I remember Americans coming up here in the 50s and 60s and raving about Canadian gas and how they got so many more miles to the gallon than they did in the 'states. Lol
It might have something to do with a bigger Canadian (Imperial system back then) Gallon.

Good morning, low temp is 13 and going to a high of 14°F. Wind N 6 mph. Sunny.
Got informed yesterday evening that our kitchen sink is out of commission. The P trap broke. That is the project for today. Should be an easy fix, just buy a new trap and install it. I will check on Home Hardwares' website shortly and if they have two I will get them. I only need one, but if I have a spare then it will never break again.

Buppies, feed a cold, starve a fever. Just drink plenty of liquids, preferably water.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
fell asleep too early, up too early
30 degrees going up to mid 40's, cloudy winter day

Mostly, you're right, there is no rush. I had in the back of my mind if I could pull this off, I would rv to Florida
in two weeks, instead of spending all that money on the train. Not to be.

happy birthday RS, did you get a special sheet cake for your birthday?

I can only remember gas being about 28 cents

Buppies, best wishes for your feeling better soon.

Coffee is brewing. 24° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 35° with a mix of rain and snow in morning and cloudy skies in afternoon. Correct lift arm pin has been installed on snowblower. Pin I made to align wheel, spacer and axle flange worked very well taking off and reinstalling wheel and tire assembly. Went out in woods and cut down what was left of a tree that was damaged in last storm. Hauled it to neighbors burn pile. Today is house and shop cleanup.
When this small Sharp-shinned Hawk shows up. All the smaller birds leave my feeders. Squirrels also leave.

Buppies, hope you are feeling better today.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Drew, I have travelled with Vans, Trailers and Motorhomes. Easiest was with motorhome and flat towing a car. Today there are only a few vehicles that can be flat towed. Looking at what is available today for something similar to my 2004 Super C motorhome. They are way up in price. Mine was around $100k. Today something similar is $250k+.

read an interesting article on road rage.
Want to know where it is worst?:

Eugene, Oregon, followed by Atlanta; Orlando, Florida; Pittsburgh; Miami; Birmingham, Alabama; Nashville, Tennessee; Cincinnati; Tampa; and Buffalo.

who has the most guns in cars?
Drivers of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Hyundai brands are the most likely to be armed.

Sports cars and BMWs are most guilty of cutting drivers off, and pickup drivers show a specific finger. Minivans brake-check, Jeeps don't yield to other drivers, Volkswagens speed, and Teslas race or chase.

I wonder what it is about Eugene Oregon that has so many angry drivers?

Ron, it's getting like boating, you mean that little boat costs 500 thousand dollars?....
travel trailers/fifth wheels give the most bang for buck. I've now driven a V10 F53 Ford, like many of us.
Thank goodness they have gone to a bigger V8 now instead.
Pulling the 30 foot Jayco trailer behind my air bag equipped Ram was simply a delight. Gosh that towed nicely and that truck
rode so well, with the load automatically leveled. The little MB was fun to drive, but just not big enough. I need some space....which is why
I'm glad I said no to the baby rv I was looking at.

I sent an email to the sales mgr of local Chevrolet dealer, asked him if I could order a truck with super cruise plus max towing. Online build software doesn't allow that.
They say you can tow now with Supercruise, so waiting for reply. I want to be able to pull about 9k safely. That's the most I'd want to pull behind a F150. Beyond that you need to go up to a heavier truck and they ride poorly.

gosh I wish my brother didn't sell my truck when I was in the hospital. But then he didn't think I was coming back.
