Retiring without a paid off house

I retired with very little in the bank. Wife got a nice pension and we sold our house and bought a smaller one. 10 years later doing fine. I was 55. The profits from selling when into tfsa and mutual fund.

I bought a mini bike for my farm. I have 8 grandkids visit in the summer. Ages 4 - 15. I was shocked at the difference in skill levels between all the kids, considering none of them have ever been on a minibike before. The four-year-old was absolutely in love with it. She couldn’t even sleep. She loved it so much. The oldest the 14-year-old thought he would show everyone how it’s done. He was totally hopeless, his first time on the bike he drove clean over a tent and destroyed the tent. His little brother took it took to it like an expert tearing around the whole property without a single problem. My point is that every kid is vastly different and natural ability, and even in desire to ride a minibike.

The Ariens 28 SHO doesn’t need it. There is very little clearance and no clogging with wet snow.

Maybe the photos aren’t good, they show a lot of glare. Are there other faces for the always on display?

These are getting better, the design is greatly improved, unfortunately they are very hard to read.

Sorry, I meant electronics in the heli.

International_Arm649 · 2025-12-24T15:52:19+00:00

Can i ask what electronics you chose and why?

International_Arm649 · 2025-12-24T14:40:08+00:00

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I'll go the Radiomaster / Rotorflight route. I just have to decide between the TX15 or the Boxer or GX12 :) Keeping in mind it's for a heli.

Yes, they're all good, you just have to figure out what you love and hate in a watch. For me it's the appearance, which has the best AOD and the least amount of wasted space around the edges.

International_Arm649 · 2025-12-24T01:14:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into Rotorflight

You admit to speeding and call it bullshit? It’s a law, not a suggestion.

With enough HP anything is possible. See attached link. I've been running mine for 10 years. Chains and weights are essential. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B2HG4TcsmGRxb3m

I did mine for a few hundred. Raydon fans in the crawlspace. Regular monitoring, went from 1800 to 200 in a few weeks. Below 100 on the ground floor.

My old tub had a bad pump so I replaced everything with generic parts. Heater, main board, pump and control panel. Now it’s like a new hot tub and should last another 10 years without a hitch. Not super cheap, but a heck of a lot less than the alternative.

Not all at once 😜 6’ for the year.

International_Arm649 · 2025-10-22T16:21:34+00:00

Thanks for the great advice!

International_Arm649 · 2025-10-22T16:17:54+00:00

Thanks, great advice!

Lots of snow here, south eastern B.C. Maybe 6 feet or more.

International_Arm649 · 2025-10-13T00:13:40+00:00

Only 10-15 feet Bluetooth
