DJ - some great pics. I would certainly classify the chops as nice artwork. Not sure though that I would want to spend all day riding one though! And I suspect you would be looking for petrol stations very frequently on those. I am insanely and bitterly jealous of your nice weather! We only have abo...

Butchered English

No one ever said English was an easy language to speak.... And this is probably not new to many of you. But worth a repeat laugh if you have already seen it. One of the joys of English being your primary language is that the rest of the world wishes to communicate with you in your own language! 1) A...

Re: A good recipe for a Christmas cake

1 bottle of good whisky. Dave - I must've missed something. Is that whisky for the baker, or does it go in the Christmas cake? If both, don't you need two bottles then? And what is a good whisky? Are we talking Canadian whisky (Crown Royal, Canadian Club, Old Canada?), American (Maker's Mark, Wild ...

DJ - I am with you. I mean I like to have an open mind and all, but this is too much. Too much conspiracy theory. Too much anonymity. Too much "why has this not been more widely known before now". Whoever is responsible for this has way too much time on their hands. Or could never be a mem...

Only In Canada You Say? Part Deux

In Ontario, you can show up at a Ministry of Transport Office, claim you lost your driver's licence, and get a new one - and acceptable identification can be a COSTCO card!!! And then the premier goes in front of the TV cameras and talks about how the Americans shouldn't require Canadians to use a P...

Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and sta...

So for some reason I am letting this thread bug me.

So I went out to the garage on unplugged the charger which has been on since November 18.

I'll let the bike sit for a while and plug back in a week or so.
