    What are you reading?

    Well... Very mixed feelings here. Is that Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report? Please tell me it's a different Stephen Colbert. D*mn. I just looked it up. It is that Stephen Colbert. The guy used to be funny before he got overly political. Tom Bombadil will probably be a trans woman in his...

    What are you reading?

    I'm glad you said that. I have the audiobook ready for my next listen, but I might borrow the hardcover from the library instead, after I finish The Martian.

    What are you reading?

    When I realized working at a factory was rotting my brain, and thought read would help (which I hated when I was in school), my cousin told me they were making movies for LOTR, so that's when I decided to buy the books and read them before the movies were released. Turns out it would take 3 or 4...

    Anyone cut their own clip on tubes?

    I'm in Brantford. We have Hunter Steel for that sort of thing. I wanted longer bars on my Katana to accommodate accessories, so I found a chrome straight bar from some off-road bike that was about 2.5' and cut them down to 2 custom lengths.

    What are you reading?

    I like all kinds of fiction, including fantasy. I'll give True Grit a read next. I'm currently reading The Martian, and listening to The End of Everything (a Scottish apocalyptic series following two teen sisters) and the Grey Man intermittently. For years LOTR was my favourite books because...

    RSP's & Wealth simple

    Thanks for the clarification. For the record, I did stat that I'm a "financial idiot". lol I was under the impression they were all managed, although for some, like gold, silver and copper ETFs, I did wonder what there was to manage. Again, I assumed they had managers choosing mining companies...

    RSP's & Wealth simple

    Wealth Simple, and I left some in Questrade to ride. I have TFSA and my kids' RESP at Wealth Simple. Their RESPs are doing better than my TFSA despite similar investments. This is how I see it, to buy and sell stocks you need to know what you're doing, and have a LOT in information available to...

    Covering a bike in permit parking areas?

    Yes, I can attest. My bike was blown over twice while covered and on the centre stand. It took the second time for me to realize it wasn't some a**hole that pushed my bike over.

    RSP's & Wealth simple

    Tangerine and Scotia are practically the same bank. Same owner anyway. Scotia is their brick and mortar, while Tangerine is online only. I haven't dealt with RSPs, only TFSAs. I transferred from Tangerine to Questrade, then Tangerine to Wealth Simple after I found out Wealth Simple allows you...

    Anyone turkey hunting this weekend

    That's a strange thing to say. There's only one thing that bacon doesn't improve the flavour of, and that's bacon. Because, you know, it's already bacon. 😂

    Anyone turkey hunting this weekend

    Sounds simple enough. I'll take my son and dog out for a hike. The crown land isn't large, but should have plenty of game. If you're in Southeastern Ontario, you're likely familiar with it. It's the one on Safari Road. Funny story: I sat in a blind from early morning till mid afternoon a couple...

    Anyone turkey hunting this weekend

    I want to, but I have no friends or relatives with property I can hunt on, or any that hunt. Crown land is scares around here, and I need a mentor to show me how to find the birds' track ahead of time so I'll know where to setup. I spend $40 on a tag a couple years ago after picking up a...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Funny, I say something similar. I swear by the Dog Training for Dummies book, and have told people the to techniques in that book work equally well for kids. I raise all 3 of my kids using that method. For instance, if you tell a dog "No", then it's "no", final. No changing your mind. If you...

    Where to get a puppy?

    I went with Origen Puppy. I used it with my Boxer (expected 8-10 year life span), and she lived to be 13 before we had to put her down for health reasons. Her niece, a Boxer/Husky/Border Collie mix, lived to be 15. We didn't use Origen their entire lives. We switched it up occasionally, but...

    Where to get a puppy?

    So, you ended up getting the exact same breed I suggested to you, but the size wifey wanted. Win-win. :ROFLMAO: Crongrats! I highly suggest you buy and read Dog Training for Dummies. You'll have no reason for obedience training if you follow that book.

    This is were I ordered last. $35 + $20 shipping for $55. But 6 cans is $198 + $20 shipping for $218 for 6 cans. That's $36 per 250g can. Best price I can find...

    Coffee

    I rarely get to Ottawa, but if I take a trip to Quebec to see family, it would be worth a stop. I've never heard of Naomi, Grace or Calabar. Are those brick and mortar stores? We have a few African stores in Brantford, but none carry it. I tried contacting the company in Tanzania for years. I'd...

    Coffee

    Since my wife turned me onto her native Africafe with its great nutty and hint-of-cocoa flavour, I’ve struggled to find it. Her family always brings several large cans when they visit every few years, but the scamdemic put a stop to their visits—although they’re planning a trip next spring. For...

    Imagine if you will

    I should have used AI the rewrite my last comment. It's long, choppy, and likely difficult to follow. lol
