Post pics. I have a TS125 on the stand right now, and another TS250 in the wings. Doing the same if I get a little relief from my "Essential" duties, can't wait to smell the smoke.My buddy has no wheels during the work shutdowns, so we are going to start a barn find TS185 restoration tomorrowsee how fast we can throw together something that resembles a fully operational street legal motorcycle.
I would never order via a delivery service that takes such a cut from businesses already hurting. A lot of restaurants and such are still open for take out if you call ahead and order. Get in your car and go in person and give them 100% of the revenue that they NEED right now instead.
And some are doing specials and such to attract people. For those in the Oshawa area Teddy's is offering a $5 whole strawberry pie with an entree order. My wife and I dropped $50 there last night (after a 20% tip to help support the wait staff as well) and enjoyed our dinner at home.
There's a good percentage of clueless self absorbed ******** here as well, unsurprisingly in the younger segment, but also in the middle aged and boomer categories as well. I just got into a spat online on FB yesterday with a friend of a friend who basically said "**** all this stupidity, it's just a cold, I'm living my life!". I called her out. She got her panties in a twist over it...but soon got smacked down by an increasing number of other people who agreed with me for calling her out. She then deleted her comments. But there's almost a 100% chance this self absorbed twat is still "living life like usual" because she's the most important person on the face of the planet and doesn't give two ***** about the rest of society as long as she's "living life as usual".

Canadian optometrist flew to Peru with her family March 15 and is now stuck. Imo, they are not canadas problem, mortgage their house to get back if they want. You left after a worldwide pandemic was declared, the money is all on you, I am ok with canada making a call to try to get a flight approved.
Speaking of that, my teacher friends have either returned or are returning tonight from their out-of-country march break vacations (all left after pandemic declaration). They are looking forward to their two-week isolation periods with more booze. They are (were?) teaching our future leaders folks. Frig me.

If you want to find a group of more corrupt people than union brass, look no further than the IOC. It won't happen. They may try and run it, but many countries won't be willing to risk a flare up by allowing athletes to go and get reinfected from people in other parts of the world. An olympics missing a bunch of countries is even more pointless than usual.

Gather all the Canadians that left for Peru in the last 2 weeks, send a plane, then send them the bill. I'm sure all those King City parents are able to cough up $10K a piece to get their little snowflakes home.Canadian optometrist flew to Peru with her family March 15 and is now stuck.

Tuition is ~30K and I can't see school restarting this term. At 10K a seat, they are probably revenue neutral. The CDS kids left March 4. Things have been developing so quickly, I don't have an opinion as to whether that was a reasonable move or not. March 11 is the magic date where a pandemic was declared. Any departure after that was self-centred and idiotic.
A little rambling and he repeats himself quite a few times but a decent vid from an american MD.

'Stay home,' urges widow of 51-year-old Ontario man who died of COVID-19

I'm not sure if the ratio has changed but at one time the food cost to the restaurant was about 1/3 of the menu price. 30% to Uber doesn't leave much for the business. Appetizers and desserts are probably higher mark up.

Not unbelievable. It supports the military and puts the rank and file in harm's way.
