Key fobs are very convenient, until they aren't. So far🤞, I have not found myself in a situation where I shut off the car and the fob is not with me. However, I do a similar thing to myself almost every day. I wear several different jackets depending on whether I'm working, or if the weather...

I agree with the first part, but disagree that Mahomes is the best QB today. Apparently he wasn't on Superbowl Sunday! In retrospect I should have watched just to see that arrogant jerk and the rest of the team come up against a worthy opponent.

Another reason to own an old bike. My 1997 ST1100 came with two keys and no chip. When I bought my certified used car at a Mazda dealer they tried to tell me that they only had one key. I told them they would need to go and find another in their parts department or the deal was off. They agreed...

I'll probably pass on watching the game this year because I'm not a fan of either team and really don't care who wins. I really hate Mahomes and the preferential treatment KC seems to get from the officials. I also can't listen to rap or hip-hop, so the half-time show is no draw for me.

This really pisses me off. Canada Post should have been allowed to crash and burn before another bailout was promised. All this will do is prolong the inevitable and cost taxpayers yet another billion dollars. The entire operation needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt from the ground up...

My Mazda CX3 has auto on headlights, but as others have noted there are times the headlights don't come on when they really should. In those cases I always turn the full lighting package on myself. Fortunately this car also has auto off on the headlights so you can't possibly leave them on and...

No schools on Parkside as far as I remember. These cameras can be placed wherever there is a "Community Safety Zone", which can be created by the municipality pretty much anywhere they like with minimal criteria. The municipality can also set the speed limits to any artificially low number they...

I have to nominate myself in this category. On Dec 13th on my way back from skiing at Blue I needed to take evasive action to avoid a collision that would have been my fault. Had a brain fart and started across an uncontrolled intersection on 89 and didn't see the car in the eastbound right...

I recall reading somewhere the Road Watch program in Caledon was discontinued. Is it still in effect?

When we lived at a townhouse with a single driveway just long enough for one car, I bought a corded electric snow thrower and found it worked great. That little unit could shoot the snow across the roadway and saved my back. After we moved to a detached home a couple of years ago I went looking...

We had problems like this at our last house with package deliveries by CPC. It seemed like if there were more packages than space for them in the superbox, the carrier either didn't bring them on the route, or pre-selected the ones that would be put in the superbox. The rest had the cards filled...

There's was plenty of snow on the ground from Orangeville north back on December 13th when I went up to Blue. I've been out once more and will be going again tomorrow with my son and grandson. Sorry it took so long to respond. I haven't been able to get onto the site since the server change. I...

I've done that! Back when I was working in the Yonge / Sheppard area I occasionally found myself in Collingwood on my way home to Orangeville.

I believe $31/hour is very good money to deliver the mail. I also do not believe delivering mail is as physically demanding as working in construction, or on an assembly line where the work is non-stop and you are under the watchful eye of your employer every minute of the day. I agree that the...

Official start of winter for me as I put the ski box on the roof of the car. The skis go into it today and I'm going skiing tomorrow!

It was a natural progression for me from a bicycle to a motorcycle. At 14 I acquired an old 50cc Honda step-through that didn't run. I tinkered with it enough that I was able to get it running. My friends and I took turns riding around the island in the centre of Cabot Court in Etobicoke until...

They were good on the icy patches at the stop signs here in town. The ABS didn't trigger when stopping and I didn't notice any wheel spin on acceleration. Granted, with AWD I don't usually feel any wheel spin, the car just goes when you hit the gas. I can't wait to test them on a snow covered...

I have one on my side yard. It's fine. Nice and close to get the mail.

I always clear the snow off the tail lights, but for some reason completely forget about the licence plate.:oops:

I've always changed over to snow tires in mid-October and leave them on until the end of April. We have had snow on the ground before Halloween and into April up here in Orangeville so it's best to be prepared. This year I tried something new. I bought new All-Weather tires to replace the...
