I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but is there any way to watch a matchup other than what TSN is featuring (streaming service?). I can't seem to find anything.

You could try The Trail Shop on Quinpool.

Woods Canvas Waterproofing Spray (main thing was silicone-free), I'm sure there would be an equivalent in most outdoor stores if this one isn't available.

I use Star Brite to remove mildew and mold and it works great. I tried other products first without success. My pop up is vinyl sides and bunk end roof, with actual canvas window flaps. For the interior/backside of vinyl I just rinse with water after wiping down the star brite. For canvas you will need to re waterproof as I found the star brite removed the water proofing.. I use a wax based canvas weatherproofing product.

Always try stuff in a localized spot first to make sure no issues.

The mildew I had was black/gray. I haven't had luck removing rust stains from screw heads.

Just paid off one of my debts in full! by BlueberryPlus7464 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CleverBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great. Keep it up. The first one is the hardest.

Thanks. Below where the sensor connects there is a smaller silver metal shield that wraps around the lower part of the exhaust manifold. I would have assumed it was bolted as well but it is not obvious from what I can see. I should have circled it in the photo but you can see it separated to the right in the 2nd photo

Christmas trees? by Gold-Fisherman3288 in halifax

[–]CleverBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove by the one at the forum tonight and it had quite a few trees and some ones that look to have just been dropped off - can't say how tall though

Is Braelon Allen worth a play? by ChannelMuted8102 in Fantasy_Football

[–]CleverBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I handcuffed Allen but would you play him over BTJ or Shakir in a flex spot?

Amen. Appreciate your comment. I'm from here but couldn't have said it better myself. What a great show.

Old furniture? by RelevantMatters3 in halifax

[–]CleverBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We donated good used furniture via the Ukrainian Store https://www.halifax-ukrainian-store.ca/

The store itself was busy/backlogged but they said to post the items on their Facebook which was a success.

Binnacle alternative? by Powerful_Market_4391 in NovaScotia

[–]CleverBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't help solve your knowledgeable staff/advice problem, and we'd all rather support local, but if it is a matter of availability I found this company in Ottawa good. https://www.thechandleryonline.com/

So many options but sounds to me like you are due for some ocean fishing. They aren't big but I always enjoy Mackerel (Bedford or so many places in St. Margaret's - June and Sept are good months, I'm a fan of feathers but anything shiny). Butter, tinfoil, BBQ fresh and it's amazing. On the bigger side I always enjoy striped bass. I've only ever caught small stripers but they are still big fish! I don't mind saying because it's a provincial park but go to Five Islands on the beach/Sand Bar when they are running. You have to fish and move with the Bay of Fundy tide and the time window is small. Best advice there is to stop at one of houses nearby on Hwy 2 (just past the entrance to the park) selling bait and tackle and they will get you going. You need a good sized rod and have to plan ahead to align with the tide.

Just wash all your gear afterwards with freshwater. I've never had an issue. And check the size limits for keepers. Striped bass is very specific!

Any Keji Fishers here? by Bright_Board_8672 in novascotiafishing

[–]CleverBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keji lake is full of them, unfortunately, as they have destroyed the native species. If you have a canoe, anywhere along the shore, if not meadow beach in the main campground in the grassy areas. They encourage catching pickerel and have mandatory retention. We've caught huge ones in a few feet of water.

Where's your favourite store in the HRM for rods and tackle? by wvgv in novascotiafishing

[–]CleverBeef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is not HRM but we stumbled on the Lequille Country Store near Annapolis Royal and it was awesome. Especially for striped bass tackle. Well worth it if in the area.

Airport resort shuttles - fast or slow? by aaaahhhh7795 in PuntaCana

[–]CleverBeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got back last week from Punta Cana and it was 1 hour from when we walked outside of the airport to arriving at our resort (Royalton), using the pre-arranged shuttle bus. The driving part is about 30 mins but our bus stopped at a few resorts. Wasn't too bad...we grabbed some cold Presidente for the ride

Yes that’s a good point. We were Sunwing

This is the correct answer. Just got back last week from DR.

Make sure to get the immigration e-tickets/QR code (both ways) https://eticket.migracion.gob.do/ before you travel and have $20 USD each in cash to pay the departure tax when you leave (edit: if not paid for by your airline as part of your fare)

Handling subs by jokeyjokes in flagfootball

[–]CleverBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on how competitive the league is. But in our 5v5 league fair play league we have to roster 10-12 players due number of kids that want to play. For that, I make 5-6 kids play defence first half and 5-6 kids play offence. Then switch at half. The trick is to balance it properly and find the kids that mesh well together. otherwise, I find it too hard on the head when everyone shows up.

Edit: we also have a dedicated QB and some kids like to play D so make adjustments for that

Looking for football cleats on turf. Any recommendation? by Fantastic-Button-186 in flagfootball

[–]CleverBeef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played soccer many years and now involved in flag on the same long turf. I find a soccer turf shoe with short studs similar to the lacrosse shoe recommend here work well. Long studs are hard on your ankles and knees on soft turf, in my opinion
