I spent the weekend driving the 1600 km round trip between Québec and Toronto. Onterrible provided endless freezing rain, and many people ended up sliding off the highway. Yesterday morning I watched a Honda civic fail at changing lanes - the lane lines were covered by ridges of slush - and spin out into the ditch on the 401 in eastern Toronto. I had to stop every 150km and break the ice off of my windshield wipers, and I think the wipers I bought less than 6 months ago are toast as a result. The weather was spectacularly bad, in other words. But whatever, this just becomes stories for us to tell to recent immigrants who come to Canada from places where the weather doesn't try to kill you, just other people do that.

Well, it's raining here. Not a trace of snow on the ground and maybeeee we'll miss it. I'm OK with rain, just this snow bullshit has to end. Luckilly, I'm driving to Wainwright and back today, so been nice knowing you.

Drove to Wainwright yesterday and it was pouring 90% of the way. Tpms tripped just outside Castor so put the spare on and got loving soaked/filthy in a weighstation pullout. Got to Wainwright, did my work and had probably some of the worst winter driving conditions I've ever had on the way to St. Albert. On the plus side, saw a green bricklin on the back of a flat deck heading north on the qe2 on my way back today. loving snow up there was insane but at least roads were good today. It was like a line just south of Claresholm, no snow of any amount at all down here in the far south. Definitely some water though.

gently caress that. Biek is awake. Porch is awake after tomorrow (hopefully and if I'm not too hungover). The whitehairs are golfing at our local course like it's August. If it isn't spring I'm  to finish it

So my ram 2500 trans finally gave up. Sold it to a neighbor for $6000 who is going to swap trans and convert it into a service truck for his refrigeration business. Its a real loving shame there is no easy way to get a non emission 5.9L diesel into it because with a diesel and manual trans swap I would've kept it forever. Picked up a new 3.5 ecoboost f150 with 10 speed auto on Friday. Pickups have come a long way since 2011. Its averaging less than half the fuel usage commuting to work and back. 11L/100km in eco mode in stop n go traffic Vs 22L for the ram.

I love the little woosh noises the ecboosts make. What i don't love is the start/stop cranking up the engine. That's the worst sound in the world, especially coming out of a truck that's window level to your car. I went up to Reynolds today. The museum was awesome, but coming in from the south there are so many god drat pawn shops.  It's no loving secret why they exist, and in that quantity. I don't understand why they continue to be allowed to exist. There are nearly as many pawn shops in Wetaskawin as there are in Calgary.

Huh. I bought a bunch of CDs - it was super 90's time! - at a pawn shop in Wetaskiwin back in the summer of 2015. I had no idea that there were so many, though I did notice at least 3. Still, they didn't stand out in the neighbourhood, so I guess Wetaskiwin is just sketchy like that. I wonder if the local RCMP are badly understaffed or the city government keeps a lid on certain types of investigations or something. Next time I slip my Marcy Playground disc into the Ranger's player I'll be pondering this.

It's 10 minutes away from 2 of the most hosed up reservations in Canada. The RCMP detachment is a revolving door. It's loving shameful how little has been done there to help them. Turning a blind eye to the fences for their stolen poo poo isn't going to help their gang problem.

+17 in Grande Prairie in the afternoon. And yeah the whooshy ecoboost noises are cool. I'm torn since the upgrades make so much extra power and torque but at the same time, I have bumper to bumper warranty for 6 years. A catless downpipe, straight through muffler, intake piping and a 91 octane tune net you 430 to 460ish wheel horsepower and well into the 500ft lb area. Interestingly, after that, the turbos are the bottleneck and any more money spent will only flatten the horsepower curve but not increase the peak power. Until you upgrade to the svt raptor turbos.

Any AB:AI goons have 13 ft ceilings in their garages? I have an inside line on a pair of 2 posts hoists from a shop closing down in St. Albert for less than $1000.

I might be interested for the parents acreage. Do those just get installed by hammer drilling into the slab, pounding in a threaded insert and then bolting to floor ?

That's how mine was installed. You need a certain grade of concrete and minimum thickness. If mctinkerson can get the manufacturer name and model number we can probably figure it out.

This one was soft for a while, then a truck full of shingles ripped through and just destroyed the whole stretch. People have been doing stupid poo poo to get around it for a week now, I'm surprised it never claimed an oil pan, because for a while there were huge sharp chunks of road sticking out of it.
