Heavy wet snow in York Region Wednesday night. Lots of ploughing. Everything salted.

You need an A license!

My late buddy's Honda 750 Shadow will be coming up for sale soon. Early example, meticulously maintained.

Hey GG! We were typing the same advice at the same time. Great minds think alike! :^)

My best friend is a lifelong pro and comes from a long line of beekeepers, so I know a thing or two. Its his full time livelihood in Alberta. He produces thousands of pounds a year. $24 a pound is robbery! When I run out of free stuff from my buddy I buy it for 15 a kilo from Rae's in Holland...

Good advice here. As long as you own property you will always need a saw once in a while. Trees grow and storms knock them down. Get a small Stihl. It will last forever. I have 2. My 034 is close to 40 years old and runs like new. It has done a LOT of heavy work and never needed repair...

I could never understand why they make jackets with down-is-open zippers. Seems ass backwards to me, but most are that way. I have only one that zips down to close. Its an old Jordan/Joe Rocket.

My TD renewal just came in at about 100 bucks less than last year.

Mmmm. I always loved the smell of burnt bean oil at the Copetown Motocross races.

And unlike Lego, those little metal bits can possibly be repurposed. Here's an underwater camera housing my Dad built in the 1950s, using a pressure cooker. The gear and chain to turn the focus ring are genuine Meccano.

If your house is anything like mine, eventually all those little pieces end up in one big bin.

Keep it and have fun. It's paid for. (I think) But, at the risk of diverting from the thread, here's a wee tip for you. One of my riding buddies died last year. He was a short legged fellow, and left behind two nice bikes that his wife wants to sell. One is a fully decked out Triumph Tiger...

Looks much better! The strap will break in and acquire more curvature over time, and only get better. (y)
