Does anyone know where I can find boxed tobiko or massago locally? I used to get them from a wholesaler but they don't do retail anymore.

I think they’re at the Brighton Avenue Costco this week. They had a booth/display across from the cut flowers. Are they that good? I have dry and cracked skin. I refuse to put lotion on my hands because that’s not a manly thing to do, lol.

Someone already mentioned Fujiya and I'm pretty sure I've seen it at T&T before.

They're amazing!!! I'd pay the $206 for family pack & shipping if I couldn't find it locally. If my memory serves correctly, it smells nice too.

The one Hondaracer mentioned is unscented, not greasy and hypoallergenic. Manly enough :)

Misery, they have the stuff at the Willingdon Costco, as well. It is good stuff. They were putting it on everyone's hands. My hands are so smooth now. Now I know how office workers' hands feel, gulolol.

$99.00 for enough aloe cream to last a year and a half (two large jars and 6 smaller ones). They also had a larger pack for $149.00. And, the mother of all gift packs, for $599.00, IIRC.

You saved my life lmao. I tried to call Costco so I could get the pricing before I head out there but nobody answered me :ahwow: I'm hoping to go tomorrow :bowrofl:

Im either looking for natural rubber mats or larger Balsa wood sheets... I guess I can call hobby shops but didnt see anything at HomeDepot, Lowes and Canadian Tire's websites.

edit; Found a store for Balsa sourced through Craigslist, located in Maple Ridge, but the sheets look small in the picture.
Spoiler!

Don't bother going. Hobby stores only have small sheets. 5 to 6 inches wide at the most. It's used for making model planes and shit.

CharlesInCharge 03-25-2018 12:26 AM

Perfect! Thanks!
Im converting a closet frame to fit over my Previa's sunroof so that I can stand up in it when parked and cook BBQ :)

Every time you mention the Previa, it reminds me of the one we used to own. Had it for quite some time. We called her Priscilla. Maroon in colour. She was, um.......... interesting. My wife loved the gull wing dash. Folding rear seats were kind of cool. And, that engine under the floor, mounted in that tilted configuration. Anyway, carry on carrying on.

CharlesInCharge 03-25-2018 08:06 AM

:) I had a supercharged version imported, drove it on the highway and it felt like a sports car. I dont think theres a car that has the similar feel and driving height of the Previa.

any recommendations for where to buy 3/4" wood panels for basic DIY projects like a bench or tray? home depot reviews on their pine wood panels appear to fall apart.

MG1 03-25-2018 12:12 PM

^same place, Windsor Plywood.

reimerhardwoods.com has some really nice stuff. Baltic Birch plywood is one of my favourite types of plywood to use for shelving and stuff.


Actually there are lots of places that carry way better products than Home Depot. Home Depot is just convenient is all. Same with Rona and Lowes.

Dicks Lumber, Standard Building Supplies, Kerrisdale Lumber, Northern Building Supplies, Dunbar, etc. They're all as good or better than Home Depot. It's really too bad Curtis Lumber is no longer around.

I go get stuff from Home Depot because of their Consumer Credit Card, where they off no interest offer over 6, 12, 18 months or 10 -15% off depending on promo event. Can't beat that.

The times I need good quality wood products, I avoid Home Depot, Rona, and Lowes.

hot pot/bbq (no steam) combo for portable gas stove.

something like this without the steam.

Just wanted to say thanks to MG1, had posted "where can I get backsplash cut " he was nice to lend me his tools to do it myself. MG I owe u a pic of finished work.

MG1 04-01-2018 05:52 PM

Damn, that's what I need to do with mine.............. one day.

Lomac 04-06-2018 04:13 PM

One question. Looking for older SD cards. 64gb and under, class 4 or 6. It's for one of the original HD video cameras and anything newer than those specs don't really work. Know of any shops that may have these apart from pawn stores?

Or does perhaps anyone here have some old SD cards they want to get rid of?

Misery, I went and purchased the $99.00 gift pack. It'll last me at least a year and a half. Being type II diabetic, I go to the washroom a lot and when I wash my hands all the other lotions are useless, as in, they wash off. This thing soaks into your skin as soon as you apply it, and it's made with Hawaiian Aloe Vera - natural and works like a darn. Proven medicine.

Anyway, they're gone now for another two or so months. I got mine the day they were taking down their display at Costco.
