Random Rants

[derek111]

I am not one to rant, but this G7 summit nearby and the military helicopter nonsense is getting old. Not to mention they shut down some of the best camping spots and hiking trails for some time in peak season. Such a bummer. And the way they have dealt with the wildlife...grrrr, this is their land, we are the visitors. Overall just a bummer to be denied the most beautiful playground our mountains offer during a beautiful month, which lets face it, we don't get a lot of up here.

It’s amazing when there is work to be done, everyone who complains the loudest suddenly disappears.

Fuck my neighbours. Fuck them all!!

My kids do more to help than these sorry asses.

@goosehd what have they (not) done?

[goosehd]

@ARNC Time to fill in pot holes on our laneway. Last minute call in sick excuses from everyone…

[ARNC]

@goosehd no wonder you’re narked! Is selective filling an opinion?

[goosehd]

@ARNC It is and does happen.

It’s about 1 km long privately owned and maintained…I’m about ready to not maintain it. No problem for my vehicle.

[Giles]

Get a tracked vehicle, that would have the added advantage of wearing the road out ever quicker....

[goosehd]

@Giles I like the way you think

I’d say destroy it with a military parade but the only tanks you guys have are filled with maple syrup.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt careful now, you’re headed towards a slippery slope

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago not slippery, maple syrup is sticky

[steelworker]

You need some Amish neighbors @goosehd !
Ferocious work ethic and the children will be out there every day raking and grooming the lane

[Giles]

And not dicking around on mobile devices

[goosehd]

@steelworker We have quite a few Mennonites around here and they work extremely hard. Best gardens I've ever seen were daily kept by the children with not a weed to be seen. Around St. Jacob Ontario, I watched a barn raising once. Amazing to watch with everyone having a role to play and they worked together better than I could imagine. There were no idle hands to be seen...

@Giles comment posted from your iphone, i assume?

[Tago Mago]

@tody sent by pony express to the local youths to post on the forum

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd excellent, easier to catch the lazy sods if they’re stuck

[goosehd]

@tody …be careful as Sakura will need more antifoul applied at some point.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I thought that’s why you were invited in August?

[goosehd]

@steelworker …and they would do it without asking or being told to. Deep respect for how hard they work.
