Went today Enjoyed it and seeing friends Was a busy place today

My 2024 Motorcycle goals 1. Pick up the new bike this week and get it converted to a race bike for the 2024 season 2. Continue to grow the number of trails for the dirtbikes by adding at least 2 more thru the tree sections 3. Ride street more than I did in 2023 and sell 1 of the street bikes...

38 to 51 km Depending on which lead foot driver is at the wheel. Plus 50 other factors.

Very happy with the plugin hybrid Niro so far. No complaints on the local haul or long distance runs. Kid has a Kia Sentos. Very happy with it 3 years in. 75 000 kms

I have to give a great review for Peak Oakville as well. My shop is very close to them. I was a couple of hours into trying to get the new drive belt on the Polaris 800 Ranger with no luck. I could not drive it the 400 metres to their shop obviously. 30 mins after my request for help the...

Just passed the 20 000 km mark yesterday with the KIA Niro plugin hybrid 1.8 litre/100 km average over the last 11 months No idea on what my electrical cost has been as there are too many variables. All I can compare to is versus the Ford Focus that it replaced. A savings on about 1000...

Yep. My garage floor at home I did 26 years ago now. Kick stands etc Just getting to the point when I should redo it but I stand and look at all the crap I would have to move to be able to repair and refresh....

Yep. All concrete cracks

1st goal post construction will be an epoxy floor coating If I dont get it done next summer after the concrete cures....I will be looking at the bare concrete in 5 years thinking I should do the coating some day

Going insulated garage doors. The track doors are coming off to replace steel shell and I want to heat part of it so the track doors are going. Just did a budget for what I was planning (and with inputs here). A little too much $. Need to trim down my wish list a little.

4x4 posts with 2x4 supports on angles for walls Dirt floor now. Was going to excavate and insulate the new concrete slab Was just planning to enclose upper at 10 foot and leave it as an attic Maybe 1 divider wall so split it 33% on the left unheated. Heat the 66% on the right. Add a...

By my math ~$5000 for 3.5 fiberglass gets me under R8 and a 0.5 air gap (true 2x4 framing) or I have to fill it at more cost plus my labour and I would need to add more framing as the old shed has no 15 inch offset framing ~$16 000 for the closed cell foam at 4 inch and then misc other costs...

There are competing lines of thought. Some advocate that closed cell spray foam does not need a vapour barrier. I do not subscribe to that thought. In a cooler climate with heated indoor environment as the predominant element moisture intrusion into the building envelope from the inside is...

70 year old siding that has been beat up over the years with cattle, wagons and tractor buckets etc. Your list almost matches with my thoughts. Most excellent. I do industrial paint for a living....I will do the spray foam myself on this job.

Starting the plan to renovate an old tractor shed into a new heated garage 50'x28' Shed was built in 1958 Dirt floor presently Steel siding is showing its age. Going to strip it all off, insulate etc. What features should I plan for?

And even old slow guys had fun.

Our plug in hybrid Niro has passed the 12 000 kms and likely will be in the 20 000 km/year by the 1 year anniversary Still running at the 2.1 litre/100 km It pushes up higher on the long trip weekends but a week of local running gets it back down to that 2.1 to 2.2 l average again.

RIP friend

46 to 51 kms

We just passed 6000 km on the Niro plug in hybrid. 2.2 litres per 100 km average over the 6000 kms.
