Undertaker and tax collector, everybody goes sooner or later and we all know about the taxman.

That took soooooo long I'm ready for a pizza. Can't imagine doing that in winter.

Seriously I think a lot of countries have "done it" to themselves, 30+ years or so when the big box stores opened, everyone ran to Wmart, Target, etc because your dollar could go further. It's part of human nature to find the easy way, do less work and buy more without thinking of the end result. We are probably all guilty to one extent or another. Years ago you could still find products made at home or quality products to say the least and the prices were not that hard to swallow. Now look where people go, 24 hour stores where the vast majority of the products come from a handfull of countries for dirt cheap. Do we care, no, throw it away and buy another, fill our dumps with their garbage, not realizing we just paid twice for more garbage. Take a walk through any larger store, turn over 10 items to see where it's made. When it comes to foreign autos, ya 40+ years ago if you took the door panel off a Datsun you might find a Coke emblem faintly visible. The joke used to be on a clear quiet night you can hear a Ford rust, well if you bought a Pacific import, the next morning there was just a pile of rust left in the driveway. But, they learned and quality grew in leaps and bounds, that's why they have prospered. Point in fact, last truck I bought had a broken ABS sensor module right from the factory. So some schmuck on the line said oh fuddle duddle it, to bad so sad. I can only say I bought 2 GM products, I didn't learn the first time, shame on me. Maybe the public should have a vote on whether or not companies get handouts, repaid or not. If you fail, some3one else will pop up and possibly prosper. Honda and Toyo seem to be doing well. Remember next ime you go to the big store, where is your money going, offshore.

My family has had a fair number of "Krautmobiles" if you want to call them that and a fair number of N/A products. Without a doubt I would buy VW over any N/A product, reliability and retaining value is one of their good points. Unfortunate they didn't bring their small truck to Can/US, they would have put a good dent in the midsize truck market.

If I was in close proximity, ya I would make a serious effort to go find a different area. CWD and other variants take a while before they actually show up and by the time they diagnose it, too bad. As far as I know there's no known cure or fairy powder that will stop it.

Mann that guys got a pretty good arm.

Anyone relate this to that tune from way back In the year 2525 when man becomes useless, everything is done by machines. It's coming early, so much done by robotics, robots teaching robots. What do you do when there's no work.

Agree, I think we're all getting tired of the corporate welfare. If Mom and Pops pizza is failing all they get is "you should have tried harder". Tired of having unions tell me what I have to do to keep their jobs alive.

Was at the dealer this morning, top line trucks listed for over $80K, what the hell are they smoking. I doubt I'll ever buy new again.

Looks like a recovery in progress for an Ottawa man that just had to try skipping his sled across the lake. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwicpNWn7_DeAhVitlkKHfD9CbMQFjAJegQIBhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fottawa.ctvnews.ca%2Fopp-searching-for-missing-snowmobiler-1.4191698&usg=AOvVaw2tmlGnY3uTzcIsixtUOwzt

You can only subsidize so much, if it's not financially viable them it should be let go. When you see the prices of vehicles it's no wonder.

Check both of these, they are pretty accurate:https://www.windyty.com/?gust,43.086,-79.419,9 and https://www.windfinder.com/ Kinda funny that they're not the same today, EC canada says from the north too.

Looks pretty good to me. Never thought of setting a price limit to make a nice supper.

I think the closest I've ever got to one is maybe 150 yards and with steel shot, even lead, you'd have better luck with lottery tickets. Waste of time as far as I can tell.

It's going to cost prospective hunters some serious cash, no lead shot. Ever try to follow one in a boat, damm things fly faster than my boat will go and they are very wary when you try and sneak up on them. Maybe someone can come up with a way of genetically sterilizing them.

A happy ending, nice of you to throw in the moth balls, gives the mice something to go bowling with, lol.

What Dave said, get the 8 watt model, gives you a bit more distance in rough country. They don't come programmed for the FRS/GMRS frequencies but they give you the CHIRP program and you must buy the programming cable. Programming isn't all that hard. You can also add the weather channels and a bunch of others but we won't go there unless you have a Ham licence.

Ask my 49 year old Ariens snowblower. Put in gas this morning, one push of the starter and it runs. The carb has never been serviced. 2 mufflers a bunch of belts and one tire tube.

Hahaha, speed isn't at fault, lack of friction will put you into the rhubarb every time.

Go to your local Federal building, bring some ID and know all your kids and wife's birthday, they ask everything but your underwear size. Other than that, pretty painless.

St Lawrence market has just about everything.

If you're going up the 400, there's a Yamaha dealer at Innisfil Beach Rd, Dewalt Marine.

#*+@% snow, I looked at the shovel and without touching it my back started twitching. Not enough for the blower, thank god it's fluffy and light. As much as I'm not a fan of them, I may have to resort to a small plow for the ATV. Barrie renamed to Burried, Angus to Anguish, or just pull the "G" and yu know.

Well when you find an electric snowblower capable of eating the snowbelt dumps, come on over and you can practice. And when you find an electric powered generator during power outages, well, better forget that one. ?

For those that can't get their gas powered equipment to run in the spring, it's probably due to forgetfulness or being an idle buzzard. Clean lawnmowers, oil change and drain carbs or fill with treated gas, whichever your poison and method. That goes for chainsaws, generators, weed wackers and least but not last, pressure washers. Leave it outside without being drained or serviced with pump antifreeze, sure as sherlock, the pump will split. Don't neglect the toys that make life easy for you.
