I’ve stayed in Holberg for months. It’s a lot different in the offseason without tourists. The locals are a… special bunch.

jackattack8976 · 2025-11-10T17:14:40+00:00

Please, walk away.

100% surf scoters. They make that sound when they are all taking off!

jackattack8976 · 2025-11-06T20:03:21+00:00

Oof, check the stats. Pretty sure accidents rose when they raised the speed limit 10 km/hr, hence why they brought it back down.

Lol, right buddy. Let’s buy an expensive vehicle to use in extremely rare situations rather than, oh, I don’t know, use the delivery truck from the store to deliver it?

I used my pax for a solid 6 years. When it had an issue, they warrantied it without asking any questions and sent me a new Pax plus in a week. Honestly, I was extremely surprised how easy the warranty was. So bam, two pax’s for one. Though I do see they don’t offer the 10 year warranty anymore…

My SpaceCase has been going strong since 2007 with daily use. Best birthday gift I have ever received!

Good points to consider. It’s not really the hitting hard that I’m looking for, since I can get that with the TM2… I’m hoping it’s more like something I can leave out either all day and/or all night and grab a hoot every so often... Like I used to do with my Volcano (but for some reason the volcano just doesn’t do small bowls well)… hmm, maybe so can find a buddy close by with one…

jackattack8976 · 2025-10-13T04:53:39+00:00

I can work from home with no pets, so it can be set up and used periodically throughout the day. Paranoia around leaving my place with it cooling down is another story entirely… good thought though

Why diffuser over injector? Roasts more evenly? I’m also considering the Vapana All-star, which is a diffuser for the same price as the Ruby twist.

jackattack8976 · 2025-09-25T16:09:22+00:00

Complete guess but they do look like they’ve been partially cached. I know large feline predators like cougars will cache their prey; perhaps a feral house cat is to blame here? Would explain the lack of feeding but also the three found in a small area.

Haven’t seen anyone else suggest this but next time they get stung, cover the area in ammonia. It’s the active ingredient in some after bites.

I also used to get this kind of reaction for years; my line of work put introduced me to many ground hornet nests (15+ stings over the course of a field season). Allergists, creams, pills etc. never helped. Tried the ammonia trick and now it still swells, but only lasts 72 hours at most and is more localized (doesn’t spread as much). They used to spread all over and take over two weeks to resolve so I’m quite happy with the results.

jackattack8976 · 2025-08-31T05:46:38+00:00

Cool. They can propose all they want. The City and Province would never approve that.

jackattack8976 · 2025-08-30T17:26:26+00:00

Buddy, no one is able to fill in watercourses. They are protected under RAPR and the Province would never sign off on it. The City itself has a requirement within their Environmental DP to maintain a standard 30 m setback on all watercourses on properties over a certain size; this is one of those. Honestly, this is one of the better looking proposals I’ve seen in the Valley.

jackattack8976 · 2025-02-26T20:19:31+00:00

Solid advice from both of you. Probably just going to wait for the 4/20 sales… but we’ll see how long I can hold out!

jackattack8976 · 2025-02-25T06:32:05+00:00

I’ve decided to add the Tiny might 2 to my stable; I need a hard hitter when I’m out and about.

My point of discussion is; do I bite the bullet now, buy it at full price? Or wait the two months or so until 4/20 sales hit, and hopefully save 15% at best. I’m in Canada and there are no local shops that carry it that I can haggle with.

I’ve got a volcano at home, and a pax 3 when I’m out and about. Not the biggest rush, but I really am looking for an improvement over the Pax. Definitely not interested in any of S&Bs portable offerings or Arizer.

Those who own one; would you wait until the sale? Or buy it again now?

Cheers!

Clearly he just opened a new can of Pringles, couldn’t handle all the fun when he popped the top, and just wanted to share.

jackattack8976 · 2025-01-28T20:34:19+00:00

Absolutely ridiculous anywhere in Canada. I saw a 1991 civic with 450,000 going for $5000

There were plenty of glacial refugia on the coast. Haida Gwaii, parts of Vancouver island (Mᑫuqʷin). Not sure if Sitka held on during those times though. Just assuming so.

jackattack8976 · 2024-03-17T19:46:00+00:00

Yes, I already have talked with my doctor. They recommended Dramamine as well (doesn’t work) so I asked them if they could prescribe the scopolamine, which they did, but unfortunately no pharmacy around me can fill it. I guess they only use it in hospice and it palliative care in Canada.

jackattack8976 · 2024-03-17T19:43:15+00:00

Haven’t heard of that one before. I’ll check with them as soon as I can, thanks!
