Just because I've apparently caught the Canada doesn't mean I'm going back there!

I'm holding out hope that there's a cure. :p

hahaha. :D canada is much cooler and no monsoon or sandstorms to deal with. :tup:

I'm jealous of all your Canadian Holidays. We have a couple team members on the project I'm on that are part of our Canadian division and it seems like for every one US holiday, there's 2 or 3 Canadian ones. Even better for them since they're on a US project, on our observed holidays, they just "work from home".

Oh I know, I have been up there once before.

I will die if it's too cold (below 65 degrees F).

b15 07-02-2013 04:35 PM

haha 65* must feel like a freezer considering the weather in the Southwest right now

It's not really that bad. I can handle 110+ better than I can the colder temps.

My blood has been thinned out, so cold comes quickly.

I definitely got some looks a few weeks ago. I bought a small 4 shelf unit for the garage, forgetting that I had driven the Z. Everything fit, just had to unpack the box in the lot and stack the shelves in the hatch one by one.

Yeah, I've had to make due with the vehicles we have. I borrowed my wife's HHR to take some left over building material to the transfer station (dump). The attendant was surprised that I was able to fit 660kg in the little thing.

P.S. don't tell Mrs.Force :icon17:

Actually it doesn't matter, we're trading in the HHR tomorrow. :tup:

I worked with a guy from Jamaica. He was in Canada for 20+ years and still wore sweaters in July. :icon14:

Both back seats and the front passenger seat folded down.

b15 07-02-2013 05:11 PM

I did that with my sister in laws Honda Pilot. We had a neighborhood trash day where you could dump all sorts of large items the trash guy wouldn't normally haul so I brought over two car fulls of crap from my upstairs renovation. Best part was she knew up front and still suggested I use her car :D

Same here, I know I just moved but we plan on moving again in another 2-4 years to that exact description - land with detached garage/shop

LMBmikeZ 07-02-2013 07:08 PM

I can safely say that unless you pay a ridiculous amount for the drill bit then they are all pretty much the same :ugh2: .........garbage if and when used daily or professionally! Hobby wise they are good though :tup:

I worked as a machinist apprentice before I did my electrician ticket and there we had super expensive bits and other machinist precision tools, but those are used for CNC machines and or manual mills or lathes.

Since going into electrical I can see the difference in some of the tools :ugh2:

:tup: it's like the difference between tools we use on aircraft, and tools we use at home.. sometimes it's the same thing.. because honestly, just because it's 50$ a drill bit doesn't make it high quality..
