GreyGhost, I would be very careful what brand of generator I would use for home backup.Champion would not be my first choice.Almost every electrical device and appliance has some kind of circuit board in them including your fridge ,furnace etc. and cheaper generators can wreak havoc on them...

The product that you’re referring to is made by a company called Generlink.They run about $1000 (plus the cost of a generator).The Generlink along with a 5000w generator will run most homes.Yamaha makes a nice 7500w generator on wheels for $1800 that would leave you with power to spare.The down...

Last I heard was that he was a “person of interest” in a murder case a few years back.

For those of you that don’t know who Art Robbins is . I watched this being filmed at Shannonville in 82.

Heartbreaking. I saw him run his first super bike race at Shannonville. He rode a red 1980 Suzuki GS1100 just like the one I had. He easily won the Ameteur Superbike race and as was customary at the time, they would let the top 10 amateur riders run the Pro Superbike race to fill the grid. To...

Canadian Tire carries Mobil 1 automotive filters. The M108 is the filter that will fit 90% of bikes with a spin on filter. I’ve used them exclusively for years on all my bikes. Canadian Tire stopped carrying the Mobil 1 bike oil a year or two ago but I think Wal-Mart still does.

A 1979 Pinzgaur. Wish I still had it. I sold it about five years agp

There are three people in just my home with severe flu like symptoms,we're not being tested and told not to come to the hospital unless absulutely necessary,I"m sure that there are many other people in the same situation that are not in the statistics being presented to the public.The good news...

I was in Florida last week ,it was business as usual there up until last Wednesda.The restaurants started spacing their tables 6 feet apart. Every restaurant we went into had guys running around with tape measures.The grocery stores were packed with people but the shelves were all well stocked...

Don’t feel sorry about the isolation, I’ve used the time to learn how to make one hell of a Manhatten.On a more serious note, I had a friend that passed away years ago from kidney failure from a prescription he had taken years before as a child.That always left an impression on me. Later in life...

Don’t believe the numbers that the media is feeding us.There are six people in our household.A week ago tomorrow four of us got back from Florida and one from Australia(we are all self isolating) .On Tuesday three of us came down with severe flu like symptoms. Called the Covid 19 hotline and...

I always use Mobil1 oil filters, the M-108 specifically.They fit almost every motorcycle on the planet with a spin on filter and are readily available at Canadian Tire.If you have enough room you can also use the M-110 which is about 1/2“ - 3/4” longer. I’ve used them on my VFR’s, an St1300...

I just watched Dark Waters the other night and all I can say is that I will never eat anything cooked in a Teflon pan ever again.

Do yourself a favour and get a Honda.The first one I had was an HS620 ( I think) single stage that I used on your basic subdivision type driveway.I worked the hell out of it and lent it to my neighbors every snowfall and still sold it for $500 when it was ten years old.It was light,easy to...

Split plugs are history,they've been replaced with 20 amp plugs. If it's on a kitchen counter it isn't required to be on an arc fault breaker.

You cant run PVC conduit in combustible buildings or return air plenums(in T bar ceilings).You would generally use EMT(thinwall) conduit for that. Get yourself a bender for about $50,some fittings ,boxes and you're good to go.Its a lot easier than it looks.

If anyone has a mouse problem i suggest that you use AC90 (commonly commonly known as BX or armoured cable) for any new wiring.Its not that much more expensive and worth the peace of mind.I also suggest you use #12 AWG wire that allows you to use 20 amp receptacles. Also keep in mind that if...
