Man, I do not have that kind of brand loyalty. Probably because I rarely need to "buy a car now". I usually fall into a nice deal on a used unit, and pick it up, then one car dies and I don't replace it until the next good deal comes along. First car was a Datsun 1200. Ran like a top and...

Yes. not just the flu, but all kinds of infections. I work with thousands of students a year, so I get exposed to all kinds of bugs. Trying to get students to stay at home when sick is a challenge. We have to promise them they won't lose credit for missing a lab while they're sitting on a...

I put an air to air heat pump style hot water heater in my new house. I'd probably have gone with gas if that had been an option. One of the problems I had with it was if you used hot water for a shower in the morning, quite a common thing to do, the tank was heating after the cheap time of...

Looks like fun, but I'd want to kill the bug, not decimate it. L

You should be able to fit many more guns in that, John.

I was frequently travelling with my boss who was originally from Algeria, and another guy who was middle eastern descent. Even the Algerian made sure he stayed out of eyesight with the other guy because we knew he was going to get pulled into the room, along with anybody that seemed to be...

Best one I had was a border guard was giving me grief when I was headed down for a meeting. Asked how was he to know I wouldn't just stay down there and not return. I was feeling pissy, and didn't really want to go to the meeting, so, as the UN ratings for countries had just come out I asked...

Slide up to Picard's peanuts about halfway between NOTL and Virgil. Great selection of different flavours. Also a good brew pub in Virgil; Silversmith Brewing Company, located in an old church.

Yeah, I remember them from when I was a kid. Of course, the QEW was pretty much a two-lane road at that time. When I went back through there driving years later I wondered where they went.

Yes. They have a kitchen and do weddings etc. Might be a month or so until you can visit. I'll be keeping watch, and let you know. Do some shooting, then over there for a pint.

New brewery opened a few miles from my place. Not open for sit-down yet, but picked up their IPA from the local butcher. Was tasty, the fruity/floral style of IPA. Looking forward to their more traditional one later in the summer. Brewery & Event Venue | Harrowsmith Brewing Co. | Ontario

They installed a traffic circle in Ottawa years (decades) ago and decided that is should be incoming traffic had the right-of-way rather than the standard, even though there were other circles with the correct approach. Caused all kinds of headaches because when busy, the circle got plugged...

I've got a video somewhere of the traffic around the Arc de Triomphe. Multiple lanes; just a zoo. But, I didn't see any collisions.

In signals on the railway, we'd send guys for a sack of pole gains. Now they actually exist. Back then it was the part that had been removed from the pole during manufacturing.

Misuse of lose, loose, loosed and loosed. Also, decimate means only losing 10 % of something, not eliminating it.

I agree. The chains in the video were poorly located, such that even if it dropped, it would probably miss the cradle. He needs the attachment point on the trailer to be further back, so that moves the crossover point to a location where the tongue can't miss. Edit. hadn't seen the other...

I believe you're correct. That's the one I have, and the chin bar actually flips all the way to the back, so it's not providing extra drag.

Not tonight, but soon.

I've been on this planet for a long time, and can remember changing to winter tires for the last half-century, so I don't know where you got your "fad" idea from.
