Some alligator lizards getting it on at Galena Bay.

TL;DR

The wind in Edmonton blows cause …..


Calgary sucks!

There was a time when the Leafs were majority owned by the Ont Teachers Pension Fund. The team was designed to generate revenue, and somehow it was decided that playoff was good, but winning a cup...

Yes, at least as of 2017, Ford retained their horrible placement of their manual window levers. But I also can appreciate a proper base work p/u.

Expecting a couple 2500 Chevys and a Ford f450...

Yes, except for the stick - that takes a special factory order. All our fleet trucks are base, but base does mean something different with each mfr. Ford comes with the least, one of ours only has...

Ha! In addition to the Silverado, my daily driver is a ‘03 taco xcab with the 3.4. Love that little truck (as I loved my ‘85 Marty McFly p/u before her), but yes, my 188cm 100kg frame wouldn’t fit...

It’s that combination of demure and sleazy that draws us in like siren drew sailors onto the rocks. Most can’t handle the heat. C’est la vie.

The ones I saw previous to this current craze was Vancouverites or other lower mainland folk moving to Nelson and similar areas. They couldn’t move back to Vancouver without a major loss, but they...

It will be interesting to see how many WFH expats to the boonies will stay more than a year or two. A bit more obvious here in bumfuck nowhere, but I’ve seen many urban and suburban refugees head to...

Canadian datapoint that may be of relevance:

1)All firearms and ammunition sales first require the buyer to have a license to buy/borrow/trade (which requires training in the class of firearm the...

FWIW, I’ve had a 2015 Chevy 1500 since new, and only repair issue has been a short when a driver’s side wiring harness got a rub spot. Just turning 70000km, mostly highway and often towing a 5000lbs...

Is that a can inside a can?

Knock knock knock - “Hey, it’s Dave. Let me in man.”

“Who, Dave? Dave’s not here man.”



Seriously though, this tragedy breaks my heart. And reading much of this thread angers me not a...

Going to sleep before the sun comes up when visiting Amsterdam. You are officially old mr liv2ski.

This gobbler ran across the lawn while enjoying a morning coffee with Dad. It wasn’t wait I’m got pose, must have somehow lost its flock. Lots in the neighbourhood but generally do not visit Dad’s...

Yep, there is no down and dirty that matches easy and effective. It’s pricey, but I treat my cedar panel fence and decks railings with Sikkens SRD. Last application lasted 10yrs, then pressure washed...

Hey, solid GenX here with a SP vax scar.

I thought the same.
As mentioned more than once, El Hefe is a very fortunate man.

Ouch. My sympathies.

With a nurse wife, and a daughter cursed with my sensitive sinuses, I’ve been relying on the rapid tests wife give daughter almost weekly to gauge if I need to take my...

Fun game to watch. For a game or two. Suck the casual viewers in to watch (like me). But like said above, this was a game of shinny and not really the kind of play-off hockey to keep me engaged.
...

Essential services like healthcare is served by 3 towns - Castlegar, Trail and Nelson. Trail and Nelson used to be run by old Italian families, not sure if that is the case so much these days. Lots...

Damn bunch of navel geezers here. The best time to be alive is right here, right now. Everything else is a memory or hopes & dreams.

There’s magic in every decade I have lived, 70’s through to...

Close to my argument when the crusty US draft dodger kootenay hippy corrected me as I was wrenching on my truck in his shop for a rate a young broke buck could afford. He lectured me for several...

Ha! I still have one in my 03 taco to plug into the old MP3 player (which is also on death row).

If you were talking just bikes I could forgive...



Thank you Mr Chup, you know your wrenching. Working on automotive vehicles that are spec’s to imperial measurements means you are using...

Office was in some new terrain today. Nice views looking east to Kamloops on the way home.

Made up for the busy JOHS meeting in the AM.

Been an interesting spring so far, cool and moderately dry. If the old timers rule of snow off the closest alpine peak to town before plant, it might be June.

Little deer browse this year so far,...

TX Pros with old freerides inbound (on old Mantras), and just set up my TTS with Zeds on some G3 slayers. Along with the zeds, I picked up some long tour cartridges from voile as my previous TTS...

Sweet haul!

Can relate. It keeps the hounds from getting into it.





We were talking about personal backyard constitutionals, Right?

My thoughts as well. That one remaining stalk looks to have browsed leaves?

First time here all our tulips have made it to bloom without the flower buds being clipped by deer. A couple of nibbles...

Hermaphrodite, Monoecious, Androecious, Gynoecious, Andromonoecious, Gynomonoecious, Trimonoecious/polygamous. Using wind, water, insect and animal pollinators. There’s something for everyone’s kink.

Sex among the plant kingdom is pretty crazy. On the seed front, in ecologies that have rare or infrequent stand initiating events, the ability of pioneer and colonizer species to seedbank in the duff...

Thanks for doing the legwork. Still find it silly that one has a ‘right’ to delete their contributions to a conversation, or even the whole conversation, in a manner similar to the little boy taking...

Curious - does content include posts, or is it restricted to audio and visual ‘content’? For sure some prose on here might be interpreted as content, but I do wonder at the intent of that Terms of...

Best rust inhibitor I’ve found so far is corrosion-X. I use it on my receiver hitch and ball since the powder coat has worn off, on aluminum where the clear coat has failed and filiform rust has...

Oh, I think one a bit less than ‘massive’ would likely do the trick ;)

Nothing odd in my will. Everything to my wife, or daughter as the case may be. As for my remains, not really concerned about worms, but would like to limit the amount of benefit the capitalist...

^That’s a good one!

That dog-awful perfume (that you rolled in) does not endear me to you.

And:

Who’s ready to get a wash with the garden hose?

Yes, but not in this town anymore. Timber supply changes and reductions didn’t support continued investment in both mills that were here at the time. That particular company did operate here for...

You are such a small pathetic little entity. It’s about economies of scale. I’m a little guy. But we just got success in building an outdoor classroom for the primary grade school. My wife is a...

But his patient was!

Looks like you are an inspiration Mr. Ötzi. https://www.otzigear.com/en-ca
“Our brand name “Otzi” refers to a prehistoric mountaineer who was discovered with innovative outdoor tools. We were...

I hear you. And don’t mistake my gripe with a desire to avoid taxes. I am willing to pay more, for better funding schools, hospitals, public infrastructure, etc. But the tax on gas doesn’t go there...

Good day at the office. Didn’t find any courting raptors, but rousted a few chickens and a swamp donkey. Wish we were able to work higher up where they got 70cm fresh this past Sunday/Monday....

I’d be happy if they just removed all the subsidization of the o&g sector. Especially the remediation costs of abandoned wells, tailings ponds and the like. Taxes always seem to be a last ditch...

Never heard of it, interesting dive into the googles. Grain alcohol with a hint of aspirin.

Perfect for the morning after caesar?

That’s one confused conifer.

Actually, spruce needle tea is pretty good, but it has properties similar to chamomile in that you might get a bit drowsy afterwards. Don’t imbibe before the long...

That was my first thought :D
