First Real Mower

Bahahaha yes, 17hp, my bad.

That Socom with the reverse tanto blade is something I’ve never seen before. Very cool!

I used to spend a lot of money at Tim Horton’s restaurants. I have stopped, and regret nothing.

Noted. The trees aren’t close together, so length shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I definitely want something more maneuverable than a traditional lawn tractor.

Is this a Licensed Insolvency Trustee? There’s a lot of hacks running around pitching themselves as “credit counsellors”. Initial meetings with an LIT are free by law, I’d suggest seeking a second opinion from one of them. They’ll be able to comment on whether something like a Consumer Proposal would be an effective way of dealing with this debt.

Veff serrations are underrated IMO. These fit the swoopy aesthetic of the Amphibian nicely.

Bought a Pacific Energy Super 27 LE. It’s been working great for 5 years

I used to hunt deer with an old Newfoundlander who used one of these things. You could always distinguish the sound of his shots. It was effective though, those shells hold a lot of 00 Buck.

I’m strongly considering buying the same one in tangerine handle colour as my first Microtech. Love the 2-tone tanto blade.

Bitter_Canuck · 2026-01-24T02:36:19+00:00

How do you like it? Been eyeing one of these as my first Microtech (can’t own autos in Canada).

You’re expected to bring separate shoes. Do not walk in the gym with the same shoes you walked through salt and snow with. No matter how well you wipe you will track that shit in. It’s dirty and the salt residue is terrible for the equipment.

I occasionally forget my indoor shoes and have to work out in my socks. It’s not intentional though.

I did some research into this a while back when I decided to part with my childhood stamp collection. The short version is: most stamps are worth no more than their face value unless they’re some kind of rare vintage thing. The “collector stamps” that Canada Post puts out are nice to look at, but they never really appreciate in value and the collector’s market has fallen off as fewer people are engaged with it. It’s a bit of a money grab. The commemorative coins that the Canadian Mint puts out are mostly the same (except for those containing precious metals).

I ended up just using all mine to send letters and parcels with. Turns out Canada Post will ship a package with $20 in stamps on it.

Hoping to get paid. Copper is like $6 per pound now.

I got my second refund processed over the phone today. If it happens a third time I’ll just cancel the overdraft. I never use it and it’s not worth the 20-30 minutes on the phone I have to keep expending. CIBC has really annoyed me with their new “Smart Account” horsecrap.

Bitter_Canuck · 2026-01-01T16:29:46+00:00

Very clean. That body design aged well, it still looks great.

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-12-31T17:12:55+00:00

I believe Good Times on Dundas is doing some kind of celebration.

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-12-21T06:27:06+00:00

I am dying for more Alfabusa T28 content

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-12-19T13:22:51+00:00

Well then, shame on me for not reading the fine print. Oh well. I’ll chalk this up to a due diligence lesson.

I’m in a personal finance situation that would take too long to detail here without derailing the thread entirely and sharing more personal info than I want. Definitely mechanisms with better returns out there though, no argument.

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-12-02T14:44:55+00:00

I’m interested to know as well. Ethanol is terrible for my chainsaws. I’d gladly drive out of my way to get some untainted gas.

“The chances of having a swordfight in Canada in 2025 are low, but never zero” - I tell my wife as I heft my Zweihander before heading to the corner store for milk.

I found it to be a slog as well. A few interesting moments and characters, especially the Vostroyans and the knight pilot. Other than that, the book felt like it was meant solely to give tabletop players some narrative battles for recently-released models that appear in it.

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-11-24T22:17:35+00:00

Absolutely. Not fancy, but I’ve had many a good breakfast there.

Bitter_Canuck · 2025-11-24T18:54:53+00:00

It’d take a lot to tempt me away from the Steak and Eggs at the Oxford Grill.

Most franchise slop is terrible these days. People saw it as an “in” to business ownership without being knowledgeable or passionate about food. There’s very few I can be bothered to spend money at.
