Why are you fertilizing grass JFC. Also how is that so green? Mine has been brown and dead for like two months, it's awesome, barely had to mow this year.

I just replaced everything with crush. So next year I can look forward to picking up cigarette butts and other litter instead of mowing, I guess.

I haven't fertilized since July which is when I laid the sod. Its been so god drat bright and warm, its still growing like its September. Growing has definitely slowed, buts its still stupid. Our perennials still haven't mostly died from the few days we've had frost.

Was on my way to Nashville Halloween but Mrs. Slidebite counted 122 kids trick or treating.. which concerns me a bit since our neighborhood is only about 50% built out. Our last place was crazy with something like 250 last year, but this place will probably giving that a run for its money when it's complete.

I heard that the Lethbridge area got hammered by that storm this past week.

I figure people would know here better than anywhere else: Does Alberta have any tax credits for electric or hybrid vehicles? My wife's SUV is 12 years old and I'd like to get her one that doesn't need to rely on gas, but I can't find any tax credits like they have in other provinces or the States.

Not that I am aware of. The NDP government is on a bit of an energy efficiency binge right now for home products, but I don't think they have done anything for vehicles. If oil keep tracking up, that will mean more revenues and vocal demand from plebes as gas prices increase (went up 20c/L here last week) so who knows 6 months from now.

Unfortunately, Alberta does not offer tax credits for vehicles. I wish they did. Currently it's BC, ON and QC. Edit: This won't stop me from buying a Zero Motors FXS in 2018.

That's a fair enough point to not offer it for me. Speaking of the 20 cent jump in gas was there any real rational given behind that one or is it just the usual "we need to switch to winter gas" nonsense taken to the extreme.

Imagine a venn diagram where the two circles are "gently caress you" and "eat poo poo" and also they're completely overlapping. Of course, a bunch of oil tards were like "oh yeah! gas prices goin' up! good for business!"

I've seen drunken snow streaking up on the ski resorts but I don't think I've ever seen it in the industrial area of Nisku (also known as Nisku). Did they find a tailings pond or a waste vegetable oil tank behind the McDonalds?

I went to a wedding in Nisku a couple of years ago. It featured nothing at all remotely resembling cars full of naked people in ditches - and I stayed at the highway-side motel that included the local strip-joint, "Peelerz". A wedding in Nisku is exactly as red-neck and depressing as you think it is.

So I may have done something impulsive yesterday and now I'm looking to make some space at the ranch / on my insurance policy. Is anyone at all interested in taking the Celica off my hands at a reasonable price?

What are you asking for it?

3k sound ok? Switch and I have dumped thousands into this thing over the last two years that we'll never recoup, but it'd be nice to get some of it back.

I have no doubt it would last far longer than a J-body or a kia of the same budget $$ so it would have my vote. I'll let you know. How many K again? I can't remember exactly, been ages since I drove it. I want to say 230ish. I'll check it when I get a chance. I'll post pics of what I bought when I get some better ones, hopefully Monday if the weather holds.

I'd say it probably has at least 240 on it now since we put 2600km on it during the rally, probably closer to ~243. It does need some work (it has the traditional early-90s Toyota head sludge), but it's nothing a young buck can't do.
