  1. Glad you are safe Lew. It came quick for sure. We lost power for a few hours. Never bothered starting the genny. Lots of roof and fence damage our way. My daughter in Brooklin lost her 10x10 gazebo and furniture at the bottom of the pool. The last storm 3 years ago the shed went in the pool!!! 

  2. Good advice Dan. I gave up my trade (Typography) in December after 50+years. What I was taught  and also taught other is no longer valid with technology and buttons. No skills at all, today ads last seconds on a phone. My work lasted months if not years in print form in magazines or newspapers. When I open a paper from the 70s and one today, there is no comparison. We came from a different era. In my case, I’m in the works with a few others across Canada building a website and archiving those days and artefacts. 
    As for cars, looks like they are only made to last so long. No more driveway repairs I did. hard to find a dipstick today. Lol

  3. Dan, there is nothing better than seeing a child succeed, even better to follow in your footsteps/knowledge. I was successful typographer in ad agencies, one of my daughters took marketing and is doing very well for herself. At one time she worked where I had preciously been. When she got hired I received an email from vice president: I she one of yours!  :), she is well known in the business as was I. At one point a client had left our agency, in the onboarding process I had to consult them and she was included in the conversations, in her comments on conversations she always referred to me as Mr Macchiusi, never dad, lol. She is now client side and the agencies are her clients. 
    all the best for your son Dan, he has had good guidence.

    And how much does this bunch of 20L cans cost to save a few cents?  $25 + tax +$28.25 not to forget the cost of gas to drive there and back for 1 20L can.   So even if gas goes up .10C a litre, you would have to buy 280 litres just to cover the cost of 1 gas can, and, then don't forget you're burning gas to go to the gas station to fill them up.  BTW, I didn't add the cost of stabil either.

    I thought the same thing. Eventually you have to refill it. Hopefully they come to their sense and we can go back to normal.
