Looking for a decent Rzr and the wife wants a ranger instead. Boring. 

She wants you working not playing. Don't knock the UTVs, 2 weeks ago I finally made it up to Lake St Peter from Ormsby Jct w/ the Ranger.

A storm in June had blocked the trail just south of Maynooth Station. Are there any restaurants in Marmora accessible from the railbed?

Milton has quickly turned into a massive shithole. 

Go to the Flying J in Tilbury. I watched a new Canadian 'professional' truck driver attempt to park his rig. 2 attempts & he couldn't get it between the lines.

Decent tires on it (not Carlisles) you should be OK for a few seasons.

I think Justin was trying to channel Chretien today when speaking. Lots of curling his upper lip trying to answer a question about NAFTA talks. 

I didn't notice if he squinted & grinned (pleased w/ himself) when he finished.

Maybe JT can switch him with the Crying Game & have him finish the trade talks w/ the Americans? Couldn't be any worse than the Window Washer.

Quote

Three days before that, following a federal-provincial meeting where Ontario demanded $200 million from Ottawa to pay for the costs of housing asylum seekers, Gerald Butts, Trudeau’s principal secretary and his most powerful aide tweeted, “Enough is enough. It’s time to stand up to this divisive fear-mongering about asylum seekers. Let’s not allow the alt-right to do here what they’re doing elsewhere.”

So now anyone that disagrees w/ the Liberals on asylum seekers is part of the alt-right? I guess that goes back to the multi-paned meme from a few days ago.

Sounds like when LBJ wasn't impressed w/ Pearson. Pearson called out the Americans (& the Vietnam War) in a speech in the US before meeting the Pres'. Apparently when they did meet LBJ grabbed Pearson by the collar & told him you don't come into someone's house and piss on their rug.

Was Raymond Beadle the car owner of the 27? I guess that would've been just before he went to Hendrick to drive the 25 Folgers car. I could check my old NASCAR press guides but they're out in the shop & it's pissing down rain.

Nothing about the Canucks

Are they trying to burn up all the old Mopar parts from the Cup and Busch series days or they have something else going on there?

I think Dodge/FCA is the only OEM that is interested in the Pintys series. There was some advertising that went on about the Dodge Cup which was open only to Dodge racers.

From the few times I've seen racing the majority of cars were Dodges.

Tell me about it! 😡

How many of the TSN channels had the Pintys race on? I had it on the truck radio as I got shit together for my US Nationals trip.

got to like someone that wants to work

I certainly  understand this man's frustration with no possible way to prove his driving record,

I also don't see it changing current laws.  Doug can do it 

Give him an AZ licence & a job @ Trans X or Charger...

Least you didn't mention Molson Exel. I tried it when it came out & thought apple juice would've tasted better. The Bud Prohibition didn't taste bad.

I paid 126 in Oakville yesterday. I paid $65.00 USD to fill my 120 litre tank a week ago. 

I'm surprised that we haven't been told that we pay higher prices for gas in Canada than the US because our gasoline is of higher quality that the fuel sold in the States.

A couple of items related to the Scarboro playground shooting.

I wonder if Butts & the Crying Game has heard or read of Godwin's Law?

Would it be safe to say that Trump was mocking our fearless leader at his recent rally in WV?

I'm thinking of getting another soft one for the front that'll stick on with velcro and put it on for the railbeds. The 1/2 windshield won't keep much dust out

Try it w/ the 1/2 w/s before you buy the 'soft' 1 for the front. I'll think you'll be surprised. The 1/2 w/s will allow the dust to blow thru. (trust me)

2019 Can Am Maverick Sport 1000R. Adding a few accessories to it. Roof, front 1/2 windshield, soft rear window, cab mirror and a 4500lb winch

Pics or it doesn't exist JK.

Any reason why you went w/ the soft rear window vs a lexan/plexiglass back glass?

I started w/ a similar item on my Ranger but eventually replaced it w/ a Lexan panel that I fabbed.

Either way you'll notice not a lot of dust on yourself if you're running railbeds. The worst is running a full w/s. Creates a lot of vacuum & you wind up looking like a stoker on a steamship.

Drove by the highway yard on 28 by Youngs Point today. I noticed that the Carillion sign (that had been in place recently) has been removed. It will be interesting to see who will be doing the maintenance & plowing going forward.

I guess its ok to shut down (I.e: arrest ) protestors now. Because if that camera wasn't on that cop he would have. Jackbooted Nazi piece of shit.

Wearing the vest the security guy looked like a biker. Maybe going for a Hells Angels/Altamont reenactment?

I've seen Buddy Guy a few times over the years, so all is good.
