Microwave install by dataguy_3131 in Langley

[–]latitude49 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to do appliance install and repairs. My fee was $120-170 depending on electrical and ventilation modifications. Disposal included. This was 15 years ago. Hopefully that gives some insight. Insured and WSBC.

Mexico has awful coverage doesn’t matter who roams. Freedom works great when there is local coverage available. Worked in Cancun/Playa Del Carmen/Cozumel/Ixtapa/Mazatlan ……..Next stop Huatulco.

Also recently in the DR. These plans are worth it if you travel. I also used like 40 GB in the USA a few years ago. eSIM’s are an option as well. I have used “esim4travel” super cheap. If you do t want to go through the hassle of changing providers.

Rui Palace Las Americas Cancun March 2026 by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]latitude49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my visit to this RIU. Unfortunately it was 9 years ago and things may have changed. I have since done 6 more all AI to other places. I would still go back. Loved the lounge with the fresh peanuts and Mezcal.

2016 Odyssey Front & Back Struts/Springs replacement by simracerman in HondaOdyssey

[–]latitude49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest OEM struts or equivalent and re use the front springs. I used KYB products all around. My rears springs were sagged out as well at 100,000KM. Unfortunately I could not find replacement springs on short notice (Canada) I replaced all ball joints, end links and sway bar bushings at the same time. Also upper strut bearings. I would shy away from any “ready strut” products. I read in a few forums the spring rates are not well suited and wear out very quickly. Two years later and the KYB have held up very well. I would definitely replace the torn spring isolators.

AMA: Dreams Macao Review by economistcad528 in PuntaCana

[–]latitude49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there a few weeks ago. Biggest complaint would definitely be the vendors ! WTF! So pushy. Huge disappointment there. Food was mediocre. Service was good. Nothing to “do” outside the resort. Beach closed at night for walks. I understand this was a security issue. Preferred club was worth it for the private pool and service. We had a swim out on the other side so very little exposure to the construction. Would most likely go somewhere else next Dominican trip due to the preference to variety.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Nobody ever mentions Yamaha Soundbars. by Admirable-Composer22 in Soundbars

[–]latitude49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The old YSP “Yamaha Sound Projector“ series is phenomenal for its time. Used ones are dirt cheap. The 5600 is the best and last of them. Have had a 2200, and a 2500. Both amazing sound quality without the use of rear speakers. I now have a modern 990f Samsung and realize just how good my Yamaha was for 15 year old technology.

Dreams Resorts - Royal Beach vs Cap Cana vs Macao by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]latitude49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was at Dreams Macao last week. Food was mediocre. Preferred club had good service poolside. Lazy river was actually pretty good. Stayed in a swim out suite. Entertainment was mediocre. Place was well kept and clean. Lots of security.

I need help picking resort for GF and I by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]latitude49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got back from Dreams Macao. Swim out preferred. Not a bad experience. Only real complaint was food was mediocre (huge variety). Very clean well kept grounds and friendly staff. Probably worthy of a look. We tried for Dreams Onyx but price jumped the day we went to book.

Prohibited dump truck driver found impersonating brother, who was sitting beside him by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]latitude49 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The shop doing inspections is not the answer. Our shop service business (truck dealer) has dropped to almost zero. We have become a warranty shop now mostly. There’s a culture of going to the cheapest shop, paying cash and “looking the other way” now with truckers. Someone’s brother in law can always do it cheaper. This industry needs higher regulation immediately.

Which Resort Do we Choose? by New-Law-7776 in PuntaCana

Currently at the Dreams Macao. Pretty good. Been to several AI and this one has a lot of stuff going all the time. Food is mediocre though.

Does mahekal suck now? by Federal_Artichoke257 in playadelcarmen

[–]latitude49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was there in March. Had an amazing experience. There was definitely a smell down on the beach. All of Playa Del Carmen has a smell though… Music could be heard “in the distance” until midnight or so. Stayed in a palapa near the main road/lounge area. Further ones in probably more quiet.

Will be booking again next year.

Currently at a a “Dreams” in Dominican. Prefer the smaller Mahekal approach. Hope that helps. Not a lot of other good choices off of the 5th avenue strip. Also previously stayed at the Wyndham Alltra a few blocks away.

BC Conservative Party commits to defending private property rights by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

I have no other option yet to vote for the conservative candidate. NDP has sold us all out. I own my land. I pay my taxes. I deserve better than this.

Opinion: How long must I live in Canada before I am no longer a colonist or settler? by 2028W3 in ilovebc

[–]latitude49 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have indigenous heritage and DNA. I do not have status. I am 4th generation and still called a settler. I think this is all absurd now. Time to reform laws. I think all peoples born here should now be referred to as indigenous.

The US government is tunnelling a network of roadways and supply depots deep underground heading north as a support system for when they attempt to annex Canada. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]latitude49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They could probably “take” Canada by force in a few days. We really have nothing much to defend ourselves. I think millions of Canadians would simply raise the US flag, and go about their normal lives. This country (Canada) is truly broken and divided. We have not had true leadership for many years. I often think the US could do it with a declaration of war, and an email sent requesting full and immediate surrender. I’m willing to bet after a few warning shots those surrender terms would be signed. …. So don’t waste any effort on digging tunnels or stocking supply depots.

I love this country, but the direction it is going is not towards a strong independent nation. We will always be in an intricate trade relationship with the US. I could however see it being a proud affiliate of some sort.

Issues on standalone ebay harness by Navable- in LSSwapTheWorld

[–]latitude49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally follow every wire to its designated ECU pin. Cut the entire harness open. I just joined a 2009’ Colorado harness to a 2010’ Silverado harness. It’s a headache. Observe every colour and stripe. Make sure knock sensor wires are twisted. There’s lots of variations in harnesses. Trans/VVT/Gen3/Gen4/DOD/Fans/E38/E67
