In the early 1980s I was more rock and pop rocl guy. First Honeymoon Suite album got worn out on my record player in Grade 8. I actually saw them during one of the grandstand shows at the SuperEx in Ottawa. Cheap Trick opened. Great show! Chilliwack and Toronto? Sold... Don't forget about...

Anytime post Covid! Bring your ear drums and a swim suit! I've got the tequila, gin, mix and pool and Softub handled on my end! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

I can relate to your buddy. A friend of mine had a poster of her in his bedroom and I was constantly drawn to it. So much in fact that my then girlfriend in Grade 9 called me out on it. Lol... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out. Harlequin? Better believe Zoodles knows that band. Like The Payolas, Strange Advance, Loverboy etc there were a lot of good, underrated Canadian bands from the early 1980s. Want to guess my age? Easy enough... The fact that I have a CD...

The last 2 days are dumpster fires in the U.S. Record setting case counts and upwards of 1100 deaths. Not looking good. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Not a problem. With my middleaged body they will look once and never again! :O Edit: My wife chose the site. I asked about in front of the "new" shed or the area where my wife was raking in this pic. One good thing about where the Softub is located is that it is readily accessed from the...

Softub has landed! Got the polymeric sand all sorted. Outdoor floor down... Tub finally where it is supposed to be. Just waiting on the rebuilt Hydromate now. Hopefully I can start the next stage on Satuday. Hydromate should... er... rest and mate where the exposed plumbing is. Then run...

For sure I am going the 120 Hz route. Like HDR I want the proper tech and specs to last awhile. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

For someone as adept with hardware, software, and coding I totally see why you go primarily the PC route. I have never hacked a console and I literally go back to the Atari 2600 days. Systems I have had: Atari 2600 Colecovision NES Sega Genesis plus Sega CD and 32X PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 Wii Wii U...

In my University (and early post University years) I rebuilt and upgraded many PCs. At that time a PC was a source of gaming and was my main productivity tool (especially since I did a B.A. and wrote so many essays). Back then you had to upgrade a computer just to play Doom; let alone run...

Thanks for the replies. FWIW, when Cogeco first did the install last September they tucked the router/modem into our basement cabinet. When I visited my buddy in Ottawa I saw he was using the same hardware from Rogers and he was going on about how his Internet was affected by where his modem was...

I had the Cogeco tech come out today. Now on the "5G" WiFi I can get about 140MB/Sec or so and on the "regular" WiFi it comes out to about 78 MB/sec. These are numbers on my cell phone with the data turned off. On the Switch the "5G" WiFi gives me about 40 to 48 MB/sec. The PC in our "office"...

I voted PS5 BTW... Only because I have been a Playstation owner consistently since 1995. However, I am as excited about its potential as a 4K Bluray player as I am about the other things it can do. Hopefully they will launch an upgraded VR at some point to take advantage of the extra power.

It works well. I have taken our Switch on a few trips south. Was fun to play some rpgs on the plane. In kickstand mode you can use the joycons in the controller holder and it is quite comfortable. Works well both in portable and home mode. 720p is the portable mode which works quite well with...

Our Switch gets a decent amount of use. Easy to bring on a camping trip to hook up to the 24" Samsung or use in portable mode to blow some time off. Most games look good on our "old" 60" 1080p TV. I still game a lot on the old PS3 and the PS4. I have held off on a 4K TV. The PS5 will be the...

That would have been cool. A lot of great Canadian bands since the 1970s. I never did see them during my concert going days. They came to Ottawa somewhere between Allied Forces and Thunder Seven. Not sure how I missed out. It was the mid 1980s that I started to regularly see bands. This...

I have been on a Triumph kick of all things (the band; not the bike). Never Surrender was always my favorite CD. I have watched the YouTube video of their concert during the US festival in 1983. I think they left a good 5 to 10 years on the table. They came slightly after Rush but left oh so...

Nice! Hopefully I can join the club later this week. Today's labor. Went and got some gravel to go around the pad. Also, some of the pavers needed to be re-leveled so I bought a bag of screening. As you can see the area left to the pad is pretty mucky. A bit of a wasteland. Plan is to put...

This has already been tried via work refusals before I got sick. All that got done was some modifications to the barriers. Ministry Of Labor has been in and in their opinion our workplace is safe. At this point it is going to take either an edict from the Province or a change of heart by...

Here is a snippet pulled from their Twitter Feed: Sadly, the public consensus is against the drivers so the Region is focusing their attention on us and are busy pulling surveillance footage and the Union is busy going to disciplinary meetings. Sad, that so many energies are directed this way...
