    RIP - Niagara/West Lincoln

    Why is Ontario becoming the wild-west of roads and highways?

    I drive all across Canada for work... Alberta? The speed limit -IS- the limit... more than 5-7 over, and you're talking to the RCMP or local cop. Quebec? Super aggressive drivers, and fast - yet very well mannered. I often am pulling a trailer, in Ontario I have to push in; in QC, I put my...

    Let’s make things more expensive for customers…

    And those rewards are exactly the problem... the CC companies aren't eating a dime; they just pass the cost of those rewards programs on to the retailer. I get why you like it, but there's no such thing as a free lunch - for every dollar in rewards you receive, a retailer is paying a $1.05...

    Shell gas no longer Ethanol Free

    We had a lot of problems with the small engines on backup/reserve trucks at the fire hall - older chainsaws, small generators, pumps, that sort of thing... Between the carbs getting crapped up, and fuel lines; ethanol fuel led to a lot of maintenance and replacements.

    400 N of 88 rip

    RIP - Highway was closed for quite a while, so the reconstruction and traffic services teams could do their thing.

    Shell gas no longer Ethanol Free

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned - was that older fuel lines (particularly on small engines) were affected by ethanol... the rubber would soften and swell; often splitting at fittings or clamps.

    Product Photography & Design

    I could be interested, as well... I'm not much on design, but a decent photographer... Shoot me a PM if you want to talk!

    Let’s make things more expensive for customers…

    As someone who accepts credit cards; I understand it... With all the 'premium' and reward cards that banks and Credit card companies are offering - they are dinging me (and all merchants) with variable and ever-increasing processing fees... Depending on the card, I can pay between 1.5% and 5%...

    Where can I buy these?

    https://www.amazon.ca/Molex-2-Pin-Connector-Kit-0-093/dp/B004GUQ2ZM Pretty common 2-pin Molex connector - Sayal or A-1 should have them, but you'll have to go look in person....

    Battery check device

    I don't sell motorsports/automotive... I do mostly stationary reserve (think back up for cell towers, radio broadcast, internet and phone companies, that sort of thing). Lithium starts to lose capacity below about 20 degrees; and really falls off around 5 degrees... Some older...

    Signs or common sense?

    Sugarloaf Marina, in Port Colborne (on Lake Erie) - has TONS of goldfish, some as big as 18" or so... and goldfish will eat basically anything, so they thrive in any environment. People are dumb...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    They formally charged the driver yesterday - 3x the legal limit; a cooler bag full of beer in the back seat and a plastic bag of empties beside it... Truck's been seized for 7 days, 90 day suspension for the driver, and the MTO is 'reviewing' the company CVOR status. Whoops.

    Battery check device

    My business is batteries... (Seriously, I sell and service batteries) Lithium packs are made up of smaller cells in series to build up to the desired voltage; and in parallel to build up the required current - with an intelligent BCM to manage charge/discharge. There are few 'critical path'...

    Signs or common sense?

    The road's been closed for months; and the signage was very visible... The kids didn't miss the signs, they unfortunately ignored them; and paid the price. Word is they were headed to the casino at Georgian downs, and either blindly followed the GPS or (more likely, IMO) took a shortcut...

    Hey bolt whisperers

    Brafasco/Fastening House will 100% have it - but they often have minimum quantity purchases (usually by the package). I had to get a specific reverse thread nut a while back - I needed 12 of them; they had exactly what I needed, but it was a 100 count package... So I have 88 on the shelf at...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Mike was, and probably still is, an immense *******... like he'd be sitting in the living room, and yell at his wife to come from the kitchen and hand him the TV remote; rather then lean over from where he was sitting to grab it, kind of *******. (Seriously, I saw it happen...) He also had to...

    Trailers, Campers and RVs…

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest... An ex family member (ex-wife's uncle) retired from HydroOne; bought a mack-daddy F450 and probably the nicest slide-in I've ever seen - he was kissing 200k and this was about 5 years ago. Hell, with my old setup (F350 diesel & 28' bumper pull) - I...

    Cable Deck Railings - Any suggestions?

    Keep in mind, that specific municipalities may have additional bylaw/building code requirements.. I used to build decks and fences on the side for beer money. Basic building codes applied everywhere, but one township had a deck collapse and hurt a bunch of people a few years prior; so they...

    My lot just grew 10 feet wider

    It's not squatters rights you need to look into; it's "adverse possession" - and you'll need a lawyer and a surveyor PDQ. Adverse possession can attach in as little as 10 years; depending on a few other conditions - so time may be of the essence here.
