I used to eat Spam. For a while I even thought I was being healthy by eating Spam Light.

If anyone is in the De Walt 20V ecosystem then Crappy Tire has a 50% off tools sale with some of the 20V tools at 50% off. Drill, reciprocating saw, circular saw, angle grinder etc. A few other items at 30% off too. Sale is until June 11th

I’m sold on the power ratchet. I just had to readjust my aftermarket cruiser pegs that I bolted to my crash bars to give me a different position to stretch out in on longer trips and usually it’s an exercise in loosening and tightening bolts multiple times until the position is right. The...

I once had a colleague describe hotdogs as eyelashes and bumholes in a casing. That kind of ruined them for me for a bit.

I like a destination ride so today I went out to look for Ardoch Spring which is a natural spring just off Ardoch Rd on River Rd. Ardoch Rd is just off the 509 north of Highway 7. Found it. As you turn into River Rd it's literally 20 seconds further down the road next to a large clearing on...

Maybe I’ll add some Dawn to it or something. Don’t want to swap one issue for another.

Must have been a crappy winter for mosquito control as they are rampant in my garden and they are massive this year. Trying something new this year. Bought a pack of 20 mosquito dunks off Amazon and I’ll be putting them in buckets of water around the garden to kill off the larvae. I’m hoping...

A better option… https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximum-1-2-in-drive-professional-grade-impact-socket-set-48-pc-crmo-0589146p.html On sale for 40% off ($99 down from $160) however I find the MSRP on a lot of crappy tire stuff to be inflated.

When it’s on sale the Mastercraft Maximum line of tools from Crappy Tire is pretty good I find and then some prices approach the cheaper Princess Auto stuff.

Occasionally I have a rummage in Princess Auto when I need to get something else from there. I don’t find much though. One thing they are good for are neodymium magnets with hooks that I use to put stuff around my gazebo (lights etc) that has a steel roof and a lack of hanging options. Years...

Irwin quick clamps sale at Rona. Everyone usually needs these at some point. Useful for a range of things. I’ve swapped the ends of clamps like these about before and used them as spreaders. $27 for 4 ($14 off)...

Man on Fire is pretty good. Wasn’t sure anyone could compete with Denzel but this is solid.

There’s a bunch of Rigid shop vacs on sale at Home Depot right now. Giant 60L reduced from $178 to 98 https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-nxt-60l-16-gal-5-0-peak-hp-wet-dry-shop-vacuum-with-filter-hose-and-accessories/1001657626 Then a bunch of models at various discounts and smaller in...

Double post

Cushings is cruel. Our old beagle had that. The side effects from the drugs were terrible and she had a stroke too. Sorry for your loss Crankcall. Words don’t help a lot but time will.

My problem with pneumatic stuff was by the time I realized I might need it I had to fight with stupid hoses, maybe oil up the tool, search for a correct fitting if it wasn’t there, fire up the compressor, wait until that was done. Or…slap a battery into the right tool and off to the races.

As well as being a tool junkie I’m also a web dumbass. Done though now.

I’m a bit of a tool bargain junkie so once again, if the mods read this perhaps a dedicated tool deals thread (combined with a consumables deals like oil/fluids/cleaners etc) might be a good idea? I’m a big believer that having the right tool for a job often makes things a lot easier so I tend...

My sister was at the Arsenal parade in London for the premiership title the other day. She sent me a pic. I replied with”what an utterly boring team to watch” and she hasn’t spoken to me since. I sincerely hope that Liverpool haven’t purchased a bunch of players made of glass and that this...

That’s the harness we have. It has a grab handle for the front and back. I think our dog has the start of dementia issues too as she has “sundowner” behaviour where she gets anxious at night now. We comfort her and keep quite a few lights on to lessen the issue. I’m glad I posted as your...
