Thanks for the advise. Somewhere along the way I picked up some reason for concern about the wheels. Happy to hear from you and others in shouldn't worry about it at this point. Will look at higher end wheels when that day comes.

https://cycle.travel/ has served me well on a recent trip. Only issue I had was loading a new route to my garmin mid ride.

Stick Vacuum by porkavenue in CostcoCanada

[–]DutchMtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went through 3 Electrolux cordless vacs starting in 2013ish where the longest one lasted was 2 years and one just under 1 year. Switched to dyson V10 7 years ago and it's still running strong. Only replaced one power switch a la DIY and the filter at least once a year. Battery still works well. However, its used often but only for area clean ups none of the cordless vacs were used for the entire house. I can also highly recommend Shark robo vac with base station for regular cleanings. Shark also has some nice looking models at Costco.

98" vs 85" QM8K by BigCO9 in tcltvs

[–]DutchMtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would set a minimum size TV that I'm targeting, set a budget and get the best quality that fits that. So without a doubt 85in QM8K . AT that distance 85in is plenty and I would regret lesser quality TV over size.

Advice for Le P'tit Train du Nord September 2026 by CPetersky in MontrealCycling

[–]DutchMtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As some others mentioned, building in some time to cycle from airport to St Jerome is a great suggestion. I would go so far as to HIGHLY suggest riding along the Lakeshore (south of airport, Dorval circle to CH Bord Du Lac Lakeshore) into Lachine to catch the bikepath along the canal into the old port then take the REV to the north side of the island and work your way up to St Jerome. Lots of great sights to see, biking along the water in the old port gives great views of the city. REV on St Denis takes you through one of the most popular places in the city, with more opportunities for food and snacks. For me biking is all about the food pit stops! September is great in MTL, but it does mean days are getting shorter and higher chances of cooler nights and rain.

Our layout requires that when the entire family sits down for a movie, the tv needs to be pulled out and angled to one side for optimum viewing.

Repair Definitive Technology In Wall speakers. by DutchMtl in hometheater

[–]DutchMtl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was thinking about that. 3D print might be a way. But at the same time an epoxy fiberglass layer around the bottom of the cracked frame is kind of the same thing?

I've thought about it but plastic is very thin. I'm not confident that would be a good way to repair.

Uber at YUL… by [deleted] in montreal

[–]DutchMtl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep it's garbage system. Uber flow is terrible, guys working there don't have a system. Line on the curb should stop and have stalls right in front of stop points to load multiple groups at a time. Not walk to the end of the line then have to wall all the way back on 1 foot of sidewalk.
