So Friday I have a bad headache, like I had been bumped behind my ear. My dog plays super rough so I just assumed that she had bumped me while roughhousing. Saturday I wake up to half of my face sagging noticeably, I can’t completely close my mouth, and I can’t shut one eye. I’m freakin’...

Just saw this, surprised I’m the first to post it. He was one of my generation’s great comics.

Many of you are aware of the disasters that my town and area have endured in the last two years. To recap: in the spring of 2022 we had the largest flood in territory history. Our town had been moved to high ground after a disasterous flood in 1962. A freak ice jam caused the new town to flood...

Dang, never thought I’d start one of these posts, but here goes. He was the founder of iconic Canadian rock band April Wine. For those of us growing up in the seventies in Canada April Wine played the soundtrack of our youth. I was initially drawn to their original hard rock, nearly heavy metal...

Took three kids out hunting today. It was awesome. My own daughter is an accomplished hunter as is the girl on the back right in the photo. She’s not old enough to drive yet. Just trying to keep old traditions alive.

I have all four interior door panels for a 1970 Coronet 500 four door. May fit wagon, I dunno. Nice shape, completely usable, too good to waste. Car is B3 blue, panels look to be B5 or B7. Free if you can actually use them and not flip them. You pay postage plus a donation if you want to. It’s...

Not sure if southern news is picking it up but northern Canada is getting hit hard by fires. Not small fires but fires that stretch for hundreds of miles. Hundreds of fires. No direct loss of life but that’s a miracle. I saw 13 burned out vehicles on the highway and a 90% destroyed small town...

Apparently it is a coffee shop chain. I know nothing about it other than what I see on Facebook. Anyway, I liked their page and now they send me probably twenty pix a day of various servers attired in bikinis. They are are attractive, generally not inked up like circus sideshow, and the pix are...

I found two more out in the shop, unfortunately Polar Bear plates are becoming very difficult to find and I may not get any more in the foreseeable future. These are free, PM me if you want one or both. If you can send me a a 1970 only plate from your state or province that’s fine but not...

I was surprised to get today's paper and see wife and I on the front page. They did a half page write up inside, as well. The back story is that my town has had two huge natural disasters in exactly one year. In 2022 we were hit with a massive ice jam and corresponding flood that is the worst in...

We get eagles and ravens around all of the time, ptarmigan from time to time, and the occasional grouse. Had this guy drop by this morning. What’s cool is how he’s fluffed up to stay warm. It’s minus 34 without the pussy windchill and this guy has fluffed up his feathers to add insulation value...

I’m also a ham radio guy. I had sold a guy in another province some cool radio stuff. He looks me up online and sees that wife and I are working on our ‘70 wannabee. Without warning, and totally free of charge he sends me this. It’s even my size. It reminds me that not everyone online is a...

I had posted before about how expensive it is to live here. Our land mass is about a third of all of Canada, yet the combined population of Northwest Territories and Nunavut is about sixty thousand people. Put another way, that’s sixty thousand people in an area more then three times the size of...

Like most of Canada we are getting hit with cold temps. Minus forty, without factoring in windchill like a pussy. Besides it being painfully cold to just be outside, weaknesses in our vehicles are suddenly brought to light. Plastic does not like to freeze. If your battery is weak, or block...

Here is what may seem to be a dumb question, but here goes: I have a Holley Sniper FI on my RB stroker. Somewhere we lost/misplaced the threaded rod that goes into the carb or or throttle body to hold on the air cleaner. I live in the arctic, we don’t have a lot of places to buy one. But we have...

It would appear that an anonymous benefactor has gifted me with gold. Thank you, I certainly never expected that.

Woke up to this today. Even though the days are getting longer and you can feel the energy in the sun it is cold. The evenings and nights are beautiful, crystal clear so that you can see billions of stars and northern lights. But with no cloud cover to keep the heat in temperatures drop quickly...

A post this morning selling a street sign got me to thinking about funny street signs. Post yours if you have one, but only real ones. Not gag or fake ones, but real street name signs. I will start off with this famous one from Yellowknife, just north of me. There was some talk of renaming it to...

My 1970 Coronet glove box. The one that I had didn’t have a key. Thought I’d take it apart, remove the guts so that no key needed. I totally pooched it up and now have nothing. So... I need a complete lock/latch assembly for the glovebox of a 1970 Coronet. Preferably one with a key or two. Or a...

I used to think it was enough that we shared impish good looks and a gentle sense of humour. Turns out that there is one more: ******* covid. It feels like someone stuck an axe in my head. Now I’m trapped in the house for ten days.
