    New Import charges on e-bay?

    Yeah that's just duty charges, it's nicer top pay them up front for sure. The times you buy and don't pay duty at all just means you may have been dealing with a smaller private seller and not a business in my experience.

    What phase are you in?

    Well snowboarding has put me in questionable positions and getting buried in a tree well while nobody had a shovel was reason enough to take a course before I go rip the sled in even more dangerous areas. And go figure you hear in the course guys in similar positions snowboarding didn't get so...

    How to not be Douchy when visiting new ride areas!

    After taking a class today #10!!! I honestly think it should be mandatory and if some douche decides to burry me while i'm stuck I hope the precedent gets set and manslaughter charges are a consideration. **** like that is totally avoidable if you know what to look for. Sorry Joey but if i see...

    What phase are you in?

    Not quite ready for a ride here... just made room in the garage to park the truck out of the snow and gave it a tune up, avy training today (great job Lori!). Now to get a beacon, fill my avy bag with survival gear, and hopefully get good news from Dean to pick up the sled with a small bill...

    Anyone from Ontario heading out West this Winter???

    Is there really that much snow? Been so long since I was riding around Sudbury/north bay... Debating taking the sled with me over there and worried 162 is too long for what pow I will find. I do have a few buddy's on shorter m's out that way and they love pole lining (it's not all flat though...

    General Question?

    A mix of both for sure. I had a shop that squeezed me in for a tire this summer on the day I left for a 2500km treck and I will use them again in the future... Not a place I'd normally stop at either so good on em!

    Road conditions?

    I've done it. Not a soul on the road between Thunder Bay and the Sault, snowing the whole way... Didn't take the ford outta 4x4 and damn snow were priceless! Also an eye opener paying 1.50 a litre in some areas

    career choices!

    Moonlighters drive down hourly wages, just sayin. City I moved from had no shortage of auto mechanics moonlighting for $40 an hour that a legit shop had a hard time charging $65 and most customers would bitch we were too expensive yet we had a scan tool and the Moonlighters didn't. That said...

    Road conditions?

    career choices!

    I know people like to bash unions but I had to prove myself for over a year to become a member of mine... They're not all bad and having to prove yourself for that long sure takes away any "entitlement". I definitely feel as though I had to earn my spot and thus respect it that much more...
