I miss my high school parties, they were around the same time.

I don’t think any party ever wants to resolve the abortion and gun control issues. They are wedge issues that political parties pull out of their hat to divide voters.With all the time and money that’s been spent on these two issues nobody has anything to show for it. Think of how much further...

I think the Coservative party is actually very close to centre. It just doesn’t seem like it because the current Liberal party has swung so far left, I can’t wait till that circus packs up and leaves town.

A good rule of thumb is that a 600v 3 phase motor will draw almost exactly 1 amp per horsepower and you don’t want to load your service up more than 80%. So a 30 amp 600v 3 phase service which is the smallest you would see in a small industrial unit could safely run a combined total of 24...

Somewhere in the code book there’s a rule that says your only suppose to have one service to a building with one main disconnect but I’ve been in many older commercial buildings that have two.

Actually when you are getting zapped by 600v you are really only getting getting 347v if it’s a wye configuration as most services are. You would only get 600v if you came into contact with two different phases at the same time. Either way it friggin’ hurts. I’ve felt both.

I had a friend that was having problems with his hearing years ago and went to a hearing specialist. The specialist asked what the problem was and my friend said he kept hearing odd noises in his right ear. The specialist asked what kind of noises. My friend said that’s the strange part, it...

I had an Uncle that suffered hearing loss from firing artillery during the war ( for the Germans). His condition was unique though. If you were in the next room talking about him he could hear you no problem, otherwise you would have to shout at the top of your lungs for him to hear you, I think...

I installed a 600v 3 phase service in a barn in a rural area just north of Hamilton a few years back and I don’t remember there being a significant charge by the utility company for this, other farms or businesses adjacent to him must have already had 600V. That was about 20 years ago. The guy...

I met my ex-wife on jury duty , October 1,1990. Other than that it was a very positive experience. We were both selected for an armed robbery trial which lasted about two weeks. The defendant had a very good lawyer but it was obvious that the guy was guilty. We went to his sentencing and found...

Triumph skid plate. Brand new. Fits Bonneville, T100 scrambler and Thruxton. Includes hardware. Pickup in north Whitby. Like the add says, free.

A woman is out golfing one afternoon when she gets stung by a bee. She realizes that she’s having an allergic reaction and starts frantically running back to her car to get her eppy pen.As she’s running past the clubhouse the golf pro steps out and seeing the distressed woman asks what’s wrong...

I remember an older guy I worked with years ago went to get his prostate checked. He told me that he asked the doctor to use two fingers. I asked him why, he replied “I wanted a second opinion”.

I had a buddy that was a cable installer in the early 80’s. He had to install a cable at Eugene Levy’s house once and said he was a real mean A-hole.

Awesome. I recently read Robbie Robertson’s autobiography “Testimony”. He had a lot of good things to say about Ronnie Hawkins and the time he spent playing in his band. Robbie and I went to the same high school in Scarborough ( RH King Collegiate). I went there in the late 70’s and nobody knew...

My partner’s son was also a Cutco salesperson, that’s who she bought her $2000 set from. I’m pretty sure they told him that he was their top salesperson, thanks to his mom.

I saw him do a show at RPM on the Queens Quay in the Eighties. Great show! He was a ball of energy.

Was she hot?

Anyone have any celebrity encounters? Full discolure, I’m 60 and have had many growing up in Toronto just by coincidence and being in the right place at the right time. Mine are as follows, in chronological order. 1) Uncle Bobby - The day man landed on the moon my dad and I went to the beer...

My partner bought a full set of Cutco knives about 15 years ago ( I call them Crapco). She paid about $2000 for them, I think that they are WAY overpriced. I have to say that they have held their edge quite nicely and never needed sharpening in all these years . They also replaced a few of them...
