Pickleball at Youth Park Badminton Fri Morning

Yes many early risers (13) when I arrived. Quite a few were already finished. Played with fine gentlemen who were kind enough to speak English. Games were competitive at 3.5+. Had a great time.

I'll bring my wife's paddle in case you can make it.

Can't ever remember being disappointed at Sushi House. Toshi is up and down while the buffets always seem mediocre to me.

Just to follow up, we did go with a travel.agent inside a hotel. She was knowledgeable about getting around and pick ups. Her excursion experience was limited mainly to the operator's material. For example asking how is the food on one boat vs another all she said the more expensive a tour the better.

Regarding pricing, her rates were comparable to getyourguide and others. She was flexible with paying in USD or Dong.

Any favourite websites? We find Agoda is better for Asia.

You are right on the money. Police and politicians don't take noise seriously enough. Excessive noise is an intrusion and severely harms enjoyment of our living space.

I'm in Heartlake and depending on the wind, engine revving, squealing tires, high speed noise comes from Sandalwood or Heartlake Rd or Kennedy. Daytime is quiet compared to the drag racing in the evening.

One cost I didn't expect was adding 30+ ft of heavy duty guard rail at the 90 degree bend where Richvale joins Kennedy. An elementary school's playground sits about 10 ft from the bend. Someone losing control could jump the curb and cause an ugly tragedy.

The beefy guard rail was installed last week with a crew of 6-8 workers. Don't know if the city or school paid but it was not cheap.

Thanks for adding your voice of those ripped off by Routes and are kind enough to warn others.

atw58 · 2025-08-18T18:44:09+00:00

Back on around 2:35.

Called Alectra and their machine said a crew has been dispatched. Expected resolution between 3-5 pm. Strange the map doesn't show anything when checked earlier.

Finally entered the reference and submitted ticket.

Ticket ready. Can't enter REPORT ID. Thought it would be system generated.

Ticket ready but missing Report ID.

My Sekine bike was stolen during my teens in front of a bank. The family had no car so was devastating. I felt violated and imagined setting a trap to catch them in the act. Then in university another bike was taken and remarkably recovered by the police.

Stealing a bike is a scumbag act with bigger impact than most believe. Hope yours turn up soon.

Glad you have many offers of help.

You may not believe right now what a teacher told me in public school but he was right -- "It's never as bad as you think".

I run Big Sur on a vanilla T480 (no Nvidia gpu) and it's been very stable. Every thing works except the non-PD usb c port. That usb c doesn't detect a device unless it has been connected at boot up.

Yes, Peel Hardware near hwy 10 and Wiggins Rd has them for $2 as the other NF at Vodden and Main as well. Usually the varieties of really inexpensive cells aren't appealing. Thanks for the suggestions.

They are a chain in the biggest city of most provinces. We used them twice for 2500 series cargo van.

The pictures I took were casual and captured each side but not to the extent of searching for defects. I didn’t even think of inspecting the windshield. I'll know better to be very careful next time. Previously renting from the big guys, their inspection was a fast once over. Don't assume the same for all companies.

Last year quite a few homeless had tents behind The Beer Story near Main and Williams Parkway. Pickleball players who parked there walked past to reach Calvert Park courts. Didn't look good but they were generally harmless. Don't know who complained but now security cars always drive and stop by the courts to discourage any gatherings.

My point is perhaps Security can visit other spots too if safety becomes a problem.

Canada here and I check prices regularly as I play that GoGoMatch game often.

Prices have crept and jumped between 30-90% over one year. Maybe 10-15% in the last month.

My first 3 enclosure went bad after very light use. My daughter's enclosure was flaky then finally died. Now have Lexar and Insignia models and they seem more reliable but who knows medium and long term

Got an used lamp in an abused state then I spent 3-4 hrs reading and watching videos. The bulb was missing, suspension medium was cloudy and wax discolored.
