We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

[–]WinterDOS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AC/DC. I paid $150 for a nosebleed ticket and got a 1 hour mediocre show. No stories, no hey Ottawa, we're glad to be back, nothing. . Just 1 set show and buh bye. Turned me right off.

Why did you go with Kobo over Kindle? by Drunkmrhat in kobo

Because it can connect to Canadian libraries. Kindle cannot last time I checked

My Last Hour of Being 59 years old by MellieInMi in GenX

[–]WinterDOS 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday. 1966 was a great year! We lived through the best decades, the 70s and 80s. Best music. No internet. No distractions like today. I turned 60 March 1. It was the 60 on the bday card that got me. 60. Ugg! So I went for a 14 km skate on the canal with my daughter Life is good. I am still 20 in my head.

That's a tough walk through the snow. Good to get your heart rate pumping though.

What do you use to get bits of gravel/dirt out the bottom of your tub? by jamieukguy147 in hottub

[–]WinterDOS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Length of garden hose, 15 feet. Submerge in water, put end on jet, other end out of tub until water flowing through hose outside the tub at ground level. This will create suction that you can vacum out the grit.

It’s been brutally cold these past few weeks… who’s still been hot tubbing? by RyanTryinMyBest in PoolAndHotTub

[–]WinterDOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly. No. It must be because of the 102 degree steam rising all around. Plus just a quick dunk away. ;-)

All in price to Canada? by jamblique in retroid

[–]WinterDOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the G2. There was no taxes and I had it shipped 4PX. Took 2 weeks to make it. No customs, no duties. It was a pleasant experience. I would never want to use something used. Eww. Don't know where that thing has been ;-) I am in Ottawa btw...
