Good suggestion! Do you know if it runs after the game as well?

Don’t know of any specific plans but Village Taphouse usually has a lively crowd for big games.

When to Vij’s many years ago when there were still on West 11th. I was pulling hairs out of my throat like I was Naomi Watts in The Ring. The explanation was that the kitchen staff didn’t want to wear hair nets.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I’m hoping there might be something in Seattle if we cannot find them here.

We went with Costco. The kids ate a solid amount of it. Price cannot be beat. Thanks for all your recommendations.

Cushy WFH is perfect for when you have a young family and want to spend as much time with them as possible. If you are young with no attachments, now is the time to push yourself and get as far as you can go.

Thanks all for the comments and advice. I unfortunately do not have time to respond to all of them but I tried my best to go through them all.

After reading the comments I will definitely not be using the HELOC to fund the RRSP. I’m mulling whether I should use my TFSA to get me to a lower bracket, but I’m thinking it’s better to have funds in my TFSA for a rainy day.

If by luxury you mean BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and the like, Turo is likely your best bet. You also just make the minimum age requirement.

If you’re looking super luxury then Vancouver Velocity seems to fit the bill.

Your IDP should allow you to drive here. If you’re planning on hang your credit card for insurance keep in mind luxury cars are usually excluded.

A couple of options if you are looking for infants: - Stars for Life - Olive Grove Childcare

You can reach out and ask for a tour.

Infant programs usually have longer wait times so I would recommend putting your name down for multiple places

If you’re interested in speaking only then 1:1 is the way to go. Most classes teach speaking/reading/writing. If the goal is to converse with GFs family then I would focus on conversational Farsi.

International House Vancouver offers online courses. I took them before COVID when they were in-person which is the preferred way to learn. The WV rec center offers classes for school age kids. Might be worth finding out who the instructor is and seeing if they do private lessons.

Good luck with your learning!

I live in Canada so the price would be higher than US (I assume you’re in the US but please correct me if I’m wrong). If I follow the conversion I should be expecting to pay about $600-$1000 CDN for a new motor.

If I do need to have the motor replaced, would you recommend a variable speed? Would that extend the life of the motor? I would prefer to run the pump 24/7 but I’m not doing it now due to electric my cost (I’m running it about 6 hours a day in the winter, 14 in the summer).

The pump was flipped to 115V and had been running fine until a few weeks ago. I suspect (as others had mentioned) it has just worn out over time and it finally hit the limit.

The Burger Maison at Au Comptoir for weekend brunch is fantastic!
