usually they say 2 weeks iirc, usually hits that mark if i'm not mistaken.

Just drove by the Holdom Skytrain Station, this morning. Saw this dumbass looking sign at the corner. You know, the Blue with white letter “T”. W T F???? It’s not some whimpy sign, either. If it lights up at night............ this is where our fucking gas tax and transit levies go toward. “Oh look, people, that must be a Skytrain Station!” /rant.

I’ll see if I can post a pic of it later. Maybe in the, “Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign,” thread.

:facepalm:

GDI, bear!!!! :yuno: maul ?!?!

I can hear the sigh of relief from Asians everywhere.

Every SkyTrain station has one, or would have one by now. And every new/replacement bus stop sign. And the SeaBus terminal. It doesnt even make sense. Say, if there was another competitor of a different name, then yes, T would make sense for marking these as "Translink". Should've instead been pictograms of the applicable transit service instead of the "T"

Why that big? It can only be seen from one direction, because the fucking skytrain structure and pillar covers it from every other angle, lol.

The one at Rupert Station is positioned directly in front and blocking the traffic light at the crossing... LOL. from the other direction, the back of the traffic light blocks the T. Maybe they're making more work for themselves to "fix" later on LOLOL

I need gift ideas for 1year boy bday

I need ideas for a 2 year old boy

For kids under 2, it's gonna be a red envelope. The kid isn't going to remember anything. Otherwise, I would just get the parents something. If they drink, then a bottle of nice booze would be great.

Leap Frog My Pal Scout/Violet for the 1 yr old. My son can't go to bed without his Scout, it's his security blanket. Can be programmed with the kid's name, favourite food, colour, animal, etc and plays bedtime music.

I decided to take a last minute trip to the Island earlier this week. For the Friday sailing all I could reserve was the 10:45pm from Tsawwassen to Duke Point. I would really like to get an earlier ferry, even if I have to wait a sailing or two at Horseshoe Bay.

My options are:

Tsawwassen:
- arrive by 6pm (the earliest I can get there after work and driving from Aldergrove) and attempt to catch the 8:15. If I miss it, I catch the 10:45 I reserved anyways.

Horseshoe Bay:
- possibly get off work early and arrive by 6pm to catch either the 7pm, 8pm, or 10:10pm ferries. I am much less familiar with this route and how many sailing waits there could be on a summer Friday.

Thoughts?

Take the day off and go in the morning

Too late for that. I'd leave tonight in that case.

You type like you're sick. :pokerface:

I’m in the process of purchasing a Tacoma. The dealership that is local to me and that I would like to do business with does not have the spec I want in stock. But, another dealership does have one. Should I speak to my salesman about doing a dealer trade, or should i go directly to the other dealer?

I’m also unsure whether I should opt for the undercoat and rust inhibitor spray. I’m inclined to think it is just a dealer up sell but I would appreciate advice. I’ve never bought a new car before and the whole experience is a bit intimidating!

Contact the other dealer, get the price all in, then tell your dealer that’s the one you want and beat it or you go there.

What kind of undercoat is it? Some brands are going to be better than others.

You can always go to a shop that does undercoating and ask them for a quote. Should be a lot cheaper than going through dealer.

I'm curious what other people do, or what the "right" thing to do it:

I called my fav. sushi place to make an order blah blah blah. Went to pick it up,and paid. So, do you leave a tip for a phone order? And if so, what % do you tip?

Thanks!

I tip 15% to our regular sushi place on phone orders. In the past, I've been a non-tipper for takeout, but my attitude has changed since I've learned that the kitchen staff usually gets a cut of the tips, too. If it's a regular place, it helps to establish a good relationship with them, and they'll seem to put some extra effort in making sure your order is done right. The place we order from will regularly give us freebies, like spring rolls.

10% for pickup orders myself.

new taco, a undercoat maybe worse by trapping in the moisture

I am pretty sure toyota has learnt frame rust protection on the taco the hard way. Also, rust warranty is basically life time and our conditions are not as bad as the prairies. Just do the AC drain hose mod and you should be fine. If you like your current dealer/sales, give them a chance... otherwise just head to the other dealer to get it. Tbh, toyota dealers don't really like to trade cars with each other.

Damn ... hoverboard is getting real.

FYI: On the Friday, several hours before my reservation at 10:45, there was a 2 sailing wait at HS Bay for all remaining sailings. I called and was told that even if I arrived at 6pm, I would likely not make any of the remaining sailings at 7, 8, and 10:10pm. . At Tsawwassen, I was told that even if I arrived at 5:45, I would still miss out on the 8:15 ferry, and have to take the 10:45. The advice given was to just chill out and take the 10:45 as reserved. Ended up only paying $59. I would guess the sailing was at about 50% of capacity. My son slept the whole time in the car and I was able to have a nap. Traffic from the terminal to Parksville was light, so I arrived much sooner than expected. I would recommend the last crossing if you are on a budget, have kids, and don't like the stress of traffic.
