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

    I was looking for a cheap table to be used as a workbench and bought one at Habitat for Humanity for $60. I figured if it didn't work quite right the top was worth the $60 for a 6' X 3' slab with metal trestle legs and wheels. It seemed kind of heavy when we went to load it and as we turned it...

    Hudson's Bay closing

    Watch out. My mother was working for a store when they went under. Because she knew where all the skeletons were kept, the liquidators kept her on but only for limited hours for a couple of months. When all was said and done, she was let go and applied for unemployment. The first question she...

    I thought you were suggesting some members are slow at jokes and you had to repeat.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    It's tricky. When smoking bans were expanded to include legions, a lot of veterans complained that they didn't fight in WWII to be told they couldn't smoke at their legion. That was twisting the rhetoric. They fought to preserve a democratic system where the voting public elects representatives...

    Boat Rentals

    I consider fiberglass hulls homogenous units, laminated with unwaxed resins so the layers chemically bond. Patches are glued on and I don't trust them.

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

    Eating out

    Maybe. Shaman or anyone, Continuing the point, Is there a price point that makes you draw a line in the sand and what triggers it? It's the reason so many prices end in .99 Most car fill-ups are under 100 liters. Put two gas stations next to each other and have one priced a half cent lower...

    Eating out

    Thanks for the answer. While munching in a local good smash burger joint, I asked about Uber pricing and the girl couldn't answer the question because ordering through a delivery service, you order from their menus at their prices. Plus tips taxes fees etc. I have to research the grocery thing...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Damn, My package arrived this morning, shoved through the slot. It didn't feel right. It was one of those plastic envelopes sealed for life. I slashed it open and it contained one of the three parts I ordered, a packing slip showing three items shipped and an apology from CP that the item of...

    Eating out

    Will it be harder on the middle of the road eateries? Sometimes I just need fuel for the stomach and I don't care what it is, McDs, BKs or Costco's $1.50 hot dog with drink or huge slice of pizza with drink for about $5.00. Most people look for cheap and convenient, (my view). You can get a...

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

    I’ll be watching this. We just bought out our gas rental tank. At $43 a month the savings will pay for it in two and a half years. The plan is to set up for an electric one which is totally serviceable by a homeowner. I have to look at panel capacity and tank location. Electric tanks don’t...

    Motel & Hotel Stays

    One has to think like a photographer. A creative or enquiring mind can always find something interesting. Then there’s my stepfather, an ex-Manitoba redneck farmer. When they got back from a railroad trip to BC with my mom I asked him about the scenery and he said a lot was boring. He said...

    Don't forget to file your taxes

    I don't know what happened this year, but "T" slips are coming in late and CRA continues to have several people looking after one account and the one on the left doesn't have a clue about what the one on the right is doing. If you have a question pack a lunch before you call. If you get...

    Eating out

    Unless you have a car full of people, the fuel and wear and tear costs favour flying. It's just the cattle car attitude.
