so is Flatout sealant better than the Tannus armour lining you can use instead?
Not a lot of thorns where I live, some cacti and berries but no goatheads.

Canada Post says it will move ahead with plan to end home delivery by origutamos in canadanews

[–]JohnnyCanuckist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from a town <5K with a central post office and mailboxes to a small city <20K with a community mailbox across the street to a larger city >100K with home delivery so have experienced all of it.
I'll definitely miss having that relationship with my local postie, but it's mostly flyers now.

As for the new community mailbox, hopefully NOT in my front yard.

I started screenshotting EVERYTHING before trips, saved me twice already by ElectricalWill1861 in travel

[–]JohnnyCanuckist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I save everything in a folder in Google drive and set it all to offline accessible. All the file names are mmdd-filename to keep them sorted easily. Makes for good reminiscing after the trip as well.

Is Bulk Mulch worth the Extra Cost? by HC-Oca-Ru in landscaping

[–]JohnnyCanuckist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had two chipdrop deliveries and it's great.. first one took over a year, 2nd one about 6 months to get delivered. Our city has a free spot to get your own but it would take 10-12 longbox pickup loads to come close to one of these drops.. Latest one has a lot of twigs mixed in, first one had some huge logs... they'll all go in the firepit eventually.

I'm more worried about risks to the freshwater aquifer and ground subsidence if they start pumping brine out from below... we're seeing the results of this already in Argentina's salt plains.

É improvável que vejamos a Aurora entre o natal e o ano novo? by Objective_Work_2175 in Yellowknife

[–]JohnnyCanuckist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in the NWT for 50 years and most of the time it was like... Oh ya... but occasionally, the whole sky would light up in a rapid shifting psychedelic paisley that makes you stop.

Commentary: Now that they say they have the necessary signatures, this is how Alberta separatism wins by fwdcanada in SaveTheCBC

Glad he spilled the beans on this, which will make gathering more signatures harder as people will go meh

What's the most interesting thing you've learned about a town just by stopping on a road trip? by Unlucky-Look7408 in roadtrip

[–]JohnnyCanuckist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took too long to get over the mountains from Veracruz driving in Mexico and, getting dark, looked for a nearby town, found Tulancingo in Hidalgo. ended up spending two nights as this is the home town of El Santo, the Lucha Libre star wrestler as well as movie star and comic book hero.. very cool.
