To ease my mind a little I keep my reloading stuff in explosives/flammables bags from Amazon.

No kids negates that issue! For a happy life you have to be happy with who you are with Happy with where you are Then a bit further down that list is happy with work. Work to live, not the other way round. Edit: doh. a bit slow on the uptake- we just see mousaka as a Greek lasagna for...

We bought a cheap mini chest freezer, put it in the garage and then cooked big home made meals like a lasagna or moussaka or something that we put into portions. Froze them and used them when we didn’t have a lot of time. Works out very well and is better than the stuff you buy.

Say no more often. Delegate work to competent people rather than micromanage.

Lots of gun stores have consignment sales. Have a look at SFRC online in the used section for instance. They will often be at a higher price than a private sale but it's also way less sketchy (I sold a gun in a parking lot, legally with all the i's dotted and t's crossed with PAL checked etc...

I didn’t check if they ship bikes. This place has great sales on some gear right now. This road bike is $500 down from $1300 https://www.northstarbicycle.ca/product/trek-domane-al-2-379121-1.htm Edit: $150 to ship a bike.

Thanks for the reminder. I used to have one but it kind of rusted away. Just ordered a new one. My wife will thank you for not having sweaty body armour draped over a sofa or the back of a door.

First big mountain bike ride on my e-bike today. Getting up hills with assistance is awesome but there's still work to do. My shoulders and arms ache right now, but it's a good ache. My body armour is soaked so I need to find out how to wash them properly. Two pedal strikes and a chain ring/...

Sporting life has some sale bikes. All different budgets but some limited sizes.

Hmm. Just to make things a little more complex these would be shares from a British company listed in GBP. Currently running at over $3k CDN per share once converted.

Fred Flintstone stuff is a lot simpler. I had to read up on different lever attachment types last night. Silly me thought they were all the same, a band clamp type thing that's tightened.

If a family member works for a company that gives out preferentially priced shares can that family member sign over some of those shares to someone else? I'd like to give my brother some cash in exchange for shares in the company he works for at the discounted rate.

Fun question. E-mountain bikes are a little different when it comes to shifting. The motors can intentionally apply a load for a short time after peddling (overdrive) which can make shifting a little different to a non motorized bike. In addition the extra torque from the motor can damage...

I went through this relatively recently and then went down a rabbit hole. I also haven’t cycled in forever but getting back into it is a lot of fun. For my commuter bike I got a mail order Decathlon gravel bike and then took it to a local bike guy to make sure it was set up ok. If I do it...

Thanks for that. I did an experiment with fractional shares for Costco a while back (over 1k a share at the time) and they seemed to get filled quite quickly but perhaps that was because it was a very active stock? I'm not a baller or Rockefeller so my trades are reasonably low $amounts. I...

What's the downside of fractional shares? My brokerage has a commission free fractional share purchase option. My suspicious nature says there must be a downside somewhere but all I can see is that I can't set a bid price for these I have to buy at market value. What's to stop me buying 10.1...

I don't have them for the dividends but as a practically worry free/no-need-to manage investment. Setting it up as DRIP just means there's one less thing to look at for me over the long term and I don't want to touch that cash for a long long time anyway. The one investment I got specifically...

We have a friend of a friend type who is a financial advisor that recommended S&P500 type ETFs like VFV for “set it and forget it” investments. My wife has that and I have TPU which is similar. They are both historically very steady over the long term, just make sure you have a DRIP set up for...

The clikvalves arrived. They were shipped from the UK and it took forever. They look great and there's a very positive “click” when they engage. I got three kits with adapters for pumps. I'll get to installing them in a bit. Seems straightforward. Take out presta cores, replace with clik...

Bit early to do a ghetto seasonal tire change.
