    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    If you want to go full parking lot cowboy, cut circles in the rear wall of your truck so one side of subs is outside the cab and one inside. That turns your entire cab into a sub box and as a bonus dumps half the sound outside to annoy everybody else.

    That's existed for decades. Speaker goes under the hood. Mic inside the cab. Normally they were a combo PA/siren.

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    I suspect that is determined by jurisdiction. Ultimately, it may not really matter. You could stick the parents with the fines now or you could let the fines ride attached to the kid and they need to be paid before they ever get a license. Is evading police a criminal charge in california? That...

    E bikes rampaging Toronto streets

    Cop in California chasing electric bike and giving him a ticket longer than your arm. Cop was funny.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Use a couple of your live edge slabs (left long so they are like passing between two mountains) as a feature.

    Obviously we don't know the whole picture and aren't licensed to give financial advice but given your paragraph, I would strongly advise doing what you could to push CPP to 70. That gives him almost double the monthly payments for life. To accomplish that, he may need to burn through the rental...

    You do a quiz that helps determine your risk tolerance, desired return, capacity to take risk, etc. From the answers, the robo advisor can pick investments that try to fit your profile. Much safer than people with little knowledge or interest picking their own. In the past, people with little...

    Yes but the vast majority of people deploy capital very differently in RE vs not-RE. I agree with you but not only do very few people use leverage for non-RE investments, a lot are overweight in "investments" that barely match inflation as they feel safe at the time. On a slightly related but...

    I know someone that tried that. He sold his big (>5000 sq ft plus pool on ravine lot) north york home for ~1.3M about 20 years ago as he thought valuations were insane and the crash was coming. He rented for about 5 years. At that point, his old house was worth ~3M. He built a much smaller house...

    Working in the middle east, it's not that hard to make well over 200K per year (and no income tax iirc). Keep your head down, save >50% and your warchest can get big quickly. A decade of that can have close to $2M invested. A lot of the dividend stock influencers are using covered calls funds...

    WS or QT or one of them put in a penalty for selling before 30 days. You can do it but that locks you out of all future IPO's. The whole thing reeks and I am glad I am not a part of it.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    It looks nice. You're starting to run out of lawn with two sheds, gazebo, trampoline, playhouse and pool.

    Vevor top handle saw passed round one. Started in a few pulls and didn't do anything concerning. You can't lean on it as expected but it cut full bar without bogging down. Vibration is worse than good saws. Much faster and easier to prune trees than the previous solution of pruning blade in a...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Garage thread or house thread? I picked up a La Pavoni PUBS. It has been in storage for a while. It's in great shape just needs some cleaning and I'll probably split the boiler to inspect condition. I will refurb it and then decide whether to keep or sell it. 1500 watt 120V so it can easily be...

    Right peg, left peg?

    Bicycle is easier. Lay it over on the left side, step over and stand the bike back up between your legs.

    Barrie - RIP

    I am assuming this was the 63 yo guy yesterday at Big Bay Point and Hurst. Condolences to the riders friends and family. Left turning cage in front of a Harley.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Why not both? I have digital copies to make easy changes and occasionally print a copy to keep in a convenient location.

    Google docs or a file in Dropbox make multi-device easy.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Adrian has a variety of bikes. The Vespa wants a much lower front tire pressure. I don't know how it would behave at 10 psi above recommended.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I like the approach @timtune took with it written right on the bike. In his case, he made it very visible. It could easily be done in a less conspicuous spot though. Removes all the braining and need for internet when checking tires.
