Someone on facebook marketplace here has an ad selling Vintage Tim Horton's coffee lids, $25 .

FOR SALE:  Vintage Tim Hortons lids.  Fits Small & Medium cups.  Going fast!  No holds!...

Does "vintage" mean old and found in the garbage? Amazing what people will try to sell.

I saw a gravel bike listed on FB where the ad said the new version is $2700 so buy mine for $999. I looked up the models and their bike originally sold for $999 four years ago and the new one was nothing like theirs. Nice try.

I was having a nice nap with my Bluetooth speaker crankin’ out the rock music (I can fall asleep to that easy) and somewhere in the middle of dreamland I remembered...

Did I mention that at my friends cabin in the bay by Kenora he made us take out his little seadoo spark?  90 hp and about 450 lbs. it’s a dirtbike in and on the water. What a blast.

Then before lunch he says, you wanna try the other one?  Hmmm, not sure (yes, but it’s way more $ and it’s the 230 hp supercharged one, what if I break it?). Ok. I will. Arm twisted.

90 hp Spark. Impressed. Plenty quick. Lots of fun. Want one. Then...

230 hp -   :o  :o :o  :o double that and make it a holy facking shi# balls!!!!!  Glued my sunglasses to my eye balls. Literally. They were pushed right up against my eyes.  Mother of god!!!  OMFNG that’s nuts!  And they make one with 300 hp!  Hahahahahahaha...I laughed.

I definitely should not have one of those.

Been talking to my brother this week, he's in Vancouver and is in the market for a 4x4 for camping/adventuring. He looked at 1994 Isuzu Trooper last week with only 140k on it. Seemed like a pretty good value as it was quite clean.

But, now he's interested in a RHD diesel 1991 Land Cruiser FJ80. Twice the price and a lot of KMs but it has a new centre diff, ARB lockers front and rear, a winch, Old Man Emu suspension, etc. Pretty cool truck.

Will be interesting to see what he gets!

So, I regularly have dreams about tornados.  Usually it's just five or six (!!!!) Twisters in the distance not coming any closer, but still kind of a tornado Armageddon type dream.  I'll usually wake up from those dreams, take a deep breath, and fall back asleep.

It's odd, because I'm not particularly scared of tornados.  I'm actually fascinated with them, and would love to see one or two (from a distance) before I die. 

Anyway, last night I had a similar dream, except one comes straight at our house.  It passes over our house leaving the house intact and my family uninjured, so far so good.  Then I go outside (in my dream), and find that another vehicle has been deposited on the Tundra, crushing the front of it and writing it off.  That's when I woke up.  At 4am.  And couldn't fallback asleep.  I decided to get up and play a computer game in peace until my family woke up 3 hours later.

Such a weird dream.  Maybe I need a therapist.

Oh Ya, the first thing I did when I left the bedroom is go to the front room and peek out the window to see if the truck was okay, lol!

It's always great to see the Prairie Dog Central.  I'm way overdue for a ride since I haven't been on it since I was a kid.

To me, being old.     Train is enough definition when it is driven by steam.   All other means of propulsion for vehicles on rails  need a modifier.  Like gas turbine, diesel, electric, hybrid    before the word train.

They’re here as well, plus some old Broncos, but many, many JL Jeeps. Local rental fleets.

Maybe it is rejecting its birth status as a van and is now self-identifying as a sedan.  Who are we to judge?  I wonder if all the other sedans will be uncomfortable if this one tries to use their service bays...

I posted a couple of things on Kijiji to sell.  Should be good for a few laughs.
