If you guys are serious, I'd make the trip. I've been to the Red Barn in Moosomin a few times when I was doing some Enbridge work in Cromer.

Tripped over power cable. Thinkpad X240 falls of table and onto floor. I gasp.

My old Thinkpad had a fall sensor to park HD heads.

Speaking of head, lack of caffine headache.  Argh...

Hmmm... See a 2006 Forester with 135k kms and manual transmission with an asking price of $6000... If they come down a grand or so that's a mighty tempting proposition for a winter car.

I know rrocket will say it's very unreliable. Anything I should look out for when testing? Of course I'd take it to a mechanic but first I'd drive it and such

RUST! Wheelwells! Bubbling! Those mid-2000s Subarus will rust like Mazdas if they aren't observed with a keen eye and maintained accordingly.

Yup, Beechcraft 1900.  Not sure if it's a C or D.

I'm normally on an ATR 42 however the manifest was light today for some reason  :).

Best Buy is selling the following for $150 which they say is a $25 savings!

Apple TV
$25 iTunes card
6 Ft HDMI cable

WOW, what a rip off considering an ATV is ONLY $110.
