Congrats Elon! You got the highest score in the world. Whats next? https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/spacex-ipo-makes-elon-musk-worlds-first-trillionaire-2026-06-11/

Thank goodness Poland didn't make it in! Last time I put these flags on my car they screwed up my tint (bunched it up) where they were located. However...I'll be buying one of these when I pass a CT today to support Canada in their 3 games before they kicked out.

Cannot believe how much I’ve enjoyed Clarkson Farm for all 4 season. Imagine my glee with S5! Highly enjoyable and I’m almost done with the current season.

Which ETF?

It’s worth nothing. Tesla and SpaceX stock valuations are running on nothing more than false promises and Elons fart dust. Many comments / posts I read are all ‘I’m investing in Elons vision’…. So basically….he is the stock.

Once all is said and done, we’ll know where we stand financially depending on the final CG tax amount (expecting 50-70k). Pay that down and then work with what to do next and how our renewal goes. Plan is for HELOC but I’ll reach out to my broker today to get his opinion as well on best route...

@nobbie48 Wasaga is changing fast (they’re getting a COSTCO!) and there is a lot of new builds. I’m going to upgrade the house slightly to make it more livable and more modern instead of the wood panelling look. New drywall, new ceiling drywall, bathroom needs a ton of work as it’s horrible...

100% I’m not gonna go for it because it’s a ludicrous price IMO for what would add…maybe 500sqft of living space. The land value is worth more than the house.

Got a quote to put up a second story at the cottage…100k just for framing (rough price) with me being responsible for getting all the permits and approvals. That includes second story framing, roof, and enclosing it from the elements.

I've seen them go into stucco. Plenty of houses in our neighbourhood have woodpecker holes within their stucco. Maybe they like the insulation / styrofoam? Can't figure out what else could be in there that would entice them. One house has about 20 holes above their garage.

This was my setup. Ear plugs to kill the wind noise, and music through the helmet CARDO speakers I had. Worked great. Could never get ear pods or any in-ear speakers work as they always fell out or got moved to a painful position.

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.
