Phew.....Yes, my mistake for not clarifying. Serpentine belt, NOT timing.
In my experience, on Subaru's have timing belts that fail at 75k.Fuck that car.

but but but, what if you run into mounties?Trail Creek border crossing. Pair of bolt cutters, full tank of gas, and I'm IN.
still better than golfing.
I think they'll be understanding... they're Canadian, after all.
Ehhhh it's close. At least golfing is outside.
Guy I work with build a shed specifically for one of those indoor golf simulators. Winning?!
my brother in law used to have an indoor putting green. when they moved i helped dismantle it, and used the lumber to build my bouldering wall
today's one of those days i just want to drink coffee all day
It had to be fixed.
and what was wrong with yesterday's approach?
i'm working today?
I gather no WFH? So you have pants?
Do people still put bash guards on their bikes? My old bike had an E*Thirteen guard that saved my front ring a lot of abuse. I am noticing since my new bike does not have one, the ring is taking a lot of shots, particularly going over logs since I tend to try to go over them no matter how big they are.
nope, been WFH since march, will be WFH for foreseeable future. just trying to not be an alcoholic
i do.
Morning Monkeys.
Slow day today but it's Monday none the less.

Good to know. Hers is still intact, with about 90K on the clock, so unless someone replaced it before we bought it the original is still holding together. Going to have to keep a serpentine belt on hand for when that day comes.

Redtop and move along.
@Jozz now i really wanna make french fries.
It's funny you've mentioned poutine this morning. Was reading an article about some cheese producers that are close to bankruptcy because restaurants are closed and poutine sale are way down.
Holy fuck is it ever monday.
I've been on a conference call dealing with a HUGE network issue at one of our buildings since 7:30am. I think we just resolved it, for the most part. What shit show - not really the initial problem, but the circle of poo that started to be flung around by dhcp afterwords.
Still sitting at my kitchen table with the first coffee. I should probably not even bother driving to work at this point.

the same is happening to potato farms in belgium. frites are hugely popular there.
Sez flat boards boi...You guys need to quit arguing about which of your shitty "hobbies" is shittier.
DAMMIT!
plank sliding > golfing
You need to learn moderation, young Padawan... coffee 'til noon, beer the rest of the day.

Do you have any recommendations for where would be a good spot to get a cottage in the Laurentians? Me and my kids like to mountainbike and ski, and my wife like lakes. We are not wealthy.
Backstory, we've been talking about getting a cottage for a while. Then Covid hit and everyone bought places in the Laurentians, and everything is super expensive now.
but no matter, probably won't be for this year anyways. My oldest really like mountain biking, and seems keen on lift assisted riding, which I think is pretty much only St-Sauveur in the Laurentians, right? It's about 2 hours from home, so probably as far as we're willing to go. I saw some places near Mont Habitant, but I don't really know that mountain. Is the skiing any good? We'd thought about Ste Marie, but it's really very small, and the community there is pretty... insular. Plus, I want my kids (especially my youngest) to be more exposed to francophone culture. He goes to school in French, and I speak French to him, but English is all around us, and none of his friends are French. I don't want him to become un assimilé.... I figure if we spend more time in a truly francophone environment, he'll pick up on it quick. It's a funny reason to buy a cottage, I'll admit, but identity politics really matter I guess... And when I sent him to a bike camp in Gatineau this summer, his french became far more fluid. All it took was one week.(and how friggin ironic is it, that I typed this up in english...?!?! from one francophone to another, via an American site?!)

Every year for our performance reviews we are supposed to have a company resume updated. This is supposed to be done by your manager but in reality the employee ends up doing it. I asked my manager if I needed to do the updated or if he was cool doing it himself. He responded only with a smiley. I love strong leadership with clear direction.
Did some reading yesterday.
You seem to have it pretty figured out. Indeed the Laurentians had/is having a major housing boom. Within a few months our house gained 15% in value, and available good condition properties are getting scarce. Lift assisted riding is either Bromont (soon Sutton) or MSS Bike Park. There is tons and tons of riding around St-Sauveur even though Trailfork does not actually show this. The skiing is ok, but it's small hills. Tremblant is still pretty close if you are based in St-Sauveur. French will be learned for sure, but most people here are bilingual. Hit me up if you have more questions!Do you have any recommendations for where would be a good spot to get a cottage in the Laurentians?
