    Daniel Ciccone-Tire Change and General Repair

    I use the same grease for the same application. It's my go to grease for all kinds of applications. I use it on everything e.g. cars, motorcycles, firearms, power equipment, etc.

    Daniel Ciccone-Tire Change and General Repair

    Would that mean he does a single front or rear for $30? I go through roughly two rear tires for every front so I'm often only doing one tire at a time.

    Growing up one of my best friends' dad owned a furniture business. Somewhere along the way he started selling/furnishing to a maple leaf or two. After a while he had players from across a generation buying furniture from him. His son, my friend got into finance and was a broker for high dollar...

    Canada post rant

    My postie drives a right hand drive second generation roughly twenty year old CR-V with CP signage all over it. I'm assuming It's a personal vehicle. It's in great shape for its age. I regularly see cars 5-10 years old in worse shape.

    3d printing motorcycle parts

    Part of my job involves designing components for use in robotics in space. We have onsite fabrication capabilities. I have prototyped parts that were 3D printed and machined in metal. Interestingly, we have been machining more and more than we were in recent years. If you consider the print...

    Occupations

    I graduated in mechanical engineering specializing in automotive. Which led me to automation in automotive manufacturing, including robotics. Current employer poached me and I've never been happier. I have interesting problems to solve, for applications I find "cool" e.g. robotic arms to be used...

    French Fries

    This is the truck. She mentioned it in her social media as recently as last summer. I guess that five dollar bill for a potato didn't seem that good of a deal on the other end after all.

    French Fries

    I met a girl back in university with a bit of a country/redneck background. Her family bought a fry truck and she was telling me about it one day. Turns out they are freaking profitable. The raw materials (mostly potatoes, oil and fuel) are super cheap compared to the price of fries. As long as...

    Anyone here work in sales at Ford?

    Part of me thinks hmm that's a good feature. And then I quickly go to thinking that's sketchy as ****. What are your thoughts as an owner?

    Canada post rant

    I live in a rural area. I have security cameras and noticed that my mail carrier never actually tried to deliver items that required signature. She would simply drop the notification slip in my mailbox road side. I work from home quite often and one day I noticed an item requiring signature was...

    what r u paying for weed these days ?

    I hear similar timing recommendations but I swear it's for people further south. I almost always have better results slightly later. I know a lot of people that recommend the May long weekend. I often find there is threat of frost still. And baby plants are much more fragile and sensitive than a...

    Battery Booster

    I have the largest motomaster I believe eliminator jumper box with a bunch of outlets on it as well as a smaller jumper box with a pump built into it. I bought a Stanley unit mostly because my previous employer had a site with thousands of employees and at the front security, they have the same...

    Duties and DHL

    I bought a watch off Walmart's site. It shipped DHL from a company in the US. No taxes, free shipping, no duties or import fees and over a hundred cheaper there than I could find elsewhere. However it looks.like DHL only got it as far as customs. Canada Post took over from there.

    what r u paying for weed these days ?

    I've got a couple strains going. The lemon diesel started going purple for fall colours recently. I've got some Bruce Banner as well but not quite as ripe yet. Based on trichomes I'll probably start harvesting the more ripe plants in a week or two at most, weather depending. I've got another BB...

    AnyGlove - TouchScreen Glove Applicator

    I use an OtterBox case with my phone. I get the impression it is more protective than quadlock's. I've been thinking about running an old retired Garmin that still has lifetime map updates on my ram mount.

    AnyGlove - TouchScreen Glove Applicator

    I do the exact same thing on gloves with and without the touch feature as I find it works even better than gloves with the feature. I ordered the thread from AliExpress. Cost me under $5 for enough thread to do gloves for decades. Just search for conductive thread. It's surprisingly accurate...

    QuadLock - where to buy

    Sorry to hi-jack this thread. But a similar topic with the appropriate crowd. I used to use a Ram Mount for years. I can't say that I've personally had issues with any camera features. I had an old nexus phone with memory issues after 4 years of daily use that I used on the Ram Mount anytime I...

    Dealer's response

    When it comes to my daily driver car, I appreciate the convenience of the dealership making it so that I show up with trade in, transfer plates over and drive away. That to me is worth a lot of the loss in trade in value. When it comes to toys like motorcycles or a second fun car, I'm willing...

    $500-ish helmet recommendations

    I've got an HJC RPHA 11. I prefer ECE over Snell rated. Super light. Has a bunch of features the Shoei RF 1200 didn't have that the 1400 now does have like a better latch design. For a better price and with a better interior pad. Very light. Additional accessories like an extra pin lock or visor...
