Gino Vanelli actually wrote a couple of pretty good songs, love the “Black Cars” video. Nobody has mentioned one of the all time greatest one hit wonders, Dan Hill with “Sometimes When We Touch”. Also honorable mention to Bruce Cockburn. Wow, so many with international hits.

I’ve always said that Canada has been blessed with some of the greatest songwriters and Joni Mitchell would be very close to the top of that list, having the voice of an angel certainly doesn’t hurt either. I would also add to that list Gordon Lightfoot, Bachman-Cummings, Neil Young,Robbie...

Truth is stranger than fiction…

Yes, there is such a place, I just drove through it today.

I’ve lived and breathed motorcycles my whole life but would never work in that industry.There’s better money in the building trades.I’ve only known 1 guy that made a decent living at it. He owned Oshawa Cycle Salvage and worked his butt off with his wife and really built that business. He got...

I’m almost through this. Just like the title says, interviews with some of the greatest filmmakers of Hollywood’s golden era. Most of the extensive interviews were conducted in the 70’s. Makes me realize how many great films I haven’t seen and how many I need to go back and watch again.

Chuck Norris doesn’t flush the toilet, he scares the sh_t out of it.

Every night before the Boogeyman goes to sleep he checks under his bed for Chuck Norris.

I totally forgot about those, I was thinking of the 4 door econobox that was a knockoff of a Fiat.

Let the Chuck Norris jokes begin. Not to be disrespectful but it’s such a huge part of his legacy, I’m sure he would approve. I’ll start… “When Chuck Norris makes breakfast he cracks open a chicken.”

Are you thinking of the Lada? They sold those in Canada in the early 80’s. I don’t think the two stroke Trabant was ever sold here.A friend of mine had a green Lada, I think they only came in one colour like the Model T.

My EDC, I never leave home without it. It’s a Buck 055.

I’m in Key West right now, weather is absolutely beautiful. We walked all through town yesterday meeting people from all over the US. I thought it was really odd that no one mentioned anything about the fact that the country had just entered a war hours earlier.Just another day in the USA.

I don’t think you can beat Costco’s prices and warranty. tirerack.com has great prices, will ship to Canada and is a great source for reviews but you have to find someone to install them.

Five years ago I would have agreed with you. I deal with ESA inspectors all the time and the discussion of current AFCI breaker requirements often comes up. Inspectors are usually on the scene after any house fire in their jurisdiction. More than one has said to me that they’ve seen fires that...

I think heat recovery systems are now required in new homes as well as high efficiency furnaces and AC.

I’m very risk adverse and my personal experience is that real estate works best for me.Buy something you can afford and plan on keeping it for ten years or more. I worked for almost 27 years for a holocaust survivor who came to Canada with nothing more than a suitcase. I’m pretty sure he’s...

I’m way too conservative to borrow money to invest at this stage in my life. My money has always been in long term real estate. I call it “The Bobo Maneuver”. Slow and steady wins the race.

The downward trend in the current housing market has me leaning towards working another year or two longer than I had planned which is ok. I’m going to be 63 in a few weeks ,I enjoy what I do and can make pretty good money at it with some tax benefits. Retirement is great but not much fun if...

Does anyone actually know the labour cost of rebuilding/servicing a typical front end, I think they’re basically all the same.I’ll tackle pretty much anything but that looks like one messy job.
