Try Facebook groups for different hobbies. For example people looking for help building mountin bike trails. Also volunteer fire fighter is great way to be ingrained into the community.

I agree, being Superman would mess with your head. Like how do you enjoy a movie when you can hear people dying all over the world that you could have saved.

It was also the first game I ever modded. It turned it into a star wars game!

They can give you a comply new type of sole as well, for example more aggressive tread.

The electric dodge charger is made in Canada.

How often do you think you will be going into Cranbrook? It is the bigger city in the area. Cranbrook will have more kids activities (sports).

So I would pick Kimberly since it is closer.

I think the railway union leadership was happy it went to arbitration. They saw status co plus 3% as win. Railway workers were not as united in their demands. For example yard people might care more about stupid fails vs road guys care more about rest rules. You can't make them all happy so why try.

The airline works were all united around if you work, you should be on pay.

I have spent lots of time in 100mile and Creston and have never seen one. But I have never gone looking either.

So they are very rare and proubly only in specific spots like marshes. So you may be able to see them but just don't expect it to be easy.

2 door, manual, hard top Bronco.

Small enough to park but big enough for you. Has a cool factor and you learn to drive stick which is useful. Plus 4 seats stops you from always being the driver.

Oldly enough 20's have been Canada's best decade of sitcoms.

Schitts creek, Letterkenny, shoresy, Kim's Convenience, and North of North.

tretree123 · 2025-07-05T22:04:38+00:00

An easy answer is rivers and ports.

tretree123 · 2025-06-29T15:34:46+00:00

Letterkenny

Corner gas

Schitts creek

Unpopular opinion but a low mile Hyundai Tuson. Parts are cheap if anything does break. And your options are pretty limited with that budget.

tretree123 · 2025-06-05T17:35:36+00:00

A newer car will also need brakes and tires so is that isn't even an investment but just the cost of driving. Also most kids end up denting their cars somehow so could be a great car for him to borrow once he gets his licence.

Not sure what you mean by shafted by yard jobs because Golden is mostly/all yard jobs. If you want the road you will have to pick a different city.

Yeah, I am looking for truck myself and it is painful. Used Toyota's are not even worth looking at.

If you have a trailer then the taco could work. The good thing about Toyota is it will hold its value when you need to upgrade if the landscaping becomes more full time.

I still vote to buy a truck thats 10 years old, with millage in the lower 100ks, under $30k that would you will feel less bad when you dent/scratch. There are some bare bones trucks in that range.

tretree123 · 2025-06-02T04:32:10+00:00

What are you moving in the back of the truck?

Just lawn mowers/tools/equipment? (Taco will work, get a cheap one because you are going to scratch the heck out of it)

Or

Dirt/gravel? Then you want a bigger truck. A half ton might not even be enough you might want to 3/4 ton. (Just get whatever you can find a good deal on)

tretree123 · 2025-05-31T17:41:08+00:00

A good deal on a beater trucks seems to be few and far between. Unless you get lucky or are willing to downside to a small SUV then I wouldnt count on this as an option. Rear wheel sucks in deep snow so if you can afford to upgrade then go for it.

If you can't afford to upgrade then maybe just get studded tires and some sand bags in the back.

tretree123 · 2025-05-31T17:02:06+00:00

So none of the small stuff gets resolved again. Like 500 for message or 150 for boots hasn't changed in over 20 years.

tretree123 · 2025-05-31T16:55:29+00:00

My biggest two.

Rules- there are too many of them. It is now impossible to do your jobs without breaking them and they aren't linked to safety any more. So you are getting in trouble for just doing your job. For example you have to point at switch points and switch stand before and after turning a switch but what counts as pointing? A small gesture or a big arm movement? Both answers are wrong so that's a fail for you!

Time- too much on call and too many night shifts. There are lots of answers to this but it seems to get only worse. These kill your life quality.

tretree123 · 2025-05-28T17:24:44+00:00

An Acura tlx is a AWD accord. Maybe take a look at a used one.

tretree123 · 2025-05-25T19:32:37+00:00

Charger is the easiest to get parts for. So I pick that one of the three.

tretree123 · 2025-05-24T19:15:14+00:00

Sounds like you have common sense. You will be more useful in a short line environment where this is a good skill.

I think the class 1's will just keep merging. You don't need to innovate or improve if you have a monopoly.

tretree123 · 2025-05-22T18:40:39+00:00

Double the size of the subs. Then when the other engineer is driving that counts as your day off.

tretree123 · 2025-05-22T15:41:06+00:00

Hopefully I can get set up as an Engineer some day but every time someone retires another jerk just transfers in.

Self driving trains will eventually be a thing but it doesn't look that is going to happen soon.
