The cities on the coast, where Live2ski is, might actually have that $1000/month option if that supports a desalinization plant. But yep, the agriculture is gone, and wealth disparity affecting those...

So hard to visit this thread. Lexa is slowing down quite a bit and it's always the heat of the summer that is hardest on the northern breeds.

Sending vibes to everyone who makes room in their...

4 yards is a tough number though. A nice tandem axle dump truck holds approx 10yards. 1/2 ton pickup about 1.5 yards. Moving earth isn't cheap.

With the past few days in the mid 20's and nights...

Damn, and ol' Mike doesn't mess around. Tough place.

Got the pfizer #1 as part of a community vaccination. Just 12 hrs of sore arm, followed by 12hrs of soreness at the injection site. No other symptoms significant enough to mention.
Wife got the...

They actually carried through with that recall option plan?!? Oh my. I wonder what damage control analysis suggested that was the proper course of action? To be a fly on the wall in Yvon's office, or...

I would have been tempted to through in a Canadian province or a country/state in Asia or Africa, just see if the respondents were paying attention.

Probably just returned from a nooner at Club SuperSex.

I don't think you are reprehensible, but perhaps a but selfish ;)

As our population increases, so does the cost to flush the toilet, turn on the tap, provide hospitals, schools, policing,...

Heh.
No.

Ya, I don't trust any autosave web browser or other keeping my cc info. No online wallet with access to any funds. Every purchase I make gets a manual entry; I have one cc card memorized, along with...

I try to look at the entire taxation, but by your charts, BC is in the middle of the road there, at least my location is. After my homeowner grants, I pay around 1% in property taxes. And like I...

Yup. I lose no sleep over the taxes I pay. Most our property tax here is set by the municipality or regional district, so it is way easy to go to council meeting and protest tax increases that are...

As I am fond of telling my wife, no such thing as a free lunch. We play the points game against all the other sheep consumers but the real winner is the cc company.

We have a dividend card, and a...

Missing a dimension on that cubic calculation. 3X3X3=27cubic ft per cubic yard. 100/27 is 3.7cubic yards

Cable cut since 2004 (same time DSL became widespread in many BC small towns). Currently with a sub to Netflix and Prime, use ExpressVPN to access content outside our region and for torrent...

This.

Hah! Yep. I was puttering in the yard earlier this week, and was looking at a bed, and thought, 'hey, maybe I can take some compost and turn it in now. Snow's been off the ground for almost 2 weeks...

Mark me another that likes the soft opening of the tailgates. The new work 2500 chevy has the auto open one, no idea why it is necessary except all the heavy electronics to make it auto perhaps...

Coif'efe

It they would locally stock it, I would always have a few at hand. After a hard sweat, nothing better than an ice cold moosehead.
But in the evening accompanying a meal, we tend to a solid german...

Seriously? That's fucked. First they screw around with the beta ar pants by removing the full side zip, and now no bibs? Maybe they'll keep some proper SV shell bibs with their guide/patrol line.

My 30yo doc martens are still going strong. Working 4yrs everyday in the hotels during uni, now they come out once or twice a year. Once they were broken in, they are as comfortable as any footwear I...

SHINJUKU MUTHA FUCKA!

The trifecta still is working in our favour: Space to fuck up, Resources to consume, Procreation is still positive. Until one of those elements are stressed, genius/stupidity has nothing to do with...

What do you need tenure when the lot size is 1017km2? I mean, WB only has a measly 33km2

Heh. Local S.Slocan area PoPo just wanted an excuse to stop in at the Hungry Wolf Cafe.

The interest alone on all the borrowed capital used to secure the orders on the goods in those containers is likely a boatload of cash. For the CN rail line here, when the train is stopped, after an...

I wonder when the last time that canal was properly dredged.
Haven't spoken to dad yet about this fiasco, he spent much of his late teens and early 20's as an ABS on various cargo ships going...

DRITTSEKK DOWNHILL!!!!

Heh. A DUI in Canada falls under the criminal code, so it is always either a summary or indictable offence. It is up to the prosecutor mainly to determine if it is a summary offence (1st charge, no...

We have Indictable offences and Summary offences. Indictable can be either jury or a judge, while summary offences are usually only presided over by a judge. There are many more nuances, that I'll...

Any apiarists in here? For the first time in my expereince, it seems like we have a small honeybee colony in our compost bin. We have a couple of those conical composters, and I rotate them so that...

Just talked ti dad last night. He live 8hrs away, still in the family home. Mom passed 6ys ago this Sept. He told me he was up on the roof sweeping the chimney Saturday. But it's OK, his buddy of the...

I must say I really enjoy my TTS/speed turn2.0 with TX Pros for touring. I also love my leather wasatch duckbills for meadowskipping in either switchback X2 on metal edged XC, or on true skinnies...

Going from the southern 48 to AK falls under some form of treaty along the alcan hwy. The restricted weapons (handguns and some others) are the big issue concern, but as long as the declaration is...

I was thinking the same thing...



But if this is true, you must have come through the Waneta border crossing and not Nelway. I always had issues with going south through Nelway.

Seems the crowding is going on most everywhere. Lots of new folk in the bc here too, both sledders and skiers/boarders. Locals lamenting their tracked out honeyholes that they've had to themselves...

Well, the end of the saga happened today.
Got a note a couple days ago apologizing for mixing up my return - had to remind them upon receiving an email that I had received my return in Dec (true...

We've only ever had outside cats growing up, with lifespans that varied from a few months, to almost 2 decades. They also ran the gamut of only showing up for a snack and a scratch once in a while,...

Our sled deck is aluminum where the scratchers run. Those steel scratchers on Al put my teeth on edge. The sled trailer we use sometimes has a wood deck, and it has lots of gauges from those double...

Careful which cable scratchers you get. I've got a set on mine that are stiff as fuck and do a great job. A work sled got a different cable scratcher with a softer (smaller diameter?) cable with some...

We would consider a family season's pass if the nearest big ski area was closer, but Sun Peaks is 280km round trip, so fuel for a day trip would be about $35 with the car or $50 with the truck. Day...

And sometimes the greatest act of matrimony is refraining from rubbing their nose in it.

The Flying Dutchman!

I'm not saying it will ultimately sort itself out cause we can't let it. The interface is too large, for both rural residential and agriculture interests. It bleeds over and we tend to wield the...

Neither of these arguements are correct. The biggest influence that prevents 'balance' is humans. With regards to wolves, they will self regulate given time, but we aren't that patient. Usually the...

Land management descisions are incredible complex, and not getting any easier. Everyone has an opinion about what they want their version of wilderness to be, but how is it determined which vision...

None are mine - I suck with the camera. I've seen a couple of pack take-downs from the air similar to the first 3 photos when working in the Ominecas years ago. The last pic of a hamstrung cow was...

Yup, the realities of the body do not tend to jive with our romantic notions of the spirit, for just about any flesh and blood aspect of our world. Mother Nature (heh) is amazingly beautify, but is...
