My old hood. RIP

and the fakes A buddy and his wife dress like pirates and hop on his open pipe Harley for a ride through pristine cottage country. They stop for breakfast at a woodsy Range Rover tweed and leather place with a big patio. Blat, blat, blat, blat blat until the bike is parked and he wonders why...

It is my understanding that anyone that wears fake colours will regret it if they are caught by the real thing. So yeah, if you see colours, patches etc assume they are real and act appropriately. Where do you draw the line? There is a Christian biker club and they dress up like pirates so are...

I like some of the vintage 50s to 70s stuff but as daily drivers they have next to no safety features. Drum brakes, single brake lines, steel dash, no seat belts or crash protection etc. My budget for collectible stuff is maybe 0.1% of what I spend and gets me new tires for my bicycle. The big...

I've always wondered about the value of vintage cars. As fads change and younger people get interested the demand for the old stuff diminishes. According to the following video there are many games being played with six and seven figure stuff.

I made some crumpets yesterday and did them in a cast iron pan. It worked great. I heated the pan to about 400° F, poured the mix into the rings, then turned the heat down. The residual heat toasted the bottom and the lower heat followed through baking the starchy things. I make mine an inch...

A friend was having problems with skunks and them ignoring his bait. Someone from Hydro told him they use Kentucky Fried Chicken in their transformer traps. He caught them all and I stopped eating KFC because of the thought of eating skunk bait.

Just make sure the policy is for where the bike is to be ridden. I know someone who uses his cottage address for his vehicle insurance because it gives him really cheap rates. However the rates are supposed to be where the vehicle is garaged. I don't know what size claim is needed to trigger...

NS obviously didn't do the research, thinking it was like using cube taps or power bars in the kitchen. A lot of people aren't any smarter. I don't know what the learning curve will be like. Sixty percent of the population overloads their credit cards. There's an interesting psychiatric...

If a 5000 square foot lot is a million dollars that's $200 per SF. If six feet by fifty feet is hidden that's $60,000 of property that isn't obvious when the time to sell comes along. For Toronto, it's a good location and the neighbours are good so this isn't a sales spruce up. We like the...

Our overgrown hedge may be on its last days. While it looks good at a glance it is 10 to 12 feet thick and my neighbour and I are both losing about six feet of back yard. It sounds like he's willing to take the financial hit for the fence and I can do what I want on my side. The hedge is...

That works if you're not running a fleet where all the vehicles need a whole night's sleep. A delivery company in Nova Scotia ordered all new EV trucks and the utility wouldn't give them enough power to charge everything overnight. Heavy trucks have a different set of circumstances. I also...

Where was this. I agree with letting the car disappear. Outracing it would mean watching out for him catching up.

A friend's daughter manages about a half dozen dental offices for her boss, all across Ontario.

Yup, private equity. They're also going after health care clinics, funeral homes, RV parks. Pool money, give an indie a sum they can't ignore, take over the region, screw the clientele and often the banks and suppliers then disappear.

I wonder about cartels, particularly diamonds. How long does your money last when your net worth is propped up by an inventory that you yourself have overinflated?

As long as you don't go to Walmart for a bag of cheesies while wearing your pajamas, you're good Uber, Door dash undecided

It is fraud. CRA sees $10K go into the seller's bank account and they only sold $1K worth of stuff. Are they dealing drugs, laundering money? CRA is apparently using AI to get every penny that the Liberals need to recoup what Justin squandered.

99% correct. 1% ride for utility A 650 used to be a big bike. Now it's a starter. Goldwing 1800 owners want 2000. Boss Hoss with a SBC and now a big block?

Priced vet bills lately? If you didn't own a dog you could afford another bike.
