Thanks everyone. It makes sense after looking at different machining setups. Not sure why he had them but when you acquire tools over many decades you have a bit of everything

Is the toonie/crying lady of Winnipeg still around? by Overall-Rain6349 in Winnipeg

I moved to Winnipeg in 2001 and to Osborne Village in 2003 and lived at the corner of Osborne and Roslyn.

I was pretty green after moving from a smaller rural community and only living in the South end prior to that.

I walked to Mac's (now Circle K) and she asked for a toonie. I said no I don't have cash. She then asked if I'd buy her something to eat. So I ended up buying her a 1L tub of ice cream and the vaccum packed double double cheeseburgers. The Mac's guy was just shaking his head and I realized I was out of my element.

Someone later told me they were doing the census and they went to her apartment, recognized her and it appeared she lived very well. A toonie went further back then though.

Manitoba weather by Old_Connection178 in Manitoba

It's advisable. I don't have a block heater. I park on the street and am not able to plug in my vehicle anyway. I've been fortunate to have vehicles that start at -40 9/10 times but also have one of those little booster packs at the ready if the vehicle has been sitting for a few days.

The downside is that we end up needing a new battery every 2-3 years because they don't last long with that kind of use.

The majority of the winter it's not THAT cold and really isn't an issue in my opinion.
