We had a 1969 Nordic 399 (one year older than Bernoff's). I used to walk with a 5 gallon metal pail (empty oil Pail with lid) to the Esso bulk dealer in Leduc by the tracks. I would buy a quart of oil and put that into the can and then have the balance filled with dyed regular fuel. I can't...

Thanks for the precise calculation but I am wondering if the 11% penalty isn't taken into account at the charging station much like fuel purchases are temperature adjusted to 15 degrees C?

According to the brochure all Altimas are all wheel drive now. You cannot compare the performance though and that really is something that I set aside as I seldom need to floor the car I have now and it is just a naturally aspirated 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. Would certainly be fun to have even if...

There are many examples of things each of has wanted, perhaps desperately, that we would have been better off without assuming we got them. Vehicles, in 1978 I put a down payment on an Alfa Romeo that I fell in love with. A few days later I finally realized that it would be a huge financial...

The Nissan is as comparable to the Model 3 as the Model 3 is to a Taycan. Very different vehicles. My Altima is about $35,000 new compared to the $65,000 for the model three and about $120,000 for the Taycan. At some point the cost of the vehicle doesn't matter if one really wants it. I just...

This is very useful for me as a comparison. The vehicle that I drive most is a Nissan Altima with the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. At 120 kms on the highway it consistently uses around 6.5 liters per 100 kms which I think is really good for a comfortable four passenger sedan and is comparable in size...

Selling newspaper subscriptions?

Doesn't seem to be any shortage or mention of reduction in the production line which is in Mexico. It could be a function of BC dealers??? Seems to be plenty in Alberta

Can you provide the name of the mag and issue number in case it is on line now (please and thanks)?

Like you Fernie, we have had every kind of flooring and for the most part have done many of the installations myself with the exception of lino and wall to wall carpet which require a little extra skill and experience to do well. We tend to own our homes a long time and have had our acreage...

Been down in SoCal for the last couple weeks. Lots of Teslas everywhere. Have chatted with a few owners and they all love them. Spoke to a gentlemen in his 70's today. He listed off all of the vehicles he has owned including Cadillac. Mercedes, BMW etc. Said his Model 3 made them all look...

Rolling Stones Wild Horses.

The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on an EV is due to the quickly changing battery technology and that I haven't yet worn out the vehicle it would replace. I suspect a lot of people in that spot. Pricing will also come down somewhat but right now the demand for Tesla is mostly more...

I think you will like NG just fine. Have fun drywalling :)

Somebody water skiing down the street in a speedo Feb 1 2020 in Fernie https://infotel.ca/newsitem/man-in-speedo-caught-on-video-waterskiing-streets-of-fernie/it70013?fbclid=IwAR3qD7ikioYiiCBPd6CX5IDAXYxRwqb3KGPgF60QBZHi_azIcn2nRmnu1l4

I'm with you Skeg - At the end of the day if despite my planning I need to have someone come haul my sorry ass off a mountain or out of some hole I have no problem paying towards that in the form of a levy. I see BC has a funding model which may or may not be adequate depending on who you...

Not really a cover band

I updated my original post to include the news article that inspired me to make this post. I have since found a couple sites that are somewhat useful. https://www.alpinism.com/mountain-rescue I am still curious at this point what people think about whether it is fair and reasonable to expect...

I thought the article interesting not that it affects motorized back country users as we do not ride inside the parks. What I am thinking is that this could be the first step in making people reimburse for search and rescues. What is everybody's thoughts on being responsible for SAR costs...
