    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    If it was available in Canada...I'd put a deposit on it simply for the fact that it's a refundable $300 deposit. I'm keeping an eye on the upcoming Ford Maverick EV that's hitting the rumour mill. Still looking for an EV that will fit a family of 5 under 50k...not looking good. Looks like...

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

    Thought about it. But that’s a lot of cutting for not much return. Thinking 8 1x6 deck boards cut to size should do the trick. That or a 4x8 lattice sheet cut to size or just some stupid plywood cut into strips.

    You sure the gas is from the motorcycle exhaust? Or your personal one?

    Finished up True Grit….meh. Not the best. Not the worst. Didn’t know Spielberg was involved along with Coen brothers.

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

    Installed the flimsy gate…not the greatest but it’ll do the trick. Unfortunately I also ran out of wood and fence panels… So back to HD tomorrow for some cheap deck boards or anything to finish up the fence.

    Stocks

    I’m a big proponent of VGRO or VBAL as safe investments. In your 60s I’d push toward VBAL as it’s a less risky investment and more conservative approach. I’ll transition all my VGRO to VBAL around 55 years old or so.

    Stocks

    I thought / read that the SpaceX stock bought at IPO cannot be sold within 30 days in the entire market...except by the insiders that had benefits and they can cash in on the retail investors? Mind you I didn't pay much attention as I simply don't care.

    My buddy bought a handful of shares at IPO and he’s ****** because apparently he can’t sell for 30 days or so. Not sure of details but he’s pretty upset.

    This would be an interesting option if it came to Canada... https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/24/slate-autos-radically-simple-electric-truck-starts-at-24950/

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

    Just means less mowing! Can’t put it too close to the flowers because then they won’t get watered. Conditions from every angle. It’s not pretty up close…but it works.

    Started building the pool enclosure for the kids. Wife was a bit surprised how big it was and how much of her garden is gonna be hidden…

    Wear all day riding pants

    Yup. Sadly outside of leather...not many options will provide adequate protection in a longer slide. That's that pesky 'risk v reward' thing.

    Wear all day riding pants

    I removed the knee pads from my kevlar pants, but replaced them with proper fitting knee pads that strapped directly to my skin under the pants. Much more uncomfortable, but much more secure than loose fitting pads. I never did that with elbow pads, or back pad, as I kept the ones within the...

    Wear all day riding pants

    I’d recommend work pants (HH) or something similar as they’re heavy duty and fit fairly regularly. Heavier duty jeans can be comfortable but get very hot during the day. When I rode to work I would keep a spare shirt (or 3) at the office and a spare pair of pants / shoes so I can slip them...
