I haven't been in ages and might go. My image needs some cheap leather, not gear quality.

I paid less than $10 total credit card interest in my life. I have redeemed about $5000 GM dollars under the GM/TD card and a bunch of gas discounts so them boosting the rates doesn't bother me other than the 19 pages of changes to terms and conditions. Included is the rate hike to 22%. My...

Where do they get tens of thousands of people to pay thousands for seats and blinding hotel costs? I don’t follow any particular team but cheer against the unethical ones. Or at least the ones getting caught being unethical. Chiefs and Eagles. Which one has nicer uniforms?

I don’t know LA but assume part of the city is heavily wooded. Those woods have caught fire and the fire department is having trouble keeping up. Evacuations are in panic mode with deaths reported. Well known celebrities are not immune

My most recent update installed a quick and easy feature to turn on record during a call. It does announce "This call is being recorded" and I think a regular beep. The concern being making an unwise comment that is later used against you. It's too easy to make an offhand remark with friends...

Just an old email account. I started a junk email with hotmail, using it for junk stuff. The problem is that I can't remember my password and the junk mail has built up to a sizable chunk of memory. They don't give any reset options. Any tips? Also the magnetic chare plug needs to be replaced...

I've always run Garmin and been satisfied with the performance, until I got Drive 52. It is Garbage. Slow, fickle keyboard, fickle traffic, and more. Apparently TomTom is getting out of the market, not a shock as a lot of cars have GPS as standard equipment. Garmin's Drive 53 would be my next...

Is this another $5 Million coffee spill? Comment: Looking at the recall notice (NHTSA Recall No. 19V843) it appears that a bad signal from a wheel speed sensor would cause the software to activate the brakes on only one of the rear wheels. What's HD's net worth?

I caged through yesterday and the colours were nice but not quite at peak. There were a few leaves on the road and it only takes one in the right spot to make things messy. There are a few curves where there are no shoulders and it's instant ditch. Those can fill with leaves so one should not...

As I was walking to the door of HD to pick up stuff a VW Atlas pulled up next to me with the driver asking for directions. I went to the passenger side and helped him plug in GPS directions to Pearson as he was heading back to Milan after doing a fashion show here. He wanted to thank me by...

Still just foot stomping but what are the bets? How long do these ones usually last?

A friend's wife crashed her bike in the general vicinity. It was due to the shoulder being an unacceptable drop from the road surface I can't recall the standards but the drop was way off. There was talk of a lawsuit but I don't think anything happened. She was roughed up a bit but not seriously...

Rhetorically speaking on the numbers. Sometime I catch myself thinking of buying $10 worth of wood to make a shelf that I don't have space for to store something I'm unlikely to use in the foreseeable future. The project would involve several hours work for something I wouldn't pay $2 for at a...

My daughter got linked to a site explaining parasitic drain on her Honda Element. We ran a bunch of tests and it's a challenge trying to figure out what triggers the higher than normal drain. Apparently the computer needs some power but boosts that to around 200 ma depending on a system of...

Whether it’s a fire, medical or criminal issue, has the traffic jam issue of bike lanes been discussed? Have any recommendations been made to drivers on clearing a path?

I may have a relative visiting and am under the impression she enjoys a really good cup of caffeine. She feels Starbucks is over rated. I drink anything that keeps me awake. Any recommendations in the west end?

I just figured the place out. If you can find your way to your appointment and back to your car, you don’t have Alzheimer’s

A lady my wife knows was appalled when she saw boys throwing stones at a coyote. I thought it was a good idea. They are getting too used to people. I’m not suggesting stoning them to death but I don’t need them as buddies.

I started researching this because of a conversation with a young lady I met this morning. She has a pre-schooler and she lets him ride his e-stand up scooter on the sidewalk. I mentioned some of the things that motorcycle safety courses cover. I thought I would look at all the non conventional...
