Bar wrapping is a bit of an art but also not rocket surgery. Watch some youtube videos and consider wrap direction where your hands sit most often. Make sure to have everything you need within hands reach before you start. Personally I start at the ends and wrap towards the middle, I use...

There is no need to spend that much. The bike is more or less new so are the current cables and housings. The only housings you need are the now longer lengths to reach the new handle bars back to the frame, all others are fine. The current rear brake cable is more than long enough to be...

If all goes as is (expected cuts) I expect 5 year fixed rates in the 3s in 2025 with some shopping around. So maybe 1% to 1.5% higher then they are now and many--even most can likely deal with that. I think 2025/26 renewal people dodged the worst of it. Now if things don't keep going as is and...

That is some pretty good scrap value in stainless. Anywhere from $0.50 to $1.05 per pound depending on the actual alloy.

I won't fault someone for taking advantage of some good weather in early November or even late October to put up their Christmas lights. Don't turn them on until after the 11th, later yet is preferred.

I am pretty sure the "church" is not being forced to do this. They see some advantage to doing so (for them), be it money or other.

No, long and short, the driving lane should never end, and that is the key point. More in-depth, it is about when the highway narrows. When going from 3 to 2 or 4 to 3 or X to Y lanes the lane removal should be the left/passing lane and NOT the right/driving lane, it can be removed between...

Mentioned this before in other threads but in Ontario the highways are designed (or at least painted wrong) and this helps to create bad lane discipline here. Here we add and subtract lanes from the right. We should do it from the left. If the right lane is the driving lane why does it end. If...

It may be worth while to find them for VIN swappers that sell back to "local" markets. For the guys shipping overseas, they won't do diddly in the container and so what if they now know the vehicle is in XYZ country overseas afterwards--if they even work there...

Like installing alarms in the days of yore if the insurance savings is enough to cover the cost in a year or two it is a win. Did the alarms really stop theft??? Non-zero impact yes, how much is debatable. In practice, the police are not known to respond quickly so the vehicle may be in a...

Public sector is an all encompassing term that includes people that work for the cities/regions, province and feds--all are growing. A quick search got me 2021 data so three years out of date but it gives an idea of how many people in each category in Ontario: As for growth.... Ontario is...

Just a funny (to me) "boat" story... Back about maybe 20 years ago we picked a remote back country campsite in Killarney. We specifically wanted a secluded one on a small lake. It took us a while to hike to it with gear, a good eight hours plus, we also considered it to be a fairly difficult...

Gorilla prank on the ISS

There really should be extra charges for any adults involved if they use minors to commit a crime. Twenty year old mixed in with young offenders, extra 10 years for you for involving minors... Handler using teens, extra 10 years for you....

learns quickly from mistakes and never repeats them...

Odds are someone(s) went through the legit process and then someone(s) figured out holes. I know someone (friend of a friend thing) that did a no show electrical apprenticeship, similar to all this in concept. He paid cash to a buddy that is an electrical contractor. From the cash buddy paid...

Alternatively, she knew she was driving dirty and hadn't handed him her documents yet. So she rolled the dice and came up with a lame excuse when it didn't work.

My random thoughts pre-coffee... For us bottom feeders looking for cheap wall hangers but don't want what everyone else has. HomeSense/Winners will have some interesting stuff from time to time. More prints/manufactured items but at least they tend to be low volume in the stores per item so not...

Seems like a George Costanza dating move... Next time you talk to him tell him you signed with someone else as the entire briefcase fiasco makes you believe he is too scatterbrained to get the job/quote right. Bad reflection on the entire company...

There is a debt relief commercial I see on US TV. The dude looks like a stereotypical "hipster" HD owner and his message is after the debt relief he has more time to ride his motorcycle and then they show him on a big cruiser (can't see the brand but my guess...). Every time I see the commercial...
