Brigs & Stratton , Techumseh , early Rotax , all made a good engine . Apprently too good . We have a Morse engine from the early nineteen hundreds that will start on the second crank . One hundred and twenty years later , magneto was upgraded in the nineteen fifties and the carb got new seals...

We had an above ground at the house we owned when the kids were smaller , twelve x sixteen oval , best three grand we spent . I put a full size sand filter from an inground on it on it so I wasn’t buying silly cartridge filters . Kids learned the basics of swimming, not freaking from heads under...

I’d argue against that to some degree ( see what I did there ) , yes there is a correlation between a nursing degree and being a nurse , however a bachelors degree teaches critical thinking and how to learn and is often a benchmark in a hiring process . It shows an employer at least you can put...

My cash comes in through my boat club , run a huge regatta and now you have twenty Gs to deal with . I just take it in two or three drops to avoid conversation at the bank , it’s legit money , just a pain in the arse . I learned personally years ago how to deal with large amounts of cash that...

It may not be illegal but a lot of companies really don’t like it . Depositing ten Gs is a royal pain , when I have deposits over ten I take it over two or three days . Car dealers in FLA will not take it , they sell the Ferrari and a month later the Feds take the cash as proceeds from crime ...

if you saw all the attendees , it looked a lot like Chinguacousy . Dozens of tickets handed out , fireworks confiscated and a couple weapon charges . I'll sit on a boat and watch the show, I'm not wading through the crowd of strollers , roller skates and families the size of small cattle herds...

I spent the last couple days helping my slum lord buddy ready his last house in the KW area for sale , he had three rentals up there for a couple decades , the rental market is still good , but getting the cash out of the houses now and into the market is more appealing. He is keeping the four...

If an apprenticeship isnt availble out of the gate , I'd look at a trade college to get a start. I dont know about electrical or plumbers but I got a lot of hours off my ticket for higher education.

Happy post Canada Day , we had a distance race with the sailboat to kill the afternoon, got in 15 mins before the monsoon, ribs and beer till the fireworks started in Bronte . Huge police presence kept the idiots in line and the day was a great success. Happy being Canadian.

Full disclosure , Im a finacial idiot , sheer luck and coaching put me where I am . So the coaching . @madmike is 100% , the branch level finacial advisors took the short course and are "in" . Actual wealth advisors as you can find at RBC dominion security or Scotia McLeod are different and...
