Ontario BS Thread

Your kid! I woulda gone with you to that one

 

you guys have me searching for my really old ticket stubs from high school…… I haven't found them yet but in the meantime how about this Yota truck I spotted in my neighbourhood yesterday

 

Some dandy nice 3rd gen 4runner rims on that buggy

 

Yeah I've seen them at the CNE too, when Waters was still in the band I think it was '87. I saw them again after that,
I forget which time it was, but they had the big inflatable pigs on the speaker stacks that they were shaking around...
and one of them fell down, you could see a stage hand still holding onto the thing following it down...
And from where we were sitting you could see the ambulance guys hustling over to where it landed.
Wonder how that poor guy made out after that.

Kiss was the loudest concert I'd ever been to, lol I'm glad I had brought ear plugs for that one... lol everyone coming out of that concert was yelling from being half deaf... I could feel my spleen shaking for that one. Saw some guy climb up the fence so he could stick his head closer to those base speakers... you could see his hair flying all about. There is no way there was not hearing damage from that lol.

 

I went on a jag in a Brooklyn thread here with "Obscure Canadian band" of the day. Been steady for 2 weeks of 1 per day...starting to get thin now...and yes, Teenage Head was one day

 

I was late to the show myself....

 

I was in a black 1984 Cutless Supreme...were we parked beside each other?

 

Noticed my inner cv boots are cracking today recommendations for replacement? I have a lift on the way so figure better to do them sooner than later
high angle silicone or OEM kit and stretch them?
also looking at these https://sdhqoffroad.com/products/sdhq-built-direct-replacement-cv-boot-kits

 

Maybe, mind you it was hard to see through the haze....

Those fog machines at those concerts worked really well... seemed to permeate everywhere.... Could even see a plume of it above the concert...

It was hard to tell who was sitting beside me, let alone in the next vehicle. Darn fog machines...

Lol

 

That's funny because April 20 2019 I saw Teenage Head at a small tavern in downtown Hamilton. I took this picture that night and later that night everything got hazy with all my crazy friends from college.One of my buddies pulled out his stash of 30+ year old t shirts



My friends

 

Access road going through the area. No pinstripes:

 

Thinking of rebooting eh. Never done it personally, but if the axle is in good shape why not.

this page has a good write up and some links to a high angle cb boot. Can also do the “boot slide mod”

thanks hadn't been able to find that page in my searches yet just don't know how long those extended boots will last.
and ya axle is fine and seems like a waste of $ for my uses when I cant reboot it

 

Update from Omkaar at GunGear in Kitchener:


Well that didn't take long
Remember on the last email when talking about the OIC ban and shotguns, I pointed out that it does not matter what the minister says because first off bill blair is a liar and secondly because the RCMP has been know to reinterpret the law as they see fit.

Well it seems that they are both keen to prove me right.

Here is lying bill proclaiming that shotguns are not being banned:


And here is the list of shotguns that the RCMP has arbitrarily changed the FRT for moving said firearms from non-restricted to prohibited:


So good news right, because none of the popular shotguns are on that list, no remington, mossberg, benelli. I mean those are just cheap turkish made shotguns, some of them even look scary.

If you own a gun and haven’t woken up to the reality of what gun owners in Canada are facing, then you are as bad as lying bill except that you are only lying to yourself.
We need to pull together as gun owners and oppose this OIC. If we don't do it now, next time will be too late.

Okay, So what can we do?
There are a couple of actions that we can take to start pushing back on this.

1. By allowing a section of Canadian society to continue to hunt with firearms banned in the OIC, the gov't is creating divisions in our society and discriminating against other Canadians. For that we have legitimate grounds to file a human rights complaint and let them know you are unfairly affected by this. Details on how to do this can found here:
File a Human Rights Complaint

2. Join the CCFR or the CSSA. Both of these organizations are already engaged in the fight and need our support. The CCFR has announced that they are in the process of filing a Charter Challenge, this will cost money and they will need all the help they can get. If you are already a member please consider making a donation towards the lawsuits that they are filing against the govt.

3. Flood your MP and Parliament with letters, emails and phone calls. I keep saying this in every email because it is important that you do this even if your MP is liberal, let them know that you are a law abiding firearm owner and will be out canvassing for their opponent next election. Get your friends and family to do the same. This is stupidly easy to do. Set a goal to call at least one politician every day.

4. Sign these petition and every other petition that you see about rolling back the OIC.
Don't forget to look for the confirmation email and click the link to confirm signing (check your junk/spam folder).
E-2574 Petition Sponsored by MP Michelle Rempel Garner
E-2576 Petition Sponsored by MP Todd Doherty
Get your friends and family to do the same. Yes, I know they ignored the last petition, but this is a legitimate way for us to register our opposition to these unjust changes to the law.

5. Get active on Social Media. Twitter and Facebook maybe cesspools, but the reality is that many look to both of those sites for information, we need to make sure that we are there presenting cohesive information.
We must ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be pleasant, polite and factual. Any information we present must be backed by fact from established sources.
We need to remeber that we are not talking to like minded people, we are talking to two audiences;
i. The anti gun crowd who will use any reason they can find to try to paint us as fringe, right wing, conspiracy theorist, extremists nutjobs. We cannot change their minds becasue they are idiots, ignore them.
ii. The misled people in the middle, these are the people who we need to reach. They only know what they see on tv, they don't know firearms and think that our laws are the same as the US laws. We need to point out where they are wrong or misguided and in a polite friendly manner educate them.

Discussions about anything outside of the generally accepted norm is not recommended.
Some places to start:
Bill Blair Facebook page
Justin Trudeau Facebook page
Liberal Party of Canada Facebook page

Thank you and Stay safe,
Omkaar

 

Don’t have any experience with them. You could always just do a oem boot with the “boot slide” mod.

 

Today Blair said that the bans do not interfere with any law-biding hunters or sport shooters!?!??!?!! WTF!!!! Thie Tyrant obviously has no clue what equipment is used for hunting and sport shooting in the modern age. I love old trucks, but I also like modern equipment that works. They will arbitrarily keep adding to the list until they are all gone. Sad times really.

 

@Norilsk I finally found a use for the pry bar set I bought on sale four years ago

Before:



Some prying and hammering later:



Yes I got under the truck while it was supported by only a hydraulic jack

 

And...we have a new mayor!
