Six months to a year for a plug in hybrid rav 4. Might have to go full hybrid, full electric or back to ice.

Won't help you much, but I have a 2015 Odyssey EX-L with 317,000 km on it. Only had one transmission issue a couple of years in. We got stuck in line at Tim Horton's. It was in gear, but would no longer move. I got help to push it out of the line. Had it towed to a shop, and when they...

Hopefully, I’m northeast of it now. Got tired of the grey skies, while trying to help my 92 year old father buy new shoes that fit. He needs to get a handicapped sticker, so we don’t have to jaywalk across Danforth like Tim Conway. Edit: Blue skies and scattered clouds in Ottawa this fine...

What did we do fifty years ago, that we no longer do to prevent forest fires?

Seems better than the ‘60’s smog days. Toronto got the nickname “the big smoke”.

Looking at vehicles. I think we have two circuits that the jacuzzi tub is on that could be repurposed for charging. Before we were looking only at hybrids, but now we have more leeway. Any current picks?

If it has a reputation as a crappy dealer, then it doesn’t matter if you live next door. I have a shop a few miles down the street that I trust with my bike. I’ll see if there are issues when they need to order parts.

People used to buy dynamite at the hardware for “environmental purposes”, not that long ago. Neighbour of mine used to blow up beaver dams with it.

Someone’s selling tandem rigs on Ottawa Facebook marketplace of all places. “All complete tandem Sigmas and Micro Sigmas - NZA and Icarus mains - Vigil Cuatro All inspected and airworthy. Please contact me to see the inspection reports and prices for each rig. These are tandem rigs Marie-Eve...

Glad I took this earlier, there are thunderstorms and blackouts here in Ottawa now.

I went to Stittsville near opening, which is the wrong time. The issue with my earlier run might have been getting the X removed from my license at the same time. An hour after opening would have been a better time to show. Walkley, which is the drivetest centre is a nightmare unless you have...

The one I’m at used to be like that. Now they have a kiosk to check in, and appointments are more than a month out. I went to do this earlier, but they said it was too early. The website says 180 days.\_O_/

What happened?!?

They used to sell rolls of DOT stickers at the show.

Seems difficult to get into a trade nowadays. In my dad's and my time, you went to the union(675), signed up as an apprentice or journeyman, got your book, and were sent out to jobs. If you were an apprentice, they'd send you to Casa Loma campus for a short course later. Both my kids tried to...
