  1. The worst thing about the Hastings railbed is that the clubs should be brushing back the stop signs & replacing the ones that are faded to pink. I almost blew a stop sign south of Bancrotch. I thought the stop ahead sign must've been knocked down. I my return trip I took note of the road crossing & watched for the Stop Ahead sign. It was in place, but obscured by an evergreen limb. I tried to break some of the smaller branches of to make it more visible. I was probably doing about 50...mph when I almost blew the sign. I've been up & down the railbed so many time on the sled & in the Ranger (albeit slower) I may have been a bit complacent. At another road crossing heading towards Ormsby Jct, I spotted another S/A sign that was barely visible. I was able to break the limb off that was blocking the sign. I don't do as much night riding as I used to, so maybe you guys will know. When the Stop signs start fading to pink, do they lose their reflective qualities?
  2. If they ever plan on making a JT doll, I'm pretty sure they could use the mould for "Ken's" abdomen. I saw the skit when it originally aired LOL: http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/eddie-murphy-uses-a-ken-doll-in-a-comedy-bit-for-saturday-night-live-picture-id526982208 You can pretty much imagine it "went".
  3. I remember in Grade 12, they had "co-op lite". You went to a business in the trade you were interested in for a week. Bro' was taking machine shop, so he went to a tool & die shop. JT wouldn't be qualified for that unless the Buddies in Bad Times theatre was looking for a stage hand.
  4. LMAO! "We'll be able to increase the process efficiencies from the heart out". I was never the subject of any beratings during my work years, but witnessed one via open channel on our old radio network. Plus I was told of a couple over the years. Tooling department was struggling w/ a fixture that would eliminate an operator on a 2 man operation. I guess some white shirt who was involved (probably some production bag licker that had no mechanical aptitude) showed up in the toolroom to see what the hold up was. After the issue was demonstrated he said (quoted from 1 of the tradesmen involved), "They can send a man to the moon, but you guys can't even bend fucking cardboard!" The Shiny Pony (and I imagine Morneau as well) would be looking for a "safe place". The more I hear the Finance Minister speak, the more I feel he's in over his head as well.
  5. Can you imagine if any of us answered like JT if there was an "issue" w/ "our" project or work area?
  6. Not sure if there would've been charges laid (sloppy local newspaper coverage), but maybe odot can chime in.
  7. It's like everyday is casual Fri' for him. The whole Cabinet had to fly out to Calgary (so much for reducing Canada's footprint) for a retreat. Don Martin commented on CTV that this wasn't a Cabinet retreat but a crisis management meeting. Trump was elected in Nov' & they're just formulating a plan to deal w/ him after he takes the office? FFS!
  8. That's a scary visual The Donald: "OK Frenchy, how much for Alberta? Shiny Pony (thinking? to himself): "Well if we got rid of Alberta, that would lessen Canada's carbon footprint and GHG emissions." The Donald: "C'mon Pansy, what is it?" Shiny Pony: "It's a deal!"
  9. The most recent "immigrant" in my family was my paternal grandmother who came from Birmingham as a child just before WWI. On the other side of my father's family, they came from Germany in the 1800s. My mother's family were descendants of the United Empire Loyalists. The only thing I can think of the "immigrant experience" is asking my parents why Grandma butchered English "Why does Grandma say 'sawer' when she should be saying 'saw'?" On the other hand I wonder if Justine will change his tune about the tar sands when he travels to Alberta? I'm not sure if it was him a few years ago, but it was a Liberal, but there was controversy when the politico said something in French in Quebec, then while in Alberta said something contradictory in English. I'm thinking it was about gun control or the gun registry.
  10. Tim Allen (the only reason to watch) had a great line on Last man Standing Fri' night: "Throwing money at a problem? We're Democrats".
  11. http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/final-day-of-production-arrives-at-midland-s-general-mills-plant-1.3250175 Another 100 jobs flushed down the toilet.
  12. I saw the Shiny Pony talking about something the last couple of days & he comes across as a rank amateur. I don't think @ any time in the history between Canada & the US have we been so ill-equipped. If he gets an invite to the White House (which I highly doubt will happen) I'm pretty sure Justin and Barron will be at the kids table. Wait Barron will be sitting w/ the grown ups & JT will be joined w/ the grandchildren. The granddaughter looking after DJT's pens after the inauguration looked more worldly than Trudeau. But hey, the pot will be legal!
  13. I wonder how long it'll take the FN to figure out that the Shiny Pony doesn't give a fuck about them either? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/suicides-prompt-emergency-response-1.3930683 https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/01/19/wapekeka-first-nation-feared-suicide-pact-says-they-were-denied-help.html
  14. Post #720 should be on the front page of the papers, every day until the next election.
  15. What a fucking insulting moron! http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/pm-defends-french-response-to-anglo-quebecer-1.3245830 Acting no different than the Quebecois that won't speak Anglais to tourists. Anyone for starting a GoFundMe page to pay for an MRI on his head? I watched a segment w/ him speaking. His head sounded hollow similar to if a person stood @ centre ice in an empty Maple Leaf Gardens while talking.
  16. Pretty much follows the Chretien Liberals before him.
  17. The low info turds that voted for him & have probably never worked in the private sector. They haven't got a clue. Then the talking heads on TV last weekend don't think it's a big hit for their chosen boy because the saps @ the meetings aren't asking him about it.
  18. I think the Shiny Pony is following the guideline that my father talked about years ago. "You couldn't accept a gift if you couldn't eat, drink or fuck it in 24 hours".
  19. In Libtardland, their math would have you ahead @ the end of the day. Don't forget, "It's for the children!"
  20. Why does he think that the sleeves up & tie off make him 1 of the people? Most blue collar workers (skilled & non-skilled) have no use for whiteshirts. Imagine changing a wheel set out from under a boxcar in the middle of a July weekend & the boss & 1 of his flunkies (dep't bag licker) pull up in an air conditioned pickup, get out in their office clothes & white hats & ask how it's going. The dick would be lucky not to have a 2" combination wrench thrown @ him. If Harper had acted like this w/ the secrecy & dodging questions they would've been all over him. Half the time I don't think he knows which facial expression to have. He goes from a crooked grin to a sneer.
  21. Cripes when the US president goes to whereever, for vacation, it's front and centre on the news. This dick sneaks off in the night.
