RIP and GWS Horrible

I very rarely ever see an above ground, in ground, or anything in between that has a fence besides the yard fence. I understand it but can’t remember the last time I’ve seen one. My fence is more to keep the kids out, and the dog away from scratching the pool liner.

I don’t need one but I want it to prevent the kids from going in when we’re not looking.

Mesh fence has the following posts and sleeves to install… The sleeves are supported to be installed in concrete and the posts in the sleeves. Not in the mood to make concrete footings for every post so thinking patio stones (thanks @GreyGhost ) or using 2x6 and do cross bracing so they...

If that’s reasonable mine will be up for sale soon! I figured these were in the 600-800$ range.

If you’ve got old PT posts laying around I’d be happy to take them off your hands. Need to install a mesh fence around the pool and don’t feel like making concrete footings for it.

Watched the ‘Hail Mary Project’. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but it was a good watch.

As for around the house….few hours in the sun getting rid of the top layer of grass for the above ground pool. Last time we laid the pool on grass it smelled like death for a month once we removed the pool. Fence goes in tomorrow / Monday and then starting the setup.

My buddy at work was renting A SINGLE BEDROOM!!!! For $1000/month….no private bathroom, no private kitchen….nothing. 8 bedrooms in that single house each renting for 1k/month. Owner has 8 more houses with similar layouts…. Owner bought the properties back in the 90s and early 00s….making bank now.

Sadly this is our worry here in Mississauga with each house up for sale. I’d say 20-40% of the houses are being converted into rentals… Let’s just say it changes the neighbourhood and not for the better. 2 quotes for the roof….$8500 and $12500 for the same shingles and scope.

My CB500X was the easy ride from all my bikes. Everything was super simple, no fuss, just ride. The Scrambler put a smile on my face every single time I fired it up. But it wasn’t a long distance tourer in any way shape or form. But that sound….

This w This week alone I’ve had at least 5-7 riders either lane split or ride the shoulder on the 401. Frankly I’m jealous of their progress. But all it takes is one idiot. Had a guy gain on me in the HOV lane so I ended up moving left to let him split between me and the left lane on the 403.

I know people like to fudge the numbers to make a point…but 500% is hard to fudge

It appears to me that this season has been very hard on riders since the weather turned better. Anyone else get the feeling? Any ideas why it seems overly bad this season? Personally I’ve seen more ‘bad’ riding than I recall in previous years but this season seems abnormally dangerous and...

Ugh….RIP
