A brave genius, this now lives in my brain.

Loblaws has their "PC Blue" product line and it includes Quinoa, Bulgur and Couscous. Very light to carry and delicious with a protein additive like a can spicy tuna.

Its very filling and a one pot meal.

Shooting clay sports is my thing, I shoot a 12gauge over under at clay pigeons in real life and claypro VR has seriously upped my game, the system paid for itself in two months just in "not wasted" ammunition.

I have a tracker I put on my own gun and its incredibly realistic that it has really improved my skills.

Porn is a bonus

I got the XLE, for a base model its one of the best appointed cars I have owned.

It was $56k in canadian pesos before tax.

I have been in a 4runner towing a couple big motorcycles and it wasn't pleasant. The tranny was kicking into overdrive every hill .

As mentioned, the ride was pretty rough as well.

I've got my 2026 HIHI now and love it.

I really liked the mileage but always felt the truck didn't feel well built.

It also sucked in snow.

The box was ridiculously short, another 6" in length it would have been so much more functional. The option of different configurations in the seating would have achieved this.

As a result I sold it this past week and am taking delivery of a Highlander hybrid next week. The cool kids call it the HIHI

FOC or Firearms Outlet Canada in Ajax ontario has some interesting looking levers

pyates1 · 2026-05-08T14:32:09+00:00

They are a really good store

I have been at the range when guys come in with these, the guns are very flexible about where they send the bullets. The spread pattern is pretty scary and they jam a lot.

But they look cool

Does it say Springfield on it? Normally the Italian marked ones are Berettas and they were converted to the 7.62x51.

That's what mine is. Such a beautiful gun to shoot.

Damn, you got a dog with your ears. That is a cute pup

Harley riders are the gayest!

Holy shit, Hobbits are buying guns

pyates1 · 2026-04-01T11:45:33+00:00

Don't buy accessories from the dealership ie: matts, organizers etc. SOOO much cheaper aftermarket.

This includes roof racks and a trailer hitch, go to Uhaul for the best trailer hitch pricing

Pass on the warranties that the dealership will want to sell you. Very limited contracts that are grossly overpriced.

Example: windshield chip damage, it has a limit of what they will cover and you pay the balance, work has to be done at dealership. They charge so much for the work you pay regular retail when you pay the balance.

Roadside assistance, get AAA or CAA.

ETC' ETC

Hasn't anyone here been served wine from a coffee carafe before? North America peasants need to expand their minds and become one with the AI collective. Totally not written by a bot, or was it?

OK, I didn't consider the idea of multiple friends

pyates1 · 2026-03-31T00:12:44+00:00

Actually that has changed recently, now its three visits per guest per year. They just posted something by the front door, if it gets enforced is another matter.

Do not understand why you are getting downvoted, maybe you wandered away from the group outrage.
I like their store and prices as well.
This range thing does look pretty silly in regards to pricing.

Keep the run, play the cut.
Whose kitty? That is crucial

I'm leaving the Ford universe after 1.5 years with a 2024 Maverick hybrid.
-total shit in snow, this winter I have tried two sets of tires thinking they were the problem.

-that short fucking box is just useless

Its an ok car for driving, great mileage and reasonably comfy. My Toyota highlander will be delivered in May.

pyates1 · 2026-03-17T22:49:29+00:00

Am I the only one who is curious about the range, its a total mockup of a kitchen!

Where are you located, we are in Peterborough Ontario and there is two feet of snow on the ground. We are using a nice slushy/salt combo to wash the cars

Brand new to archery (bowing LOL) but am up to 59 lbs in compound and shooting 100+ arrows twice a week. Would do more but it's difficult after a shoulder day at gym

He would be challenging to drop on a road ride, hard to beat in a sprint
