    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Death of four x four and larger is whipper snipper damage , trim too close too often and you expose non treated wood at ground level where the rot gets going . Five x five are better but they all can twist or warp given the chance . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I could not live with a purple fence . Stain vs paint ? Stain is always easier to maintain and always use a semi transparent if the look works for you . Solid stain is just weak paint and it always peels on horizontal surface and occasionally vertical . Sent from my iPhone using...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Think I’m going to build the new vanity for the second bath upstairs. It’s never used so it can be empty for a month or so . Anything we looked at is four/ five grand for what we want . I’ll build the vanity then decide if I’ll do a corian top ( I can fabricate that) or go the stone route . It...

    Cuba...

    Don said in a press talk yesterday he is looking forward to the honour of taking over Cuba . Wow , just plain wow . Since Greenland said F off , Canada is trying hard and Iran shoots back , maybe he can score a victory bullying the poorest underprivileged country in the Caribbean. Too scared...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    The “Saffire sandwich” Omega Speedmasters were just over nine k each with taxes , no discount even though we bought four . They did throw in an Omega umbrella , Oky doky . I’d have been making a bigger stink if it was mine . That’s horrible for a watch of that ‘caliber’ . I’ll offer him three k...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    That looks like the hundred buck builder special . They make those with a two by two lumber frame inside and a sheet of styrofoam , they put some adhesive on the metal skins so the stick to the foam and make an assembly. The gauge of metal is one step up from a beer can. As mike said , they rack...

    Cuba...

    Unless your a Cuban over seventy years years old , you didn’t know any other system besides communism . What the US is currently doing is like what happened to Gaza , except no Cubans took hostages or killed anybody . Globally nobody gives a F about Cuba so they are easy targets . Haiti is the...

    I was never a Hamilton fan , but I won’t deny he’s a talent and an excellent sportsman . He showed that today in post race interviews. Kimi is the real deal . Sure wouldn’t want to be sitting through the McLaren debriefs . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Cutting 6mm aluminum plate

    if KTM used an alloy aluminum (hardened) for that plate it may take a bit more effort to chew on. I know you dont want to pull the plate off but I'll bet your saving a lot of grief working on a nice flat surface vs. standing on your head , In an unrelated matter , my Tacoma has a skid plate ...
