The insurance won’t likely put it in the estimate and will pull it at the adjustable but I would really insist on a four wheel alignment being done when the repair is finished. They will tell you it’s not required . I was in body repair in a previous life , it’s required because knuckleheads...

I drove to Kitchener for Easter dinner , through a few snow squalls. God does not favour KW right now. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I think the deal at the end of the war was you had to go back , there was a brief waiting period then you could apply to return . A really large number opted to come back to Canada . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I very briefly lived near there , I was in LongBranch for a couple years . Was visiting friends down there when the biker war blew up the log Cabin burger place. Since we are on WW two , my mom used to get ice cream as a treat from the German POWs at the camp in Mimico, they were often out on...

Plant is a little west of Dixie off Lakeshore , the ranges are still there and some older brick buildings . At one time a big observation tower was over towards the lake to spot bombers . They built a huge floating pyramid roof with black shingles they would tow out into the lake , bombers would...

Mine was arctic spa , big gate valves before and after pumps and heater unit . I’ve not seen one built different, seems they are out there . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Around here someplace is an H&R 12g single made about 1950 , stamped "made in LongBranch Ontario Canada" , there was a tariff on US guns coming into Canada after the war and we needed to get manufacturing going here , Harrington-Richardson used the old longbranch plant as did many others , I...

The story on the Long Branch manufacturing is actually pretty cool . Short version , war breaks out and we need to make guns , don’t let the government do it , hire the smartest contractors we can find , in about six months it’s fully tooled and making guns . Sent from my iPhone using...

Not looking forward to the bill to have mine neutered. Neither is he ….

High end Trex is vinyl encapsulation manufacture . Middle is as Steve said a pretty good insulator . The new solar reflective product is pretty amazing . My original Trex deck from thirty years ago was total crap and grew mildew by the pound . It’s gotten better with every generation. I...

Asia is also building “one trip” containers , fuel to get them home costs more than selling it off here . You can also buy new containers made here , actually made for display and pop up markets , trade shows , tiny modular homes . This stuff seems built to a lot of different grades . Friend is...

Have a look at the new Trex Suncomfortable , it’s a solar reflective product in the transcend line that is designed for pool areas and sun decks . Yes it works , it’s in my backyard . Yes it’s really expensive. As a former lumber trader you will never convince me to install a wooden deck again ...

When you do the above ground pool you’re going to excavate four to six inches and put in a sand bed . Once you strip the sod that might be enough. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

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

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...

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...

Friends just had a bath done , preserved tile floor , vanity was nine K , shower rebuild was fifteen , new toilet room was six . All in about forty . It’s very nice but geez , Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I worked retail , have owned a business , worked for a national , then international, now a nice privately owned company. I tried it all I think. I'm not sure Id like the MC business simply because talking to knuckleheads that couldnt afford a decent peddle bike and want to finance a 25K bike ...

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...
