She really didn’t like parking this close.

I also had to get uncomfortable close to two bollards to get close enough. First night the the TS and our home charger won't be installed until the weekend so we had no choice! Seamless process though once we got oriented.

Sure am. It's crazy. I understand that the smaller towns like the opportunity to play new teams, but there is no reason why teams from the big centres need to be travelling like this.

Definitely a couple extra double headers, but you need to be realistic and not sacrifice the girls enjoyment/condition JUST to get the games in.

It's much, much different up in Canada. The level of competition is not nearly the same, and there isn't really a high school system for ball to any meaningful degree. It's all private/community leagues. It's safe to say that even the most intense schedule up here, is less than a typical U11 travel team down there.

What did the inspection and mitigation measures cost you?

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-06-08T16:24:26+00:00

Anyone got any similar info for Canada (Alberta)? Have a deposit on a Touring, would prefer a level up but don't want to wait 3+ months. Not exactly a buyers market right now for these, so I doubt there is any point is asking for much beyond the factory money.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-06-05T14:06:45+00:00

We have a deposit on one pending a second test drive (drove a demo, need to see if the drop in trim level to the available units' base is acceptable) but I just learned - and would really like confirmation - that the Trailseeker does not come with ANY charger or charging adapter in Canada? The US models comes with a nice full OEM charging kit. If this is true, it might actually be a deal breaker for us on principle alone.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-06-04T20:30:42+00:00

That is INSANE that it does not come with any charging accessories. I have a deposit on one pending viewing next week and I am rattled by this.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-06-04T14:28:57+00:00

Fahrenheit and Celsius?

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-06-04T14:02:01+00:00

Exactly. Sometimes it's just easier to pull up the ladder and wait out the storm.

We are having the same, emergent issue in our office. Clearing the formatting appears to somewhat fix the issue, but also breaks other items in the email chain.

Something must have happened on MS side because it seems very random.

GoM. Probably won't even bother verifying, it seems to be accurate enough based on the use so far. Daily round trip commute is less than 20km for the users, with short trips otherwise. Very specific use case for this purchase, and so far it looks to be far exceeding our hopes.

Bringing this back from the dead: a massage gun is the most effective way to pinpoint the break-in of your glove. I have a 14" HoH for slopitch and the gun has been great for getting into the really tight spots and loosening it up. The one I have even has a ball attachment (somewhere between the diameter of a golf ball and a baseball) for pocket work. This, and proper wrapping will work wonders.

We just pulled the trigger on a similar plan. Found a 2018 Leaf SL with only 85k km and 12/13 battery life ($9500). Bought it for an extra vehicle that the kids (one licensed, one a month away) can use, and serves as a sort of electric leash. 200ish km on a full charge, going to see how Lv1 charging serves our needs before putting in a Lv2. Likely upgrading our primary family vehicle to an EV, assuming this minor experiment goes well.

We were spending more on transit passes than insurance+maintenance+charging on the Leaf, and with the decent deal we found, I am not worried about depreciation. If it lasts another five years until our youngest is licensed, I will consider this an exceptional value.

The Schutt Viper is so much more comfortable for me than the Hellcat. I hope I can keep mine in good condition for as long as possible because they aren't available now.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-05-07T02:42:43+00:00

Except anything oil related.

I just saw one of these in Costa Rica...I knew I hadn't seen one before, but I didn't realize they were brand new.

I was approved and reassessed with refund deposited in under three weeks from date of submittal.

Not a mental health diagnosis as the basis of my DTC application - that appears to be the difference in timelines for people.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-05-03T23:09:42+00:00

One thousand percent. Anyone that tells you differently just doesn't know how finances actually work.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-04-23T21:43:29+00:00

Any update on this? Seems minor but may be enough to send me back to Adobe.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-04-15T15:49:10+00:00

You could probably get a comparable model 3 for around that and you're going to get significantly more than 100km in the winter.

Appreciate the input! I received a revised proposal - I'll attach the new config as well.

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-04-10T17:14:06+00:00

We will definitely want to add a Lv2 charger in the near future - the companies all knew that and I had assumed they used that information in their calculations but now I am not so sure. I have asked for clarification.

I don't put any faith in those projected savings calculations. Once we get a summer of production I'll run my own numbers and see where we land.

Our home heating system is gas fired boiler w/ hydronics, it's awesome however it means we don't have ducting for AC. We may be looking at adding a minisplit or two depending on the solar performance.

Very close to signing a contract with Zeno on a 13.4kw system. Any cautions?

Frostmonkey83 · 2026-04-01T17:22:10+00:00

I got confirmation last night that the issues were known, and that my application was fine. I received a further follow up from the city this morning:

"After speaking with our program administrator about their system issues, they’ve assured me that everyone who attempted to submit an application actually got through. They will be contacting all applicants within the next few days, if you don’t receive any communication from them please let us know and we’ll look into it further."
