  1. It's probably the microwave ovens in the apartments, those things play hell with 2.4 ghz wifi ?
  2. Curtis McElhinney is looking good in net for Carolina ?
  3. I'm dating myself but I remember the early 80's when the pro BASS circuit was limited to 150 horse.
  4. Totally insane on a public waterway. Anything over possibly 80 kph or 50 mph should not be allowed on a public waterway only on a closed course racetrack. Same as our roadways, want to race, take it to a track. edit: same with snowmobiles
  5. The rates are even higher in Canada, I pay $33 a month for mine ( FIDO), gives me 200 minutes of phone 8 AM to 5 pm, unlimited out of prime time and weekends and I think I can do 500 texts a month, works for me. We have Cogeco for unlimited internet and phone toll free US and Canada and I can connect to their wifi hotspots in most places downtown if I need to do data or check something on the net when out shopping in town.
  6. I really miss the old analog 800 Mhz cellphones , you could hear a lot of crazy stuff on the scanner back then Got a cell, don't do data except on the home network, rates are too insane for a pensioner. For god sakes don't text me, it's like email, only check it twice a day or so.
  7. Bought the same when I retired in 2008 as well, burners are good but need 3 tent heat diffusers for this season, Lowes has some one size fits all for 10 bucks each. Mine has an extra knob for an infrared rotisserie burner mounted on the back, does great but you need to put a drip tray under the chickens or whatever is on the spit or it makes a heck of a mess , good score. The battery lighter don't work after a few seasons but that isn't a problem.
  8. I'd have to agree, growing up in the 50's /early 60's , nobody heard of a peanut allergy or any of the numerous food allergies/lactose/gluten intolerant or kids just didn't make it to school age cause they died , poisoned by a PBandJ and a glass of homo milk , standard lunch fare in those days. Society seems to be become hyper sensitive to a lot of things in the past 50 years.
  9. Its a high resolution .pdf, save it and you can expand it for better visibility. Microwaves are radio waves, your microwave oven emits radio waves very close to your 2.4 Ghz wifi, actually our microwave would knock my wife's old laptop off the network, I won't repeat what she said when that happened ? edit: Don't worry be happy https://www.qsl.net/z33t/emb_stetni_ili_ne_eng.html?fbclid=IwAR3doDgCJVyTG9AV8GXa4mW_qYEkZghmSUEVrHZwX60xeOaj-ZQVmMJy630
  10. For any radio geeks this is how the frequency spectrum is chopped up in Canada, the light blue is our AM/FM and TV channels if any listens to O.T.A. transmissions anymore? https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/vwapj/2018_Canadian_Radio_Spectrum_Chart.PDF/$FILE/2018_Canadian_Radio_Spectrum_Chart.PDF
  11. I've been into shortwave radio and uhf/vhf scanners all my life, you would not believe how the noise from some of this stuff has increased in those 50 years , the static level between stations is horrendous anymore, not just stuff that is supposed to radiate a signal but spurious emissions from poorly regulated power supplies like your cell phone or laptop charger. Anyone experienced a microwave knocking something off a wifi network or a cordless phone, they are both use a frequency of about 2.4 Ghz and this 5G will operate around 6Ghz ?
  12. You should be OK as long as they are not galvanized, seriously at our age and years in the steel industry I think we would be immune by now. Lowes seemed to have the cheapest one size fits all diffuser tent last time I looked , I need 3 https://www.lowes.ca/bbq-grill-replacement-parts/char-broil-adjustable-porcelain-coated-steel-heat-tent_g2664137.html
  13. Tail gate cooking with an Hibachi, haven't seen one of those in years but they were awesome. And yes Walmart does make good BBQ"s ?

    Roe

    I wouldn't sweat it in the spring after opener for drop backs, all too often I've stepped into a run that guys are flogging with roe and hit a fish on the first drift or two using a nose hooked dewey that it has become my preferred bait at that time of year. You could also try the above mentioned place , the one time I got it there it was top notch http://www.centerpinangling.com/spawn-products.html
  15. Grew up with natural gas and have had gas all but 7 years of my 69 years as an adult , when I lived in an apartment I had an electric and hated it, , go with the propane .
  16. You sure wouldn't drive around with expired plates in those years, no names mentioned ?, they also all expired on the same day, not spread out throughout the year on birth months.
  17. Used to get new plates every year, think the sticker thing started about the mid 70's, had a 76 VW Rabbit when it started. I understand we are dropping the front plate too, only rear plates now.
  18. Yes , a very enlightening article. I bet anyone who had Lyme would have gladly risked the side effects if it would have saved them that experience.
  19. Looks like it was approved at one time for humans and then recalled after side effects surfaced https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/5/7/17314716/lyme-disease-vaccine-history-effectiveness
  20. It's crazy, my dogs get a shot to prevent Lyme but it is not approved for humans.
  21. We just did our girls' first monthly doses for the summer , 2 nights ago.
  22. They should have waited, if the Leafs go down in the first round I bet Babcock would be available.
  23. Thanks guys, I don't feel so old now ?
  24. Looks like a Crestliner Saber.
