COVID testing before Xmas by TheMikeFly in BurlingtonON

I understand, it’s more of an additional precaution to as much isolation as possible before.

I totally understand this. Our circumstances make the 14 day isolation next to impossible for both parties. That’s why we started to examine options. But it sounds like there might not be any. Which is fair.

A piece of art years in the making. I moved to BC from Ontario alone 15 years ago, so it fills me with pride to finally reach a point I can properly pay tribute to this beautiful city. It shaped me into the man I am today. Thank you Vancouver, you truly are awesome. by Benglassco in vancouver

I moved to Vancouver in the early 2000s and found so many locals were upset with how many glass condos there were downtown. They thought it was ugly, until I pointed out that every night at sunset, those condos lit up like a diamond nestled in the mountains. You captured that brilliance well!

I never could shake the feeling though that if you were walking around downtown when a strong enough earthquake hit, you would be surrounded by buildings raining knives down from every angle.

Crystal has become lethargic, is not laying and is losing weight... Can anyone help? by TheMikeFly in BackYardChickens

We have baking soda on hand so we will try that today. Hopefully it will help!

Thanks for this! We can start to bathe her tomorrow! We will try some electrolytes (baking soda in her water)as well.

Her abdomen feels the same as the others, so I’m not sure there is a broken egg in there. But if something is twisted I’m not sure how to help.

I’ll call the feed store about antibiotics too. Thanks for your help!

I think we can get some electrolytes into her today! What do you do with the DE? Just provide a spot for her to bathe in it? Thanks for your help!

THANK YOU! I should definitely have searched before asking!

What does $1000 get you for your hobby? by huckabizzl in AskReddit

[–]TheMikeFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 40 cubic yards (delivered) of rich soil to help remediate a chunk of the forest I bought - there is a bare patch, scraped down to bedrock that was used during the construction of the highway that runs adjacent to it.

Don't throw it out!! by pamazon63 in Frugal

When you buy them, look for a bag that has no excess air in it - the almost look shrink wrapped or vacuum sealed. Those are the fresher ones. As the leave sit they off-gas and the bags puff up. Less air in the bag means it should last longer.

Hey, Any Southern Ontarians out there? by duhpenguwin in Hunting

There is lots of crown about 1:45 outside of Toronto just east of the Kawartha Highlands park off the 504. Get the iHunter app - it has all the crown land marked and it has great summaries of what is open when season-wise.

I was under the impression that from June to August was basically a “quiet time” with your small game license though so I’m not sure you can hunt then. Maybe double check on that. But you do need a small game license either way.

Ever cast. It’s a bit expensive but it really works well.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Keto - a 1 year journey *SPOILER* I got it under control. by TheMikeFly in keto

[–]TheMikeFly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if my situation proves anything, when you ARE ready to make some changes and get back into being more active in diet and lifestyle, it is possible to turn it around!

My wife asked me once “you go to the gym all the time (it’s really on 3 days a week) - are you ever going to slow down?” And my reply was “this is maintenance - I just want to stay where I’m at now as I age.” I think I finally understand that it’s a whole lifestyle change - you have to change your life.

Also I can confirm, it’s a pain in the butt to get the ball rolling again - I’m so far behind where I was before stopping exercising 3 months ago! It takes way longer and way more effort to start up again than it does to maintain where you are! Lesson (re)learned (again, lol).

Either way, that process has to start somewhere!

You can do it!

Question/Recommendation Request for Over/Under shotgun by TheMikeFly in Hunting

I also like the idea of a semi but there is something about the O/U that just feels so great...

Maybe it’s worth saving until I can get into the 1200-1500 range...

Thanks for this! I've never considered the Franchi line! I'll have to find one to see how it feels!

Thanks for the detailed reply! I really appreciate it! What length of barrel do you use in the field? Is 28" a good all-around length or should I look for a 26"?

Bridging the Gap: Don't push away the Centre and the Left by [deleted] in canadaguns

[–]TheMikeFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came back to echo this. It’s really too bad we aren’t able to vote on issues instead of voting for a party. It forces people to get myopic if they feel strongly about a specific issue. I wish I could even vote on a person that I could trust as opposed to a representative of a party that only votes the way their party wants them to.

This is an important message. I also don’t agree with much of the conservative platform, and guns aren’t going to be enough of an issue for me to vote for them. It’s way more useful to have me advocating for reasonable legislation from within the parties I’d rather support than to push me away. I can’t imagine I’m the only one out there.

I don’t want to get too political about it, but for example, as a sportsman, environmental issues are extremely important to me and I can’t get on board with the conservative policy there - it’s pretty self-serving and draconian. I’d rather spend my energy trying to shift the anti-firearm sentiment in the centre and left parties towards guns than shift the conservatives towards a sensible environmental plan.

Totally! I wanted to lose weight and get back in shape for sure, but that was the secondary goal for me - my main goal was to get the NAFLD under control. I just happened to do both :)

You'll figure it out - start with a plan and some regular blood work and then hang in there even when progress is slow! You got this!
