We are on a corner lot and have a three unit mail box on our side yard. It's been there for decades; we've only been here for four years. I was concerned about possible litter when we viewed the house prior to buying, but it has not been an issue at all. Most people stop on their way home after...

Years ago, at a previous house, one spring broke on our double wooden door with both cars parked inside. That door weighed so much it wouldn't budge and I gained a new respect for the power of those springs and the strength of the two cables. I had to disassemble the door one panel at a time to...

I bought a used FJ600 from Ernie back in the early 80's. He was living in Brampton and I test rode it in the underground parking garage at his building. I didn't know who he was at the time, but when we went up to his apartment to complete the sale it was like walking into a motorcycle racing...

Yeah, I forgot to mention I have no Collision coverage on my bike either. I haven't had collision coverage on any bike I've ever owned. I've always bought used and paid cash, so no need for that because of a loan. My reasoning is that if I crash and it's my fault then it's my responsibility to...

I'm going to have to look into this next year. My vintage 1997 ST1100 clearly falls into the 25 years or older category. I ride around 3000 km per year.:rolleyes:😇 I've had my M designation since 1972, didn't bother with the G until 1974. Wish I'd seen this post earlier because I just paid for...

Same here.🤣 My price this year was $607 for the year. No fire/theft, because no one is going to steal a 29 year old ST with almost 200K on it!

Thanks for the information. From what I've seen online and your comments, I'm sure I would like Owl's Head.

My buddy and I were just at Bromont and Sutton last week. We had the L'est Go card and I wanted to try Owls Head after we skied Bromont. He talked me into Sutton, which was okay but far too many expert runs for my liking. We skied Orford last year, so next year I will push to go to Owls Head on...

Had a similar thing happen in our back yard a few years ago. Sitting on the back deck enjoying a brew and suddenly there was an explosion of feathers in the centre of the yard. We never saw what kind of bird of prey it was and we think the prey might have been a sparrow from what was left...

Fortunately both my bike and car don't require premium fuel. Just plain regular unleaded for both.

Less than 24 hours later we had more than 15cm of snow fall during the day and that same road was covered in snow. You take your opportunities when they happen.

First bike of the season on Hockley Valley Road yesterday afternoon. Way too wet with salty runoff, but hey it was really warm out there.

So what did you get? Brand/length/etc... I'm curious to hear what you consider to be a ridiculously short radius for a slalom ski, or too wide to be good on groomers. I bought a new pair of Atomic Redster Q7.8 skis on eBay in December and absolutely love how they handle. These skis are...

Same here in Orangeville. But then we already had far more snow than those closer to Lake Ontario.

So stealing mail is insufficient grounds for dismissal from CP, according to the Union. Wow, just wow. What I take from this is he couldn't cope with the workload so he found a way to hide the problem. At least he remains on leave without pay until he can prove this lifelong issue is under...
