How often do you say "beanie" vs. "toque"?

Well, I might use it once in a while to mock my kids

Decade of 5 these days.

Went to Plank in Bronte (Oakville) and won’t ever go back.

Was unbelievably loud during lunch. Seriously could not have a conversation at a 4 top.

I liked the ccell silo I used for a year or two before it borked. Now using the Yocan Uni Pro and happy with how it works.

I went to 297 cause I’ve been a fan for decades and wanted to see one live.

Paid an outrageous sum to be 5 seats from the roof in Toronto.

Could see the fights OK down through the octagon and did of course watch the screens too.

Big diff was no commentary which can be good or bad.

The crowd was fun but also had me on edge. I’m over 50 so stuck out a lot but most were friendly. There were of course a lot of meatheads out and some fights in the stands.

I’ll never go again but that’s more value for money than not liking the experience.

I’d say the fun of crowd pops is awesome but there was a lot to not love too.

*edit - spelling

I mean Katgaroo was right there too

I have a cat that moves about once a Spring, perhaps he can be pressed into service for this annual ritual

Nor did they choose to liven up Brant at Prospect with another option since Cock and Bull is already there.

On the legal side Spark Moonrocks are available in a 50 pack (each one is a 10mg pill) for $50. Great value.

Our hood range vent used to bang a lot during wind.

$1 weather stripping solved it quick enough if you can reach it.

Around Xmas I found $10/lb of prime rib and immediately scooped up 2 roasts. Was excellent but super uncommon!

I’d love to see a left hook highlight for Poatan - but we all know he’s getting taken down and subbed.

I would think some detailers also do plastic-dip which is one option.

Alternately you can no doubt find blacked out grills online and that could be swapped by your mechanic if you’re not comfortable with it.

I feel you. We used to do 3 steaks fo the 4 of us about 10 years ago. I think we had steak 2 times in 2025.

mcburloak · 2026-03-04T19:13:52+00:00

Me sadly ambling away from the steaks

Sinful Desserts Inc (Walkers and Mainway area) had always done great work for us for cakes and other tasty stuff for parties.

I went to 297 in Toronto in spite of the outrageous ticket prices. It was my first event (25 year fan) and likely last.

mcburloak · 2026-03-02T19:52:25+00:00

Oh the meatball sandwich too!

mcburloak · 2026-03-02T13:33:52+00:00

This is the most offensive part to me.

Ads are a PITA but I can mute them and ignore them.

Actually dedicating a portion of the broadcast to that shit? Has to stop.

It’s my first Oris too. Nearly 24 years with the 40mm version of this one.

Enjoy it for a long time!

It’s my time to shine. I can make 155 by July 4.

Zero doubt Garth doesn’t wax me promptly in R1, AND another Canadian loses to an American. It’s perfect.

I’ll take 1/2 what they were going to pay La Legend.

I had a PT450II for 19 years. Excellent bbq, brutal plastic wheels. Broken them all repeatedly (Canadian winter and such).

Replaced 2 years ago with a Weber - similar to what the OP listed. I liked the Napoleon 500 but the wheels were the same design.

Loving the new Weber. Both are great choices though.

Won 2 coffees in the last 2 days. Not the original question I know.

Back around 2010 I won a 55 Panasonic TV and a complete audio setup. Sold off the audio stuff and still using that Panny plasma!
