    Daily sports car?

    Most of the new barrie police cars are battenburg. I appreciate the visibility. I think the particular implementation they picked is ugly. Imo, a smaller pattern looks better. They also went for gross green instead of hi-vis yellow in their pattern. Their trunks are pretty much just white or...

    COVID and the housing market

    For the second floor to be comfortable, it's a pretty major job. Unless you are installing separate hvac upstairs, the staircase and duct work cost you about a room of space on the ground floor. On the upside, you could do it properly which no builder even attempts to do.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Wtaf. Bargaining postponed until 2026. Just keep kicking the can, if you can't find a solution today, dealing with it in the future is sure to be easier. /s I had to double check that this wasn't an April fools post by psac. The mind boggles...

    Daily sports car?

    More visible depends on the weather. In a snow storm, white isn't doing you any favors. I have white now and I like it. I had black before which looks really good for two seconds after you spend a bunch of time on it. I wish more vehicles came in good colours. Even for those that do come in good...

    Weather

    Last night was not a hot tub night up here. Wind was probably pushing 80 km/h and blasting snow around. Some branches were breaking off and dropping like spears in a medieval battle. The neighbours pool cover got hit. Went through the safety cover, through 1/4" of ice and about 3' deep into the...

    COVID and the housing market

    And if you want to be fancy, you can go nuts on price per sq ft and the whole budget remains reasonable.

    Where else can you avoid any taxes on an eight figure investment?

    Chipper

    The powerfister linked above doesn't deal with bigger branches but it is ~15hp (assuming they got the drive ratios remotely correct) so it should be able to process faster.

    COVID and the housing market

    Free from capital gains tax if its his primary residence. Insanity.

    They may be collectors items in Canada soon.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I don't have a license. Not worth the hassle for me to have guns. When I see you, you can have them.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Apparently, you can use them in most (or maybe all) 22LR but you need to clean well after as you get contaminants in the chamber that need removed before you run 22LR again. Seems entirely not worth the effort to burn some old low-speed rounds.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    23LR? On a slightly related note. Does anyone shoot 22 short? I came into a stock of it and I have nothing it makes sense to use it in.

    Avoidable Accident??

    I'm always against fishing. Conditioning people to watch for the lights to know when speed limit is lower and/or changing the speed limit six times a day to ensure confusion and/or posting a speed limit many tens of km below road design speed are for naximum revenue and nothing to do with...

    Avoidable Accident??

    Plow train on each side of the bollards may work fine. Not much of a windrow if the snow is being blasted across the gap. Sure, it's not cleared down to asphalt on the hash marks but legally, nobody should be driving there. Every time I drive, I see dozens of illegal crossings (and almost every...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    If Carney gets in, I won't be surprised if anything that fires (or could fire) a projectile gets banned. None of their reasoning makes any sense. Guns scary, they must be removed from society is the only reasonable explanation for their path.

    Trailer ownership with you in vehicle?

    Don't get me started on the permanent 80 km/h speed limit for much of the 400 south of barrie. So little construction activity. Approximately zero people drop to 80 km/h and when someone does it causes a disaster with high closing speeds and not a lot of room (and they are almost exclusively in...

    Trailer ownership with you in vehicle?

    I have been keeping documents in glovebox for convenience and ease of access. I may consider a more discrete location but it may cause me some grief in a traffic stop. While telling a cop what you are doing helps, they get justifiably jumpy if you are digging around locations where they can't...

    Avoidable Accident??

    The politician/VIP express lane? That's not going anywhere. Installing flappy plastic bollards on the do not cross line seems like a simple and effective solution for many of the ahole crossings. A large percentage of drivers completely ignore the painted lines. Smashing/scratching there car...
