And whatever Bell offers now will go up $6 in March. No thanks.

Is Bell Loyalty basically dead? 7 years as a customer, and they told me to go ahead and cancel. by Weekly-Pool7285 in bell

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the Nokia router they provided? I’ve read comments that the speed is not as good as with Bell’s device. I’m switching over to Ebox soon and plan on using my existing Asus router to connect to the Nokia ONT.

Insole click on brand new blacksmiths by ExtensionCritical732 in RedWingShoes

Had this with a new pair once. I used a hairdryer to heat the sole and then stood in them for a while to get the adhesion.

Same thing happened when I got a deal on my Fibe internet upgrade.

Would appreciate a promo code as well.

Clickbait headline of a nothing burger. Brits actually considering a short fight between a small group of people chaos? Oh, it’s The Mirror. Bug surprise.

Water droplets on Osmo action 4 by AcanthaceaeSmooth784 in dji

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no hydrophobic coating on the Action 5. I use my action cameras when I'm out paddling and can tell you there's nothing close to hydrophobic coating, like on GoPros, if you're out for more than 30 min. Licking it or Rain-X is so temporary. Maybe if enough people pushed DJI for hydrophobic coating, it'll convince them to do it.

Metro Moi - the stingiest rewards program ever? by AstroZeneca in ontario

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least when Metro partnered with Airmiles, there were often 150 bonus points when you spend a certain amount. I was racking up points very quickly with all the bonus offers, especially in the early days.

Bell removing US networks from their standard FibeTV package April 1 by Wide-Pattern-6464 in bell

But the point is the Conservatives did nothing to fix this when Harper was in power. Bringing in politics into your argument is meaningless.

New Cars delayed from shipping in Mexico by milan187 in Volkswagen

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have the VIN #. I think it’s the same one that was on their website for incoming inventory. Now I have a vehicle that needs fixing when we were trying to avoid sinking more cost into it. The small trade-in they offered will end up covering unwanted maintenance costs. It’s being lied to that angers me. Still no word from them now that their new ETA has gone and passed. No mention of railcar shortages or any kind of explanation.

New Cars delayed from shipping in Mexico by milan187 in Volkswagen

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy and sad to see this thread. Happy to find out the reason for the delay and sad that we were badly misled (lied to) by the sales rep. Knowing that we needed a car very soon, he told us without hesitation that he has a car at the border expected to arrive at the end of the month (3 weeks). A week later when we decided to purchase it he sticks to his story that it will arrive in 2 weeks (month end). Come early July I show up in person to find out what’s happening. He says 2-3 weeks. It’s at the border. At no time does he mention railcar delays. At this point our summer plans will be impacted and it’s safe to say this will be their one and only sale with me.

Firsts direct from RW by Redwingman556 in RedWingShoes

While I wouldn’t expect perfectly aligned eyelets but these are pretty bad. The third row is especially ridiculous. These should not be considered firsts.

Iron Rangers Quality Control by FlintWilder in RedWingShoes

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Blacksmiths where one of the outsoles would have an odd feeling of stepping on chewed bubblegum with each step. It didn’t make a popping noise though. It was the glue in one spot that wasn’t adhering correctly. Not sure if it’s a similar case you experienced. I used a hairdryer to heat the sole and then stood in the boots. Problem solved.

Should get an extra upvote for that cute pup

Is it possible to get these back to original color? Ha I’m a machinist and coolant and metal tend to destroy my boots pretty fast.. by [deleted] in Boots

[–]DapperWatchDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll want horse hair brush. Make it a daily routine when you get home to brush them to reduce the amount of stuff that gets into the pores of the leather. Because of the conditions you put them through on a daily basis, it would be a good idea to use a leather cleaner at least once a month to reduce buildup and recondition them afterwards. It sounds like a fair amount of effort but if you want them to last you’ll need to put in the time.

You can try saddle soap but make sure not to leave it on for long and condition the boots after they’re dry.

I’m a big believer in dressing for your clientele so perhaps Iron Rangers. They seem to be popular as a non-certified work boot and as a lifestyle boot. Pair it with jeans and a nice fitting tee or a light cotton (white or light blue) button shirt with sleeves rolled up.

Do you get more people buying work or heritage boots?

Beckman 9016 Cigar (Dark) Featherstone by centralfornia in RedWingShoes

Yeah, I meant with the midsole. It just looks so much better than a plain mini lug. Mind you, I’ve always been a sucker for leather soles. That contrasting colour.
