive as I find places to plug in while conducting business. The range of the 500 would keep me closer to the west end of the GTA and avoid trips to Whitby...

Yup! For a second car, run about town, it’s not a bad option. Might have to tint the windows to avoid being seen or put a bumper sticker on saying it’s the wife car or something like that. Some folks get golf carts to run around the neighborhood. I’d get one of these. 😆 The maintenance...

Tempting! $250 with taxes in a month and 24,000 annual kms over 3 years. Might need tires at the end of the lease but, can’t imagine maintenance costs too high. Brakes? Maybe from lack of use? Oil changes? There are some fluids but, suspect they are lifetime and no change required. Hand...

Suspect over $1k for the AT leaving $700 and change for the KLR. I know you can’t ride them both full time but, doesn’t seem out of line. I think I’m around $800 for a 2012 Bonnie at replacement cost of $5k. Not sure what the multi bike owners do to keep insurance costs down or, they have a...

Installed LED headlight on the Bonnie. Also want to install bar end mirrors but, the current end plugs are a bear to remove. Stripped out the allen socket on one end. Lesson learned and other side remains untouched after a small attempt indicates would have same result. Apparently they are...

Working from home and looking forward to a long weekend with this fella.

My FIL burns it along with a bunch of crap. Makes the fire hotter! 🫣

Many municipal waste stations take oil, paint cans, antifreeze etc free. Not sure about GTA locations but, Niagara takes all that stuff free.

Take a village in an African country. The issues they face is poverty and disease. Yes, there are crimes of rape and murder and other senseless acts. However, my point is they don’t seem to encounter the issues as it relates to gender, mental illness, anxiety, climate change or even...

Recall training can be developed for dogs of all ages and breeds. Find a place quiet and open space, start small and work on small separation of distance and wait time. Not all dogs respond to treats but, many respond well to them. Sometimes simple praise is reward enough or a toy like...
