I use the CCDC Master format for home maintenance and structure. It helps break down each item and brings to light things that I hadnt thought of before. That means maintenance, ongoing repairs, upgrades or future projects or just being aware and keeping it in mind. I have a separate system food/sup...

The Red Cross (Canada) is on a blitz to hire Responders for their "Emergency Response Teams. Positions are open across Canada. If you have a zeal for helping your fellow man, a clean criminal record and some time to spare perhaps you want to throw your name in to the hat? https://www.redcross.ca/vol...

Mine is a Seiko Kinetic; winds itself whenever your arm moves. If your arm stops moving because you died, well then you've got all the time in the world, haven't you. I would never rely on my smart phone, what with the possibility of the battery running down if I couldn't charge it. I also prefer w...

Popped into Costco this morning to do the monthly consumables restock. Not a single roll of tp or white paper towels. Lots of kraft paper towel.

The province of Ontario is watching closely. As rates drop, so do the restrictions. The general consensus is that "if" a second wave comes it will be at least partially tied to the return to school in September. I suppose its a monitor, stay vigilant and wait and see what happens. My personal opinio...

Aside from items held up due to plant shutdowns that are more/less specialized (RTU's, etc.) most consumer goods are now back to normal in SW Ontario. You still can't get n95's, but pretty much everything else is stocked and on shelves. From Dollar stores, to grocery stores.

Crown, I think Homedics is the walmart/costco type brand. No experience with this unit at all. These are a bit higher end units for disinfecting cpap type machines etc. https://canadacpapsupply.com/3b-medical-lumin-cpap-mask-cleaner.html I see some cpap machines etc come into thrift store. Will def...

This is a great time to invest. With prices low investments into whatever your RSP is for means when the economy bounces back, you've more in the kitty to grow. Real Estate is down in many areas but from what I'm hearing (anecdotally of course, and only in my region of Ontario) is it will be short l...
