Power was out here for 50 hours. Lots of trees down. More freezing rain about to hit.

I walked through a Bay store today. Wasn't thinking about watches and didn't see anything like that. Lots of empty shelves. 15% off was the max throughout. Even at 50% off prices would be too high for me. For example, $100 for a pair of Levis; $129 for a Levis jean jacket. Ouch.

Plenty of salt thrown down here over the last 4 days.

Baltic make really nice watches at really good prices. Polish roots. Citizen and Timex are making some very nice affordable watches these days, well within your budget.

Looks like Timex has jumped onto the carbon fibre bandwagon. https://timex.ca/products/deepwater-reef-200-xcf-43mm-synthetic-rubber-strap-watch-tw2y02200

Before they changed ownership, I drove 4 hours to Wolf to see a bike that was misleadingly advertised with a pic of a different bike.

I have one. I like it. I found that installing the pinlock stresses the visor outward, reducing the friction on the hinge. I put a couple of drops of the included silicone hinge lube into the joints, diligently following the maker's recommendation. That combination made it difficult to keep it...

Started with a Rupp mini bike. Then got a Honda CT70. It was missing the left handlebar but that didn't matter. First full size bike was a new Hodaka Wombat around 1973. It was an amazing bike; "Looks of tin, strength of iron."

People like me who aren't on FB will never see it.

I love the look of those Limestones.

Great to meet up with you today Tom. Time flies when you're having fun! We could spend a few more hours chatting I'm sure. To answer a question you asked, from the position where you took that pic, if you rotate left close to 90 degrees, then you would be looking toward the historic Jackson's...

Most people have no idea what we do, and how much we do it.

Yes. We had most of it cleaned up before most people woke up. That happens a lot.

Somebody was out riding a little Kawasaki at 3:00 this morning on Stouffville Rd., in a raging snow storm. After smacking it up he left it on the side of the road for the entire day. That's his mirror on the road behind it. My ride is in the background.

You might be surprised at how clean modern engines run. Remember DriveClean? My CO levels were extremely low.
