It's time everyone in the world got together and began to agree that lawns are stupid, and to begin replacing them either with fruit/vegetable gardens or just gravel for people who can't be bothered
[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;48128346]I'm running through the Canadian Tire and Home Depot catalogue for cordless drills.
Any suggestions for such?[/QUOTE]
At my last job the Milwaukee drills seemed to be the best. The DeWalt's were okay, but didn't have much of a battery life.
What I'm not looking forward to this month: The traffic from the Pan Am Games. It might not be so bad right guys???
What I'm looking forward to this month: my birthday and I'm gonna go figure something out on what to do that day.

If you're looking for something cheap and don't care about battery compatibility... Black and Decker has a 20v Lithium ion drill kit pretty cheap that comes with the drill, a bag and a bunch of bits. I've been using it for my Car PC project, which required drilling through 3mm steel in a couple places with a step bit. Didn't have any problems.
Otherwise, Dewalt has a drill and 1/4" drive impact combo pack which is pretty nice. You can get that at Canadian Tire, Amazon, TSC and some other places. I'd trust that more than I trust mine.

Or just let grass and plants grow like the entire rest of the world, I'd be alright with more nature

It's not really that bad here, you can actually see the lower mainland in that picture to the east of the super huge smoke cloud(s)
Went biking and the bugs were super nuts today though :v:
I also left all my windows open when I left for work this morning
So k-days in my place is near. should i go? (Edmonton Festival)

So much smoke.

Were only about 1/beijing atm its when we get up to 4 that we have to worry.
Also we have taken drastic steps to help the situation by hiring ONE water bomber to bolster the ZERO we already had.
I think these budget cuts are ridiculous,the money should come out of politicians paychecks first and not emergency services.
First Steve shuts down our coast guard, now they shut down our water bombers.
God damnit Steve.
it's so hot recently!

I prefer AstroTurf.
Humidity must have been high today. Looked like a fog over the city.
It's about time it started feeling like summer in Toronto, the only problem is the asshole bus driver on my way home had the AC turned off and it made me feel ill, which prevented me from reading.

I see you're gunning for your lawn to be the next women's world cup venue
I prefer no lawns parents had monster lawns and too damn big gardens growing up and they were a pain in the arse to take care of.
What's a good Canadian online delivery service for electronics?
Amazon.ca has kind of boated prices compared to its .com counterpart

Exchange rate problems, all Canadian retailers are going to be 20-25% more expensive than US...

I live in Kamloops.
Green, weedless grass doesn't exist for more than five or so weeks a year. The rest of the time it's basically a fire hazard or too soggy to do anything.

Whooo thunderstorm!

If I recall it was still higher priced for us even when we were at par.

So is it a good idea to convert all USD that I have into CAD and wait for it to stabilize :v:

CAD will probably fall more once Iran deal is signed.
Iran has a lot of crude oil reserves, which will drive oil prices lower, and in turn hurt the Alberta oil industry, which will show up in CAD value...

Time to save those precious USD and wait until it dips even lower! Gotta max those USD to CAD.
