Patagonia is on my list of dream vacations. I already live in BC, so guess I can check that one off, though there is a lot of the province that I still haven’t appreciated.

I would imagine it is because they appreciate the simplicity of the WP operating system and the fact that it has all the apps they require access to.

When I bought a car 5 years ago they dealer had the mud flaps, floor mats, and step bars on everything. I really didn’t want the step bars and got them to take them off but in hindsight realize that I should have negotiated to get the roof rack or hitch put on in place. As it is I left some money on the table when…

Not at all. You are more than welcome to buy a belt drive bike with an internally geared hub.

I use my mower more in the winter than the summer. in the summer the grass dies and the weeds only need mowing once every 6 weeks or so.

I opt for the crescent wrench quite often, however there are situations where a ratcheting socket set makes it a lot easier. Specifically when the nut is recessed, or you only have a few inches of rotation before hitting an obstacle.

My problem is I need both a metric and an imperial socket set as there doesn’t seem to be consistent usage.

The slope is not going to be more than 80 degrees. Looking at the video we know that he drops 200 ft and just guessing from the video he moves horizontally at least 40 ft. Solving for the angle give 78 degrees.

I feel your pain, the first year of my son’s life was sleep hell. We got lucky and he has settled into a good 6:30 or 7pm bed time and 6-6:30 am wake up.

The bike commute home is definitely key to decompressing. Then once home I start prepping dinner for when the wife and kids roll up about 30 minutes later.

We added cardboard to the window this summer for both our 4 yr old and 1yr old. That made the rooms dark enough bedtime became a winnable battle .... most of the time

Wow, that is a bit of a pain with a kid that age. With my two kids we found that as they got older the length of the afternoon nap had to be monitored very closely, too long of a nap and no sleep until two hours past regular bed time, not enough sleep and they are crabby until bed time.

Cable and Internet providers in Canada are regulated by the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) For years they appeared to be a backboneless agency that did whatever the Telecom companies wanted. However in the last year or so they have started making a few decisions that seem to be in…

Here in Canada I only have to pay Telus $15 for unlimited data.

I am very surprised to see a Mana song referenced here. Used to listen to them all the time in high school when I lived in South America. Up here in Canada hardly anyone has heard of them.

Actually it has been around since Windows 8. I know because I set up an account for my 3 year old, at the time, and was impressed that I could get emails about the computer usage.

I switched to a mechanical keyboard because my finger joints were getting sore from typing on membrane keyboards where the keys need to be bottomed out to register a press.

I still love my budget 42” Panasonic Plasma that I bought way back in 2009. It is still going strong and has absolutely lovely picture quality.

I found that most jungle bugs are susceptible to the bug spray / lighter flame thrower combination.

My wife and I have started prepping freezer crock pot meals quite regularly now that she is back at work and we have two kids.
