When I used to want to wake up at 6am, and go to Costco / Walmart at Dixie and Dundas the premium fuel was the same as a normal gas station normal fuel. Haven't been in ages because I just don't feel like waking up that early.

Used to be a 10-15c/L spread from regular to now premium. They know that premium car buyers are going to pay premium gas prices…zero incentive to go low so they’ll gouge us to the max. Only my Scrambler needs premium in my fleet…thankfully.

Not sure that I agree with the strict enforcement on the speeds to the level of Australia. But I won’t disagree on the illegal tints, plate covers, and stupid modifications to scrape the ground and (more dangerously) lifting trucks to the point of being extra lethal as their new bumper heights...

I saw the price….for a 20k bike….i can do a LOT of maintenance on a lot of other bikes 🤣🤣🤣

I’m no baller unfortunately! You recommend me to go from a fairly high maintenance bike to a MUCH MORE maintenance sensitive bike? I’d love a Multistrada but those bikes scare the hell out of me with maintenance costs.

No...can't afford/justify those. VSTROM 650 is at top of list.

Finished up S5 of Stranger Things. After all the hate I read online I was expecting much worse. I enjoyed the ending and the full season. Kid wants to watch it so wondering what’s the right age to start watching it. May be a bit rough for a 9 year old.

Working on it...considering switching careers again, but seeing what I can do here first before I consider leaving OPS.

I've done the IB1000 before, and will probably do a similar run also. Just need a better bike for it than the Scrambler...that thing isn't going to help me make 1600km in a single day without some serious modifications. Was planning on joining @shanekingsley solstice ride but if that's not...

Last time we were there we saw a handful of hotels that were built as things were looking toward the end / limitation of the embargo. Companies came in, built up hotels in anticipation...and then BAM. New admin came in and that was taken away. So the hotels were sitting empty at maybe 5%...

2 groups of our friends both had their trips to Cuba cancelled this week. They re-booked for free to Mexico instead as all the airlines are now not flying down there with new visitors...only return flights with those that were already there.

29k for siding and insulation is a steal! When I was quoting my job for siding and insulation the price was $70k for vinyl siding (no insulation) and 140k for 1” insulation and James Hardie siding. Did the siding myself as I didn’t have that type of cash. $33k all in (with new shed, flashing...

Ya we got some quotes a while back…wow. Eye watering. Unfortunately this is one of those things I can do as I don’t have the seamless machine…and I’m terrified of heights. But my dad is already ready to buy that piece of kit….🤦🏻‍♂️

First bike of the season for me. Small white sport bike on Burnhamthorpe near Cawthra going east as I was driving west. Kudos!

Have tried a handful of 'fixes' over the years...but it's just leaning more and more. One of the main issues is the neighbour's hedge that is pushing against the fence but they're not responsive. When I take the fence down, I'll make sure to trim their hedge so it doesn't continue doing...
