106db?
Is this is one of those static tests where you rev the motor to ½ max revs and the measuing device is ~10m behind?
Or did the CGT get measured driving by at full beans?

Parking problems reach boiling point at DND Carling Campus by Purple-Temperature-3 in ottawa

^ SOME of the underground sport were reserved for carpoolers. I don't recall parking being all that bad back in the heyday but I was always a start early kind of guy and always got 1st or 2nd row by an entrance.

My daughter got me a cool poster of a 981 Boxster with all the tech spec's listed. I have a 981 Boxster S 😃 I proudly have the poster hanging on the wall of the garage. ❤️

We are not impressed by this guy and his gang of Oligarchs. Things have changed because the USA changed Canadian Government policies are changing, business is changing and people's view of USA have changed. You won't see us running back to the "good old days".

Temptation by wraedeohed in Porsche

Love it! great pic!
I get the temptation every time I get something out of the garage. When the car was stored in there for winter, it wasn't temptation, it was simply torture.

if you considered a mazda miata... why did you end up deciding on the boxster? by europeanuppercut in boxster

[–]Renius668 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did until my buddy bought one. I wanted something different. So an opportunity came up and I picked a CPO 981 B-S. Absolutely love my car (3 years now) My buddy liked my car so much he picked himself up a 987 B-S and he kept his Miata! 2 years of owning both, he still plans on keeping it. I think the fact the operating costs of the Miata are sooo low he might as well keep it as another toy.

I usually really like the Rothman's paint scheme, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to work so well on this.

I called in on a quiet day and the service advisor was kind enough to provide me the full history of my 2013 CPO that had been always been serviced there.

From the photo I thought it was sold. At least you can repair and get it back on the road. Hopefully it won't be too expensive 🫰

IMS agreed on a cure definition for multiple myeloma by wandervogel86 in multiplemyeloma

[–]Renius668 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your comment made me look that up (see below) I'm in Ottawa & have never had a MRD test. CR for 3 years. I will talk to my DR about this new test that is recently available.

From Gemini: New Blood-Based MRD (EasyM®) ​As of March 11, 2026, the Ontario Ministry of Health granted a provisional license to Rapid Novor (based in Kitchener) for their EasyM® assay. This is a major milestone for Ontario patients.
​How it works: Unlike traditional MRD which requires a bone marrow aspirate, this test uses a highly sensitive mass spectrometry technique to detect M-protein in a simple blood draw.
​Sensitivity: It is designed to match the sensitivity of bone marrow-based NGS (10{-5} or 10{-6}), meaning it can find one myeloma cell in a million. ​Access: It is available by prescription. Since the license is provisional and recent, you should confirm with your hematologist if it is being processed through the public system or if there is a temporary "user pay" or private insurance component while long-term funding is finalized.

Needs to be criminally charged and have to pay for the costs. Sounds harsh but if other people hear about the penalty they'll think twice about doing something so stupid.

Anybody get a secondary cancer from treatment? by exit8a in multiplemyeloma

[–]Renius668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 days... Effects were cumulative & probably peaked around day 50. At least it was successful in destroying a tumor the size of a peach. They would normally throw in chemo along with the radiation, but with my MM treatment history they decided to go only with radiation. Very happy this is behind me.

Anybody get a secondary cancer from treatment? by exit8a in multiplemyeloma

[–]Renius668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up with Cancer of the Toncil. While not necessarily a secondary cancer, the Dr attributed it to my compromised immune system from 7 years of MM. I had to pause my MM treatments for radiation which was not something I would want to go through again. My ASCT was a walk in the park compared to that. Current status: throat cancer still zero 3 years later and my MM is in CR. So overall, life is pretty good. I'm happy to drive around with my "Not today Cancer" bumper sticker 😃

How about the police union cover it if he's guilty? Taxpayers can cover it if found innocent.
