    Very few things today are truly analog. A mechanical watch is.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    If it's mechanical it's a watch. If it's electronic, it's an instrument.

    Recent pickup. Hard to beat the value. Especially buying used. 😎

    Feel the same. I asked my wife when our youngest moved out, did that all really happen?

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Thinking later then that. I believe I was in grade 6 or 7. 1975 my guess. Had a 72 Buick that was definitely not metric.

    Careful if you enjoy a brew while mowing your lawn (on a riding lawnmower)...

    Step onto city property at the bottom of your driveway and you could get charged. I know a guy many years ago that had this happen.

    Buying gear from Europe

    If they ask to see it and it looks used, tags removed, dirty, scuffed then they wont refund VAT. I've applied at the airport in Rome twice for Vat refund.

    Buying gear from Europe

    Only if you can show them it's still new and unused.

    COVID and the housing market

    Tower at first. Then Rogers came in and we had cable. But just channels 2 - 11. I think a couple French and Rogers community station.

    COVID and the housing market

    One tv in the house. 8 usable channels. First 10 years of my life, one bathroom. Parents did a second one downstairs after. Never had AC till my own house, (present home). And we had it good. I'm not complaining.

    COVID and the housing market

    Not have a big house, not have AC, not have a vacation every year, not have a loaded fancy car, not dine out twice a week?! Crazy talk! lol That was life when I was growing up. Strange thing though. We were happier then many are today.
