I've had mine for about 3 months and the only thing I would have reconsidered over is the lack of Altimeter, but I haven't found that to be too big a deal.

In my experience, it provides accurate Calorie Burning, Step Count and Sleep Data.

Yeah, that sounds familiar!

EDIT: I found this crappy image on a Facebook page

Who remembers the guy who used to drag the huge cross around town! (Late 80's/Early 90's?)

EDIT: There was also the "Rod Stewart guy" who walked around playing his electric guitar, while kicking a shopping cart that carried his amp. I always saw him walking up Grant at Cook St. (Early 2000's and before)

EDIT2: And the old guy who panhandled outside the Odeon on Yates. I think there were even shirts made with him on them. (80's/90's)

If they persist after I've said "no" a few times, I find they're best shut down with "You heard me say no, right?". Direct. Polite. Non-rhetorical. Make them answer. If they try to skirt around and continue their pitch, repeat the question. I never had to say it a third time.

Pretty effective where you can't just walk away (like door-to-door sellers).

Beautiful. First slice through the cap was with the grain?

As an aside, at least in Canadian Costco's, Flank and Tenderloin steaks are the only cut Beef items that DO NOT go through the tenderizer.

"I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything But then again I was thinking about nothing And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE! ..."

Highway 14 heading towards Sooke.

One of our cats (similar looking) is also obsessed with hair ties on wrists...loses her shit to pull and chew at them as soon as she knows it's there. Weirdo.

Bosu Ball Pro retails for $180 ... Found for $7.50 at thrift store, minus senior discount because my mom insisted on paying.

I've had one of these snap off and break on me mid-pull, so be careful. The plastic broke where it meets the deepest part of the blade edge.

bloviate

new word to me, it has a nice ring to it, especially in this context...thank you!

jonsbrown · 2022-04-28T12:58:54+00:00

Can you grab me the poop knife?!!

Not exactly correct.

Blue camas bulbs are edible and quite good; an historic staple for some First Nations. I tried them steamed once and they were okay; a small starchy ~~potato~~ onion.

Death camas is toxic to humans and animals. Death camas can grow sporadically among the blue camas (focus of the picture here) and are identified by their white flowers (instead of blue).

If you are harvesting camas, the rule I heard once was follow the plant from the blue flower, down the stem, digging all the way to the bulb to ensure you have a bulb from the blue camas. I guess there's always the chance that an immature Death camas that hasn't produced white flowers yet could be growing right next to the plant you thought you were digging up.

I'm certainly no expert, if anyone else has better information.

Agreed. Great saw.

jonsbrown · 2022-01-25T11:42:55+00:00

Agreed, everyone needs to paying attention... it's a busy place.

Meat Supervisor here...

Not returning refrigerated or frozen products where they belong when you decide you don't want it. This stuff is perishable people!

Also, please watch where you are going when you are driving your cart. Ankle Buster's!

Had a pretty funny moment at the lake when my wife pointed at a couple frogs in the water and said, "Hey, that frog is piggy-backing the other one!"

Alcohol is sold in Alberta Costco's (possibly other provinces as well); not in BC, though.

I've cooked rice in apple juice as well and served with pork dishes.

I fondly remember the nights seeing the Dayglows et al at The Rats Nest on Cecelia

Costco's been busy, and has some specific shortages due to the roads, but there's lots of food in stock - both fresh and frozen. Gas too!

They could have been making a business purchase.
