    Power of Attorney

    Great question. For those where I have that role, they asked me but I never provided anything in writing nor spoke to any of the lawyers nor signed anything. That leads me to believe it could easily be done without my knowledge. I am pretty sure you can decide to say no to being executor when...

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

    For this use no. Still inside the canopy and a drone that can lift pounds is uber expensive. Conceivably a huge drone could carry something like a line clearing saw but it would be a seven figure drone. I could have climbed to the branch and cut it far faster but I don't have cut resistant...

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

    Cleaned up a broken branch in the front yard maple. I'm getting too old for this. Needed to climb so my feet were about 15' in the air and then use a pole saw to reach the branch. Cutting with a pole saw at full reach is a tiring pita.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Interesting question. If they tacked on a $5 PIEV/BEV charge that would cover any potential extra usage. My suspicion is PIEV/BEV is such a small percentage of vehicles at campsites that haven't even considered a policy yet. It would be hard to enforce anything as he may just say he isn't going...

    $15 Princess Auto credit for old batteries April 9-21, 2024

    CT ran a gift card program before. Iirc, something like a 25 or 50% bonus for buying gift cards. I used CT Mastercard to buy thousands in gift cards and earned CT money on the card to boot.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    "Have awareness of the vehicles around you". Damn. That's a big ask. I suspect that a minority of drivers have any bleeping clue about what is around them.

    Power of Attorney

    My wife and I have password managers that automatically back up so they are not device dependent. We know each others master password. That simplifies logistics as the record is automatically kept up to date (both new accounts and password changes). We try hard to convince the old people in our...

    Power of Attorney

    Which POA? There is financial POA and medical (personal care) POA. For most people, most of the time, that shouldn't be any cost or work for you as we all hope that the person we have POA over remains capable of caring for themselves and making competent decisions. It could be very intense as...

    Ups batteries used to work as part of the promotion.

    Chipper

    My municipality sent out messaging that burning brush was prohibited. F that nonsense. Thankfully, I didn't hear of anyone getting a fine for it.

    City of Toronto motor vehicle sound limits

    That was the recommendation, the actual by-law was 288-2024 which amended Chapter 591 Section 2.5. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2024/law0288.pdf https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/municode/1184_591.pdf There is no mention or requirement in the by-law for rpm. It specifies idle or any...

    Boat Rentals

    Starport owners were pretty anal. I suspect they would be near the top of valuation for a similar make/model/year. I agree insurance will probably be looking for boats for sale that have been sitting in someone's back yard for a decade to establish comps.

    Damon motorcycles

    Volume is over 800M today (average volume of 120M). Watching trades hit is weird. Eyeball math shows lows thousands to ~500K shares per trade. That is ~$10 to $1500 per trade. Even at $1500/trade if you sold after a 6% swing (which is not hard to get today), that is $100 minus expenses. If you...

    Or buy it certified. Leave that problem to the seller. You don't need to be worried about unwittingly getting a bike with a no-look safety anymore.

    Chipper

    Fwiw, a neighbour hired someone to clear/chip the branches that broke at their house during the ice storm. Workers brought everything to the curb yesterday. Today they are are here with a 25hp, 1800lb chipper and two employees. I think they are close to three hours in and almost done. It's...

    Pickup Trucks

    That's cool. What generated that image? Normally finding all that data is work. 200Nm torque? wtf? That's really high. I guess they used larger bolts because it's a truck?

    Pickup Trucks

    Forums/fb groups for your model are normally the best. Technically, you could determine the BCD, hub diameter, offset, rim width of stock wheels and compare those against other options but finding all that information is tough. It's a lot easier to search and see that Billy bob installed 285/65...

    Let's talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (certifications)

    Hilarious. They make the mechanic enter the number of axles on the light-duty vehicle/motorcycle and it's not automatically pre-populated as two. Are there any light-duty vehicles with more than two axles? Does a motorcycle like a Niken have two or three axles? Who wants to bet they screwed up...

    Sadly, that was all of the facts. The rest is experiences and opinions which are subject to variation.
