Ontario BS Thread

Awesome Peter!

 

Thanks! May be able to drive it this week if I can find a store to buy diff fluid. Lol

 

This CT has 12 bottles of Castrol 75W90 in stock: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/store-details/on/brampton-mclaughlin-road-on.store.html Good option if you can forget about Deepwater Horizon

 

Anyone else feeling completely bummed out lately cause of this quarantine shit? I have 0 motivation to do anything, but also want to be anywhere but sitting on a couch. Would love to just hit the road and fuck off somewhere. Getting some very serious thoughts about cutting my apartment lease, getting a slide in camper and just going full nomad.

 

your in Thunder Bay? and you feel like that. I'm in Toronto and would like to be in Thunder Bay....
But I hear you man.. Just hang in there it not going to last forever. The nomad thing.. yea but not at this time your not set up and to be setting up in this covid19 environment might be hard....store closing.. social distancing... provisions... ect. ect. And when you get to the middle of no where in your small camper then what.... just another kind of stir crazy....

Hang in there dude we all want to do what your wanting to do.

 

Yeah but I’m not in the nice Thunder Bay everyone thinks of. I’m in a cramped apartment in the middle of the city. Would love to just set up by a lake somewhere, throw a line in, stretch my legs out and read a few books in the sunshine. Just frustrated that’s all.

I appreciate the words though! I’m sure things aren’t much better down in Toronto.

 

No there not. I'm taking the time to get my truck ready for when this all breaks....

 

Come up here when shit hits the fan, we’ll start our own colony

 

Same man
Had to cancel a snowmobile trip to haliburton forest because of the rona
Now its going to be a while till mx tracks open
Other than that i havent really been affected at all other than being scared to touch anything outside.
I’ve been doing a bunch of training for work so its kept me occupied

 

Think I need 80w-90 for the fj case (have to double check). For my diffs with the arb I need 80w-90.

 

75W90 should be better than 80W90 (better flow when cold, same viscosity range when hot). 80W90 is actually more available - CT Milton shows qty (11) 5-L jugs available: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-extreme-pressure-gear-oil-5-l-0280245p.html#srp

 

Has to do with the oil getting up into the airlines or something ARB recommends the 80w90. But hurray! Can fill my tcase so I can actually see if it leaks. If it leaks I may scream....would have to drop the case and split it open and re seal....

 

But it's better than too much sealant, falling off inside the case and clogging up the oil pickup...

 

Ironically the case did have some sealant on the screen before the oil pickup. I’m assuming it’s from factory. I inspected what I could to ensure there wasn’t any overflow on the inside. I put the bead of gasket maker pretty close to the outside edge to avoid it. See how it goes.

 

in stock come bye

 

Hurray!

 

Lots to do even in a city....

Call up the local Party rental place and rent a Stormtrooper outfit and go grocery shopping... take a stroll downtown.

Tape plastic bags to the tails of local cats... one cat runnin around freaked out with a bag on it's tail is funny, if you get 5 or 6 you won't be able to stop laughing for a week.

Move the TV out of the way and play handball in your apartment.

Walk around downtown with a sandwich board sign that says "Free Shrugs"

Setup a kiddie pool on the front lawn and sit in it with a mask and fins drinking beer waving at the people that drive and walk by.

Build a Koi pond in your dining room...


Lots to do even without owning a truck!

 

is this not just a normal day in Hamilton before the quarantine?

we got people riding the bus because they have nothing better to do

we got people stealing Amazon packages off porches

we got people beating the shit out of other people (who are coughing on people's cars as a joke)

we got people pointing and yelling there are a 1000 people in the sky as if it's the rapture

we got people screaming at pigeons

we got people trying to fight geese still...


Us Hamiltonians are apparently very out-doorsy people. but that could be bias due to the number of homeless we have on the streets...

 

Got my dosage of Corona from California

 

Can't.wait to see.what it is.
