    Now...can we get some investors?

    Refining our oil sounds great in concept and theory, and if it was profitable companies would be doing it. However, given the high costs of labour, poor project management abilities, and ridiculously insane amount of regulatory obligations that must be fulfilled, combined with the economics...

    Flourescent lites causing fires?

    I think the LEDs may be the way to go going forward - heard lots of good things about them. I haven't personally had any issues with the CFLs, but my grandparents had one that burnt up a while back. They were skeptical about having to switch from the regular incandescents in the first place, but...

    tipping truck in Edmonton

    I've seen photos of trucks hauling woodchips to a mill unloaded in a similar way to this - drive on a big platform that lifted the whole truck up on a slant and dumped the chips. Wouldn't it be easiest to ship with trucks that have a hydraulic cylinder to dump the box - can unload anywhere...

    Edmonton Pot Holes

    Why is there no accountability for the road's construction? It's hard to nag too much on the workers patching the potholes - total waste of time. It's like putting a band aid on a broken bone - doesn't fix the real problem. Sure, it eases the sudden "jarring" of the hole for a few weeks/months...

    What is your Work Schedule

    Currently do week in, week out. 7/7, or technically 8/6 if you include travel - fly in. Most common shift for my line of work currently - been doing it for almost 5 years now. I've done 4/3, 5/2, 10/4, 21/7, 6/6 - I think it all depends on your situation. Those who are married or have kids, it's...

    Removal of willows and the cost

    Mulching will get rid of the trees, but wouldn't it be pretty tough to farm the land afterwards - unless you plowed it really deep maybe?? There would be a pile of tree mulch left on the ground that will be decomposing for years - or do some mulchers throw the stuff into a truck or something...

    Curious thing.....

    I don't think it should be considered "bashing". People just speaking the truth about situations/experiences for the most part. If some cultures don't enjoy hearing the truth about themselves they should look in the mirror and think about how good it is first before whining and complaining about...

    Capital Gains

    Unfortunately farm land does not qualify as a primary residence - even if there is a yard-site on the land you have to assign a fair value to the house/yard and the land separately. Farmers are allowed up to $750,000 in capital gains exemptions over their lifetime providing that they farm (i.e...

    End of the World

    Ahh I see. That makes sense. And here I thought I only had 29 days to go... Better rebalance my funds for a few extra days!

    End of the World

    I thought it was 12-12-12? Maybe not - I don't pay much attention to these things usually. NY just had their disaster so you should be fine either way.

    End of the World

    Well, less than 30 days to go now I guess. Time to spend everything you have and don't have. Maybe even get one of those underground bunkers that guy in the states was selling on the discovery channel the other day! Haha See you all on S&M on the other side!

    What's everyone doing with their canola? We sold some off the combine and were planning on holding out until after January to see where the prices go for the rest. The price trend looks to be going downwards again though over the last 1-2 months. :rolldice.

    XM radios.

    Never had an issue with reception for either - XM or Sirius. I don't spend much time in the cities around tall buildings though. One thing I did notice recently is that you can get the lifetime membership still for XM, but not Sirius. Just something I seen on the website the other week, but I...

    It's mostly copper, boron, and other micro-nutrients (magnesium and some other stuff I think). We put a bit with the blend on the entire field, but a little extra in certain areas prone to some diseases definitely seems to make a big difference for us.
