It's been doing this for years. The nearest Dodge dealership can't find anything wrong with it.

 

Bought used in 2019. Not a Honda or a Toyota, a Dodge Grand Caravan. Given how many examples of the previous Caravan body type I still see on the roads (at least 17 years old), I think I will have it for at least 4 more years. It runs well and I keep it maintained.

It's only annoying quirk is that the "check engine" light comes on for a few days whenever we have a lot of rain and high humidity.

"Donnie is a full of shit narcissist blowhard and he fails at everything he touches."

Tell that to all those people taken off the streets by masked men and whisked off to El Salvador or "Alligator Alcatraz".>

Imagine being dumb enough to think that those convoy loons are representative of Canadians as a whole, instead of being the lunatic fringe embarrassment that they are.

I forgot about Sheer. Another career politician who has never had a real job. Okay, his dad did get him a job in his company's mail room. I guess that's more real world experience than PP has had.

Call me crazy, but I suspect that the former head of two national banks just might know more about managing an economy than some guy who went into politics straight after college.

LOL, they didn't have to "pull Donald Trump out of the bag". We all heard Donny Bonespurs tell the world he wanted to annex Canada as the 51st state. We watched as he tried to intimidate us with tariffs. Do you think we don't get American news up here?

PP has parroted MAGA talking points at every opportunity. Most Canadians, at least those with brains, are looking at what's happening below the border and deciding that we definitely don't want that.

Many of us also looked at the career history of the candidates and decided that a man with years of experience in banking would be better for our economy than a career politician who has never had another job, and who changed his name to try to win votes.

Given the MAGAt's current obsession with drag queens and trans women using women's washrooms and locker rooms, it's right up to date.

Not always. I've gotten a few from women.

 

It will be based on summer road construction in Saskatoon. Player tosses the dice, moves to a space on the board that says "Construction ahead, choose a lane". Player picks the right lane, then draws a card from a deck. Wrong answer! You need to filter to the left lane! Go back 4 spaces and wait for a chance to merge!

Another roll of the dice gets you lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood as you try to follow the detour signs.

Fun for the whole family! Except those old enough to drive. Probably.

At the moment my dream bike is the Circe Morpheus tandem. My better half started having balance problems a few years ago and had to give up riding after a long lifetime of cycling. He gets bored riding on a trainer indoors and wishes he could join me. In the front recumbent seat of the Morpheus, he would have a low center of gravity and a clear view. Unfortunately, the price is a bit more than we can afford, between currency exchange rates, shipping, and import duties.

I bought stocks of Ballard Power years ago when hydrogen cells were going to be The Next Big Thing. Not many stocks thankfully, because it slipped further and further and then got delisted. It seems to be one of those things like airships that gets revived every 20 years or so.

 

My Carmine Jewel sour cherry tree outdid itself this year.

Is anyone else here because Reddit kicked them out for spurious reasons? I was told that I was banned because I had "promoted hate", but the link to the post where I supposedly did this didn't have anything of mine in it. When I appealed they just doubled down.
