  1. Didn't any of you listen to your grandpa ? Things are going to hell in a hand bag !  Retired government employees  on a pension with benefits are moving to all the "nice" places we working stiffs live and are screwing it up for our kids. Fact of life accept it and move on ! I could live on the access road to Turner but i would want hydro from a pole not a generator but then as soon as that was available the road would be littered with homes. Cherish your peace of heaven before it's gone !

  2. Delta variant posed to be the next issue in Canada as well. Toronto hospital celebrated no covid patients then a few days later another hospital reported multiple delta cases of emergency staff with no apparent contact . Enjoy your turns !                                                                                                             What's with the little blue icon ? Already have too many "senior" designations attached to my person ! !

  3. 15 hours ago, Neil Gendzwill said:

     Two major renovations (master bedroom and kitchen), new fence, new shed, greenhouse, RV parking pad, replaced the garage opener, new furnace, added A/C… it just keeps going but we’re nearly done. 

    I wouldn't want your wife to hear you say that. Unless your looking to get into trouble.

  4. If your like me (serious denial and old age around the corner) you have a pet project you have been planning to get to some day . Well the day isn't here yet and you still have it squirreled away somewhere. What is it and why haven't you tackled it yet ? Mine is a bugeye sprite, motor was rebuilt 20 years ago  oiled and shelved multiple  boxes of parts body panels and  crates of extra parts. The pandemic should have been the impetus to get this done but there is sits. what's your story. I promise I won't contact your significant other and shame you !  ( It's been 42 years !)

  5. It's on the bucket list. Meeting up with kids in Salmo and traveling down for some fun and sun. Probably need a wheelchair lift by the the time the border opens and vaccination levels are where it's safe to traverse the country. Nice to see that you don't have to jump off the cornice but I worry it will attract more never evers . I think you would need thunder thighs to get up that lift on the Skwal .

  6. We must be getting better Leaf's vs Canadiens in Toronto tonite 500 front line workers allowed ! First large gathering sine start of pandemic. Montreal had a crowd of 2500 so Toronto has to do something in the way of rabbit out of a hat to win.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         And the Leafs loose again ! 1967 was a while back.

  7. Was recently vaccinated and he thought symptoms were just results of that. He got worse, was  hospitalized, ventilated after three days and died . 

    He did a media interview from the hospital the day before he was put on ventilator. He didn't seem to be in too bad of shape. My wife and I have taken covid seriously but this adds a new perspective that's been missing up to this point.

  8. I'm reading closely between the lines looking for a hint of politics. Can't find any ! Except ( "no memory in general , always been that way " ) I'm thinking it could be reference to a particular individual . 

  9. What a pussy giving up some tricks @ 53. I didn't start to Skwal till after I was 53 but taking it main stream doesn't seem to be working ! Actually the fact that he knows his limits @ 53 proves he hasn't taken too many hits to the head in spite of the fact he's riding on pavement. 39 years hell of a career ! I wonder how many boards he has destroyed in his life time . I quit after a few weeks. The steel roller skate wheels just weren't doing it for me . I landed without the board around too many times. Skis fastened to my boots turned out to bee a better match. 

  10. What has happened to the fundamental principals that once defined an economy. An eight foot 2x4 costs  $7.00 a sheet of plywood is $75.00 houses sell for hundreds of thousands over asking price and a new truck can't be had for lack of computer chips. I don't think anyone would argue that the only tool to curb inflation is a substantial  interest rate hike but the gov't doesn't seem to be interested in addressing this at the present time. Perception  and reality help me understand what's going on today.

  11. Fin's not as old as me but as I stare at unfinished projects and not yet started projects littering my 140 acres i Think out loud  "Just because you can doesn't mean you should " hope the trip goes well !  I've made 3 cross Canada trips in vehicles that once littered my shop floor. I know the kind of stress the first few miles can be wondering what nut  I forgot to tighten or what  that sound  is that I'm hearing . Usually it's a change in the pavement that triggers the " Why am I doing this again. When you finally get home your primed to do it all over again !
