The best series I've ever "read" was Jack Reacher. I actually listened to that one, and what made it so good was the narrator, Dick Hill. His voice was perfect for Reacher, although a male voice is strange when reading female lines if you aren't used to it. He did such a great job that my wife...

As I said, I prefer fiction, but I could get behind a good historical story, so long as it's not a documentary. I've listened to over 100 Western audios, but I noticed The Bookworm has Westerns so I think it's time to read some.

My son just read Dog Man. It must be good, because he'd stop reading in a fit of giggling throughout, and would go over his reading time. He also liked a book "Rowdy", or something like that, about a dog. I'll have to check the title when I get home. Your kids might like it. Artimus Fowl he gave...

I rarely have time to read since becoming a family man, so about a decade ago I switched to audiobooks for my commute to work. I use reading to escape this ridiculous world I now find myself in so it's always fictions, and often fantasy or supernatural. I was recently given Christopher Paolini's...

Someone mentioned Celtic Tuner, but I can't find the comment now. I looked into it. It turns out shops in Ontario won't do the deletes anymore because they are cracking down on the shops with big fines.

It looks like Rona is now an authorized Craftsman dealer. So, I think you may be right. I just emailed Rona to inquire if they honour the warranty on Craftsman, even older tools bought from Sears.

Talk about lifetime warranties, that's what I always liked about Craftsman and Mastercraft hand tools. I just bought a use, but like-new, Crasftman 2 piece chest and rolling tool box for $300 to organize my motorcycle-specific tools. I figure it'll be much easier finding the right tool, and make...

Out of curiosity I checked Amazon and found they do have adapters.

I agree. I'm gonna pick one up now an then as long as they are available. I have two still in the pack that I will leave till needed, and add more.

They don't have everything, and stock is going quickly. I got 85-90% of it at Channel Control on Henry Street in Brantford. It's tricking to get to, though. You drive between Burger King and Princess Auto, going behind Princess Auto, and turn left at the stop sign. It'll be at the end of the...

That was my thinking. Hopefully I get 8-10 years out of it, but if I only get 5 then I'll start to slowly replace the with red, as GG called it, as they die.

One regular drill and small impact driver came in a 4-tool kit with a battery and charger. I then bought a hammer drill, tool only. The large impact is of the lug-nut variety. I have a Jolt bluetooth speak that I really like for the garage. I made the mistake of suggesting my wife use once. I...

I've got a family 5. I don't really have a passion for riding, but I enjoy it. I continue to ride because I trust in my driving skills. I'm good at controlling my vehicle, as I'm sure all of us on this site are. But more importantly, I'm very good at observing my surroundings and predicting...

My 2017 Ram 5.7L was getting 13.8L/100kms when I started to baby it. 15.8L/100kms previously. I can only go by the claimed L/100kms for the diesel, but combined they claim 8.8L/100kms. That's a good savings, but having never driven a diesel, your braking my heart with all this talk of...

Good point.

I just replaced all my 20v Dewalt cordless tools with Kobalt 24v after my dad found them at a liquidation centre in Brantford. These are being liquidated through Rona as well, but the liquidation centre has them cheaper. Roughly 33% of the full price whereas Rona is about 50% or less depending...

Can't be many of those bikes registered in the GTA in that colour and year. Shouldn't be difficult to narrow it down, then knock on some doors. My guess is that it's the one that just reported his bike stolen after convincing a friend to alibi him.

Yeah, not highway, but country roads with a few turns. I could take the 403, but it wouldn't save time, and I prefer the view in the country. I also have a heavy foot. Is that good, or bad, where this DPF is concerned?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't know about this. I'll look more into it so I can understand it and hopefully prolong it's life. My commute is 25 minutes. Not sure if that will be enough. I'll see what I can find out.
