Looks like an exhaust pipe on one side. Regardless, the police don't usually commit to blame until well investigated. Best wishes for full and fast recovery for all parties.

The 32 Bayliner would interest me if it's what I thought. I was told they were made by Mainship and not the usual Bayliner "Line the bottom of the bay" crew. If the boat was free and solid it's still a $10,000 yearly expense. That's the part that scares me. Buy a $50K boat under distress...

It was bloodshed years back when mortgages soared to 20%+ and boats were being dumped for any amount that reduced overall debt. Sell a boat with a $90K loan on it for $45K and your overall debt is reduced. Lose the boat but keep your home.

FWIW I found out that the bollards someone installed in their driveway down the street are manual lift and cost $2K each. Sounds like an expensive PITA that invites a home invasion.

If he owns the business it is an asset and can be taken, along with his house and cottage to pay the judgement. However if the boat was registered to the business and operated by the guy as an employee(Unlikly) the business would be up for grabs but not his house, RRSPs The value of the...

A lady I know slapped her daughter's boyfriend for being a class A jerk. Proving she was right, he charged the mother with assault. A number of supportive people wrote letters of support, including me. I wrote that I had known the family for XX years and violence was never an issue. The lady...

Wouldn’t that depend on how much undeclared income you make and how much of it is crime related? if two negatives make a positive does having an illegal weapon to guard your illegal stash make it legal?

Beautiful lines, what is it? The advantage of a motorcycle is that one can sit on it in the garage in winter and make vroom noises.

I like karma. One sweltering hot day I was leaving the shop with a bottle of cold water I had just pulled from the fridge. Getting into the van I noticed a guy slaving away in the sweat shop next door and gave him the bottle. The look on his face was thanks enough and I grabbed myself another...

While I agree in principle the fact is that most crashes and injuries of any sort are the result of people not thinking it would happen to them. Even in minor events, after you cut your finger for example, why were you doing the procedure that particular way? The possibility of injury was...

So what's the big deal if you weren't involved or affected. right??? WRONG. A friend lost a friend in a car vs motorcycle crash and the car driver is pulling the "He was speeding" card, justifying the death as the motorcyclist's fault. The more the public sees of this nonsense the more they...

Getting a living wage for doing something you enjoy and self assess as world class is silly. Want to buy some of my cousin's macrame? I don't believe in arts grants but do believe in teaching art appreciation (Plus music, food etc). If people are taught appreciation, the market will adjust and...

I have a loose definition of art. Art is anything you make better looking or expressive simply for the sake of it. If paint on a piece of canvas is art why not paint on a toolbox?

The story goes that a little old lady ordered and then drove to the pay window where she got befuddle with paying. The people in the car behind her started yelling and honking so the lady told the cashier she wanted to pay for the second car's order as well. She did and drove to the pick up...

Hers was on display at the mall on Yonge in North York.. It wasn't one of the ones where people just plastered crap on the statue. They were annoyed hers was taking so long, until they saw the results. I heard that the sponsor wanted it for their cottage. I can't recall how many there were but...

I passed an E-bike this morning as it wandered from track to track in the right lane. As I was alongside it he edged towards the broken line. Then I noticed a little kid on the back. No hi-viz and I don't recall helmets. Is it kill-a-kid week?

I don't know how long the average boat owner keeps a brand new boat. A factory salesman I spoke to honestly pointed out that they don't worry to much about the third or forth owner. Other than winterizing, a new boat won't need much work for five years, other than winterizing. Oil gets pumped...

We have a numbered print my wife likes. The rest is cheap stuff. I pick up frames, sometimes with pictures in them, at thrift stores. If anyone takes a good picture Walmart makes it into a photo for next to nothing. So I have a bunch of cheap stuff braking up the walls. I prefer them to the...

I was just talking to a friend who lives in Barrie. The victim was a very good friend of his. RIP rider and condolences to Ivan and the rider's other friends. We post these things but it hurts more when there are only a couple of degrees of separation.

OR... A buddy was 30 feet up a wall in a Genie when it ran out of fuel. Somehow the descend controls wouldn't work so he phoned the attendant to refuel the thing. A half an hour later five gallons of diesel was in the tank. The sticker beside the fuel fill said "GASOLINE ONLY". Two hours later a...
