Looking at this one at the moment: https://www.costco.ca/samsung-98%22-class---du9000-series---4k-uhd-led-lcd-tv.product.4000293237.html

Our Zenith came with this: Can’t tell what the refresh rate on Mac’s 65” is. Might have to spend $$$ for an 85”+. The old Samsung TV we bought on Valentines Day when we first moved to Ottawa, is still going strong, as is the even older Samsung surround setup we bought from Bay Bloor Radio 20...

Is 85” too big to get a decent price point? 98” is around three grand, which seems a lot for a basement TV. We had a 16” b&w. First colour was a well used Zenith console with a remote clicker to change the channels. Drug store up the street had a tube tester and tubes for it. Later cable...

Passenger has the key, you drop them off somewhere and then have to chase them.

Or the fob falls as you start your ride, or in your car depending on how close it needs to be to start. I’ve heard of Harleys starting without the key in the ignition, and getting stranded. My car has five fobs & four keys at the moment. Bike only came with two. With motorcycles, you gotta...

Looking at getting a new television. Size up to 100”. We have 11’. What sort of technology should we get? Should we go for big screen lower tech or high tech lower screen size or some compromise? When do the deals come out?

Oof, you’re not supposed to sit on them, they can suffocate.

It’s CCYYMMDDHHMMSSTTT

Sorry for your loss. We had a will when we turned 30. Unfortunately, our lawyer who I went to high school with, preceded us a long time ago. We just redid a new will and changed a few things. I guess that’s something to add, in that you should have access to the current original of the will...

We went to the local travel medicine clinic. So far DPT + Polio, MMRTT, Shingrix, Prevnar, Yellow Fever, with more to come plus something for Malaria and Diarrhea. Planning on Rabies which is optional. I’m 65 so some of them are free. Best to check with a travel medicine clinic, our nurse is...

Best we’ve been to down south has been Galapagos Islands, although I’d pick your diving vendor carefully. Our lead was a little too enthusiastic about getting pictures, and less about safety. For one place resorts, Turks and Caicos was the best. Our young boys thought of it as food touring...

We’re doing Italy with friends this year. Later we’ll be going to Kenya and Tanzania. We’ve already started the shots.

Wife didn’t want to buy a new sink. Happy wife, happy life. I braced it with some 2x2s & shims. Edit: Just found out that my fridge has two water filters. One outside under the cupboard and one inside in the fridge ceiling.

Just replaced the kitchen tap ( it was leaking ), and removed and reinstalled the sink, since it had come loose from the countertop again. Trying no more nails wet grab this time. I really don’t want to do this again in fifteen years. I’m going to put some better supports and shims under the...

Had my hearing aids for a week now. I’m getting a zit or something in one ear, and am finding it hard to wear them all the time. They fit behind the ear with a dangly thing that goes inside and tickles my ear canal. It’s interesting to be able to hear high frequencies, and there are times...

Who won? I think he was talking about all of his sponsors at that point.

We did a bus tour 44 people. Flew into Deer Lake and out from St. John's. It was fun. I liked not having to get up and drive every day. Book hotels/motels early, as the bus can sometimes book an entire place for a night, and there are tours running regularly, and simultaneously.

So, which administration takes the blame?

Didn’t get my cheque yet, neither has the wife. Was at the LCBO for some bourbon before the tariff wars.
