A couple of young Entrepreneurs in the works.  My Daughter has been making spent beer grain Dog treats for over a year now that have been for sale in my bar.  She makes them, they sell out.  My Son has recently been helping her out (for a cut of course  ;D), to help her keep up.  She regularly pulls in $150-$200 per month so it's been a nice little business for her........especially as an 11 year old.  She often doesn't feel like making them as it's a 3 hour process, but she loves having a "pay cheque" every week.  :)

Damn!  Twern't me!  Thought about buying a ticket, then promptly let the feeling pass.  Good thing!  Woulda wasted 6 bucks!  Lucky 'turds whoever they are/is.

Wasted 6 bucks? You could have been $30M richer by sharing the jackpot!

Dammit! You're right!  Next week then.  $30m is better than no mill at all.  I'm gonna be in the back counting my chickens...

Never ceases to amaze me how much taking 15lbs per wheel out of unsprung weight can make the car feel so much more light on its feet.  #wintertires

Whenever I'm going to NB I now take the #A30 bypass around Montreal which opened a few years ago,   The highway goes under the canal, yeah, a tunnel/underpass for ships.  I thought that was pretty cool.

 I was just looking on Google maps and noticed something odd,   the canal doesn't go anywhere,  roads go across it on either side of the huge underpass thing, there's no point to it.

What's up with that?

I was looking at that a few weeks ago, and wondered the same thing.  I think there is a plan to reopen the canal to pleasure boats, so I assume the new highway was designed with that idea in mind.

I'm near #3 on the list...

And 6 of the top 15 are in my area.

It's nice to be safe!

Yeah, and I guess I live in a crime infested ghetto by comparison.  ::)  Actually , a son of a friend of mine is a SJPF officer. He says I'd be amazed/shocked at what goes on a just a couple of kms away from our neighbourhood.

Good thing Canadian taxpayers keep giving Bombardier money.  Let's end corporate handouts and let the weak die.

Can't do that...they are in Quebec, nothing in Quebec dies, it continues on living on taxpayers dime. They are the province that didn't stop smoking, they just stopped buying their own smokes and just bum off their friends.

Can't believe Hamilton is safer than Halton.  I feel so conflicted.  Since I live in Ancaster now (rather than Burlington), so I am part of the Hamilton township.

Thanks Gurgie.  I needed a break from the forum.  But now that I have less to do, my wife is encouraging me to go on the forum more.  But it's hard.  Since I won't be buying any vehicles for awhile, and with people teasing me about Mazda, I just don't know if I can take it!  ;)

You can just tease everyone else... suggest for Chaos to buy a champagne Corolla, watch Rrocket moan & whine about his new FGC purchase, tell Vman that the visibility out of his Camaro sucks... lots of great fun to be had  :rofl2:
