    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Once they are in office , they don’t seem to care what they told you on the way in . It’s a disturbing pattern . Now @DirtyFrank , is that Remington seven a two two three or a three O eight. I think they only made two calibres in that model? Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    My gut feeling is the Cons will just let this mess lie in the mud , neither add nor subtract from the list or buy anything back . A nothing burger . The liberals may move forward, but they don’t seem to have a solid plan either . How gun crime has actually increased since this nonsense was...

Rockwool Denmark broke the boat in Las Angles and could not compete in LA or San Fran . Team Canada re logo the Canadian boat with Denmark flags and...

    Hudson's Bay closing

    Has a private equity investment company ever dismantled a corporation in a responsible manner ? They sold off almost all real estate holdings and made the store renters .

    Eating out

    Speakeasies are making a huge comeback, fancy restaurants are putting a “secret room “ in the back where you can overspend on nice cocktails. Couple have turned up in Kitchener basements ( fully licensed and professional) but warehouse districts with sketch decor . It’s fun . I did ok through...

    Dual Fuel Generators

    We just put a cottage “dual fuel” at my friends place . It’s a King Canada , so finest Chinese product , but considered a decent product by reviews . It will only ever run on propane . Big tank in yard for fireplaces and furnace and a bbq hookup where the generator will tap fuel. The cottage is...

    Eating out

    $250 taxed should be pretty close to $120 cash , I think. I carry some cash these days as I'm learning some servers have other life challenges and money into the bank often goes a different direction than the server had hoped . If a few bucks makes things easier , thats easy for me . My personal...

    Eating out

    I’m finding I can go into ‘nice restaurant’ better than a mom / pop style and NOT fast food crap and get a burger for about the same price. And maybe an option for side salad . Served by a nice person at my table . And if you’re near a pub they usually have a lunch special , choice could be...

    Sailing Talk

    Sail GP this past weekend in SanFran . It looked on TV like the boat may have slide a bit sideways and put an unexpected side load on the wing and it just folded . Very odd accident, with no injuries thank goodness . It was sad watching the support team climb on with cordless grinders and just...

    Boat Rentals

    Things have come a long way Young Jedi , you’ll run back eleven or twelve to one at a minimum and using a sacrifaced surface it will be a mechanical and chemical bond , vacuum bagging will take away the need for a waxed resin. Or you’ll just go to an epoxy patch which needs no wax and is...
