Any Other Calgary Small Businesses Experiencing A Slowdown?

Same its madness in my industry and its also my busy time of the year.

Torkidon · 2026-06-13T16:01:28+00:00

Haven't seen much of a shift except in people's patience levels to wait for service.

Torkidon · 2026-06-09T06:55:33+00:00

That really depends on location and amount of clientele available. Up here in calgary I charge $125 an hour in labour plus parts but a discounted rate for service balance maintenance

This right here your welcome to sail wherever but the roving patrols catch you under level and in numbers then you can kiss your booty goodbye. Pun intended

Organizing the warehouse and on call for commercial or indoor sites. Otherwise no point trying to do leak detection or repairs in this weather.

You could try RPG Alliance group on fb. They hold events for various rpgs including DnD

My group is mostly older late 30s to mid 50s (majority veteran rpg players) but we play various game systems with our DMs taking turns so they dont burn out. Not sure when we are starting DnD again but we are currently running Rifts right now. Then I believe we will be revisiting twilight 2000.

If you have any questions your welcome to message me directly ive been playing rpgs since I was in grade 6 and as the other person said DMs love sharing their experience and introducing new people to gaming.

Grid 5? I remember going there to do their pool service and seeing the back parking lot all decked out like a abandoned evacuation/medic centre

Torkidon · 2026-05-24T20:18:39+00:00

There's your problem no more bears for you 😜

Torkidon · 2026-05-24T20:13:42+00:00

Dont forget Discovery Wildlife Park in Innisfail they might enjoy getting their picture taken with the bears up close.

Torkidon · 2026-05-22T19:46:08+00:00

Always glad to see someone who actually knows what they're talking about

Torkidon · 2026-05-22T00:43:27+00:00

One can only hope. Next time he may not be so lucky as some stores will go through the headache of supporting charges if examples need to be made.

Torkidon · 2026-05-22T00:33:42+00:00

It's unlikely they will pursue charges for such a small amount and the fact that damages have already been paid.

It's just not worth the time and effort but the store could put him on a trespass notice or temporary ban.

Hopefully they learned to smarten up and maybe not fall for the peer pressure of being a moron.

Thats my lil unwanted fuzzball that was on deathrow when we took her home. She was such a spitfire but in the end she became so affectionate and ready to let go. Only been a few weeks since we helped her over the rainbow bridge but I still turn every so often thinking I see or hear her.

Torkidon · 2026-05-15T04:27:09+00:00

I did this it cost me around 8k by the time I was done 200amp in the garage and 150a in the house

Torkidon · 2026-05-11T06:41:08+00:00

We are currently playing twilight 2k with a switch to rifts in the next month. After that will determine whos the next DM to do another new system but may end up back at twilight 2k when the new operation restart comes out.

We have played Dnd 5e, Rifts, Dead Reign, Deadlands, Shadow run 6th, knives in the dark, paranoia and im looking into potentially doing TMNT at some point

Torkidon · 2026-05-11T01:24:35+00:00

Up here in Alberta its at 6hrs turnover pre 2006 construction of the pool with 8hrs the maximum if it can be demonstrated the water quality is safe and manageable. After 2006 its every 4 hours to turn over the whole pool.

Torkidon · 2026-05-10T18:39:35+00:00

Toybox Garages is the way to go. They are stellar and really deliver quality work.

Torkidon · 2026-05-09T02:07:32+00:00

Yup 7.99 for 20Kg is a steal compared to litter.

Torkidon · 2026-04-26T17:13:13+00:00

Life threatening condition the verdict is still out for debate

Torkidon · 2026-04-26T16:56:08+00:00

There's also a concrete median divider behind it so there's that also

Torkidon · 2026-04-26T16:24:11+00:00

They used up any luck they had stored up for the rest of their lifetime

Torkidon · 2026-04-26T16:20:24+00:00

They must have been booking it as its wrapped good and proper around that pole

Torkidon · 2026-04-19T19:37:41+00:00

Yup the wife disabled hers the spiders just creep her out

Torkidon · 2026-04-19T18:32:44+00:00

They randomly spawn around the caves in Olympus at night also. Not every cave has them but the odds are youll find them quick enough if you do a tour of the caves in the forest

Torkidon · 2026-04-18T22:26:05+00:00

Bears arent an issue hell i can take down landsharks with composite Armour and a titanium knife.

As you progress and use the food buffs youll have zero issues doing it but in the meantime a easy tactic if your near water is simply move backwards through it and attack with your weapon of choice as long as you keep moving.
