    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    We had a reliance rental when we bought this house six years ago . Called to buy out the contract , they said they needed fourteen hundred for a fifteen yr old heater . Waited a yr and it was eight hundred bucks ? Bought it since we paid about six hundred a yr . It’s a racket but there are...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Makes sense there are “levels” of manufacturing in heaters and probably A/C units and all that stuff . I’d gladly buy the better product if available to me , the labour to change stuff is almost the same as the unit cost . The less often you pay it the better . Sent from my iPhone using...

    Where to get a puppy?

    And at my pups first “wellness” check we found Giardia ( poop parasite ) and ear mites ( common in puppies) . All very treatable, just some drops and pills . Going to a respectable breeder with good reputation isn’t a guarantee. She’ll be fine , just two weeks of diligence. Sent from my iPhone...

    Where to get a puppy?

    All it takes is one guy running Fido in a schoolyard , Fido squats one out a hundred yards away and guy is too lazy to pick it up . No more schoolyards to run in . Like dogs on beaches , near soccer pitch , few bad incidents and they get closed Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    From what I remember my landscape friend said most stamped decks would last years if anybody ever cleaned out the wet composting grass clumps . It’s an awkward job but slows the rust out by about a decade . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    COVID and the housing market

    @mimico_polak don’t forget the winter rental for Collingwood skiing and sledders running east . Collingwood thinks it’s Whistler right now for pricing. We used to rent a Wasaga /Stayner place for the winter for sledding and skiing . Then a Wasaga place for windsurfing in the summer . If Tony’s...

    The new lawn tractors are junk.

    Look at what the municipality and landscapers are buying . They do not want any downtime if avoidable . Sadly they do not have a five K budget cap either . Good used “might” be a good option. When I needed a lawn tractor I had a Kubota , small diesel and built like a full size farm tractor ...

    COVID and the housing market

    Condo boards are made of recruits from usually within the building , you may be a teacher or dentist , doesn’t mean you know how a building should work. The list of condo board directors that have a cousin Vinny in the paving business is a mile long . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    COVID and the housing market

    The Toronto power of sale numbers are housing investors that are literally declaring the project over and walking . Adding the condo fees into the financed costs and looking at the time to break even let alone turn a profit and the party is over. Brampton so I am told by my broker pal is mostly...

A company loosing hundreds of millions created an app so my lazy ass doesn’t need to walk to the mailbox. Am I really old or is making a hundred foot walk once or twice...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Dog training is like new parents , often the bad kid , isn’t bad , his parents are idiots . We have trained several ourselves , my mom ran a kennel , but we may do formal training to help with socializing her . Never a bad idea . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
