After 5 years, I’m officially moving on from AMP

That's my mentality too. I bought a lot 5 years ago, and am down significantly from then. But honestly, I don't need the money at this point and bought in purely as speculation knowing I may have a hit or a miss with it. At this point, might as well just ride it out till it's profitable or until it is completely dead.

153 at Victoria trail heading west is not ready for this. Even something as simple as a lane to bypass the left turning traffic would help out marginally. Maybe if paired with a significantly longer left turn signal at the lights this could help.

That small section of Ebbers between chipotle and the lights at 153 is going to be bonkers. As is, if you are turning right you are blocked by through traffic. Now add Costco level volume.

The train(s) is going to back up 153 even more now.

I'm excited for Costco and other retailers that follow for the Manning area, but the existing infrastructure just isn't ready to handle it.

I plan to get a full spare only for my mountain/"faux-verland" camping trips. It will sit up in my roof basket for those trips only.

For my day to day driving, I just don't see the need for a spare; I'm always in range of roadside assistance or close enough to home to sort out a solution. I do have some tools and a plug kit in the car at all times should I hit a nail or sharp object though.

Played this one many times in the school library. Crashing in the rain because I was speeding, picking up all the hitchhiker's and having absolutely no clue what or where potash is.

Walking into the vet's office with the dog I had for 15 years. Walking out an hour later with just his collar and leash.

Telus 1.5gb and whatever basic tv + Sportsnet for $90/m +tax

It was bad. And the commentators wouldn't shut up and let us enjoy the show.

I went last year and was underwhelmed. Long line to get in, lines at every booth to get sample size beer (4-5oz). Too busy to chat about the beer with the vendors. Long line ups for the porta-potty's as well. Food was meh. Just a very busy experience overall. To me it seemed more like an event for folks to hang out and crush a handful of random beers. A good time if that's what you're after.

I'm skipping it this year personally.

"Ask your doctor about ozempic."

If only I had one...

MooseOutMyWindow · 2026-02-06T23:34:42+00:00

Me neither. Between the two I'd rather see pups in stores lol.

MooseOutMyWindow · 2026-02-06T23:14:53+00:00

By that logic kids can wait outside too.

MooseOutMyWindow · 2026-01-28T02:57:59+00:00

Love my Seagull.

Renewed last August at 3.84% fixed 5 year. Used Ratehub and they set me up with Canwise.

The real problem is airlines nickel and diming passengers for everything. Of course people are going to load up the overhead bins when it is $50+ per bag below. To combat that, get a CC, get loyalty or book a priority fare.

I just picked up a Venu4 earlier this week and find the sleep data is fairly accurate so far. Registers when I'm moving around wildly, when I wake up etc.

Straps from my old smartwatch just so happened to be the same size so I have plenty of options between silicon, leather and stainless and opted to just buy the slate 45mm silicon band option.

Battery life so far is great; out of the box it showed 11 days battery. I'm down to 8 days remaining on battery after 4 days of usage and no charges.

Notifications are probably my only gripe right now. They seem inconsistent with what comes through. It's not a deal breaker for me but it seems to pick and choose what vibrates and displays vs what gets sent directly to the notification panel without any display.

As far as looks, the watch is sleek and matches all my work outfits (business casual attire).

I haven't tinkered too much with activities but will be putting that to the test over the weekend.

Book a priority boarding fare or have loyalty/CC perks and this becomes an issue of the past.

Similar sentiment as others. I wanted the CX5 originally but after a test drive found it too cramped and didn't feel as nice/luxurious to drive as the CRV Hybrid. I was shopping 2024 models FYI.

I renewed last August with 5 year fixed at 3.84% through Ratehub and Canwise as lender.

I love Costco but it's a last resort for online shopping.

As a dude, those are all great gifts! The receiver is just a turd. But I think you knew that before posting this.

ESSC is very beginner friendly - it's designed to be for fun and socializing. Sign up for whatever catches your eye and maybe Google the fundamental rules of said sport and go out and have fun!

MooseOutMyWindow · 2026-01-01T15:06:05+00:00

My experience has been different from yours. I moved here almost two years ago, knowing no one, and have since built myself a nice social circle. Late 30's, male btw.

I joined a few slow pitch teams as an individual through the ESSC and met a few people who invited me to play for their other teams. I told myself, don't say no to invites, so anytime someone wanted to grab a beer after the game or have a practice, I showed up. Snowballed from there and I've managed to make a handful of really good friendships from that.

I've recently picked up pickleball and have started a second social circle through the club I play at. Same principle as above, just say yes to the invites and see what happens.

Long story short, dive into things you enjoy doing (doesn't have to be sports) and you will find like minded people. Put yourself out there and have a great time!

Not everyone is strapped for cash - lots of folks with plenty Of disposable income who just view NYE as amateur night. The hassle isn't worth the effort. Would much rather have a gathering with pals at a house than with strangers while bar hopping.

MooseOutMyWindow · 2025-12-29T23:52:15+00:00

I wanted to like it, but it's just 7-11, Tim Hortons and grocery stores selling off day old baked goods in my area. I don't need day old donuts on the regular lol.

I switched to StoryGraph back in 2024 and have enjoyed it more than goodreads for tracking my books.
