  1. RPW, firstly I feel your pain and that of most on this forum. I don't think that the severity of the situation has actually sunk in yet. Many members here and/or their loved ones fall into the category of at risk of severe or fatal repercussions. Opening up boat ramps is not the answer. Staying at home and sucking it up is! We are still not getting it.......construction projects still business as usual. Furniture stores like Leons and The Brick still open, go figure!. Cannabis stores still open with social gatherings outside. Some still using Timmies and McD drive throughs and then socializing in the parking lot. Until a unified national effort is in place with ALL non essential services closed and only essential inter-provincial travel (trucks) allowed, this will get MUCH worse, quickly. I can only hope that I am very wrong and say hi to many of you on the water during 2020.
  2. Nice, keep those great memories alive.
  3. I agree 100%. If it was a choice between reusable pods and the same coffee in bodum there is no contest. The bodum wins every time. I only use Timothy's Extra Dark pods in my Keurig and put it on strong setting.
  4. Ya know that stuff will kill you right?
  5. Don't think I have bought a drive through anything for along time. 50% of the time they got it wrong and I would have to go inside to get it corrected anyway. Unfortunately brain cells are not plentiful in many Timmies, McD's and even Starbuck's employees...
  6. It's all in the coffee Chris. I am very particular what pods I use. Most are rubbish and don't have enough coffee in them. Yes, french press is also good and use it often. Again the type of coffee, the grind and its freshness all contribute to great java. I like water just off the boil.
  7. To answer your question, Keurig all the way. Takes less time than drive through and costs about 1/5th of the cost of a Timmies..
  8. “Select restaurants may continue to offer take-out service in communities where there are specific needs, including locations near hospitals and healthcare facilities,” says a letter , President and CEO of Tim Hortons Restaurants of Canada. This makes a heck of a lot of sense!!!
  9. Ya don't wanna go to Sturgeon, A hairy bigfoot lives there...😆
  10. Kinda backfiring on the Saudi's right about now.
  11. I guess in my humble opinion it's still not enough. How about seizing boat and tow vehicle?
  12. What Art says. Check your insurance policies re storage of flammables, even outside. Saving 8 bucks or so a 20L can isn't worth it, but that's just me.
  13. Yup, up to 650,000 globally depending on the year, based on 2019 population. The chart showing the Covid 19 data was a moving target frozen at a point in time over a week ago. Just sayin"...
  14. Yup, me three!
  15. Have at it....I try not to post hearsay and supposition.
  16. Cliff please read you policy carefully. Many have exclusions and some specifically will not cover Pandemics!
  17. A little light humour in all of this doom and gloom.
  18. Firstly the Covid 19 Corona Virus is respiratory and not gastrointestinal. Unless you want enough TP to wrap your Christmas presents for the next 10 years quit buying and hording it. BTW reliable sources tell me that most of the TP we consume is manufactured in Quebec not China. Irresponsible tv media and of course Facebook and other social media have created panic and doomsday thinking. Remember that most social media in today's world is crap at providing correct information and terrific at providing anonymity for someone behind a keyboard! My take on the whole thing? Don't travel, at least commercially, stay away from crowds, (Costco) and wash your friggin' hands 20 times or more a day. A good friend who is knowledgeable tells me that although the virus enters the body through the nose and mouth, most dies on its way to the stomach. It also enters the body through the eyes and ears! Stop toughing your eyes, ears, nose and mouth and WASH YOUR HANDS frequently.
  19. Dem blue crabs are mighty tasty steamed up with lots of Old Bay. Catch about a bushel and invite all your pier friends..😃. Get another rod and tie a chicken neck on, if they are around you should do well. Old Bay works well with the shrimp too Cliff.
  20. Lets make some plans for 2021
  21. I'm for it Cliff, let's work on it..🙂
  22. I think that the fakes are mostly so called vintage bottles. There is always a high end market for pretty much anything where those with mega-money are willing to pay ridiculous amounts to own something that no one else has, whether it be cars, real estate, art, antiques or even scotch. I can also see where an unscrupulous distillery may "blend" different years of single malt to improve the bottom line albeit for a different market, as said earlier the Japanese and now Chinese are consuming huge quantities.
