I use London Drugs for normal prints, but I need these true to size and pre-cut accurately. I don't think either of them accept custom sizes from what I could see online.
I guess I could print the 16x11.25" at 16x12" fit to size and cut off the white, but I'd still need a shop for the 25.75x3.25" print. At that point, might as well just get them both done elsewhere.
I'll have to give them a call to confirm.
London drugs does 20x28. Both should fit on one print. Just use straight edge and a sharp knife to cut them to size.

Started de-ricing my car and pulled off the cheapo CF vinyl that previous owner(s) installed. Found that the trim pieces have been painted before as well. Not sure if I should refinish all the pieces (too lazy) or just buy as new. Still need to remove the vinyl from the shifter surround and steering wheel lower trim.
I probably have a few trim pieces in good condition lying around if you want them. In brushed aluminum iirc, cause i sold all the black cube already lol
Also that doesn't look like it's been painted over - it just looks like the adhesive on the CF overlay ruined the original paint of that specific trim piece.

I'm looking at roof racks for my corolla, the kind which mount to the door frame. I have a similar setup on my chevy tracker, but it has become rusted and has stained the windows with rust from rain run off.
I am wondering if companies make covers to place over the racks to protect them from rain and sun when not in use, if that makes sense? I'd prefer that to having to dismount and mount the roof rack every time I want to use them to carry stuff. I can't seem to find anything online, but I may not be using the right terminology.
I had a set of BMW foot racks mounted on my E36 M3 for years and I used them quite regularly to haul my bikes. I am pretty confident they were made by Thule and never had any issues rusting. In fairness, they had a proper mount built onto the chassis.
I have factory roof racks on my Corolla iM, the type mounted to the door frame as you describe. Have had them for a while now and no issues, and I am in Toronto where the weather is a bit more extreme than in BC. No rust or any issues (yet.). You just need to wash the car often and make sure it is sprayed down with a good soap.

For the love of Wynonna Earp, I turned on the ceiling fans in the house to cool things down. I noticed it not being as effective as before. I forgot to set it for summer. What a difference, gulolol. If you have reversible ceiling fans, make sure it is spinning counter-clockwise.

Our response is being augmented and supported by resources from the BC RCMP and our local police partners at VicPD, Central Saanich Police, Oak Bay Police, and Westshore RCMP,” said Saanich Police Chief Constable Dean Duthie.
Police say say gunfire was exchanged after they were called to the bank around 11 a.m. for reports two armed suspects entered the building near Pear and Shelbourne streets.
Investigators say the suspects were “heavily armed,” with body armour reported.
A vehicle found in the area associated with the suspects was found with a potential explosive device inside, police say.
The officers hurt are all members of the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team — three Saanich Police and three Victoria Police officers.
Their injuries vary in severity, with some undergoing surgery.

I give props to the Saanich police officers based on what the Saanich mayor said about the cops:
I’m awestruck. When you look at the video of officers running into the line of fire to save the residents of Saanich that they swore an oath to, what a call of duty,” said Haynes.
Police literally running into the line of fire from bank robbers is the highest level of sacrifice from an officer in the line of duty.
These robbers had assault rifles and body armour. They were heavily armed when they went into the BMO branch.
They also placed a bomb inside a vehicle near the bank.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

She was awarded the order of of Canada for journalism yesterday.
What I didn’t realize is since her last broadcast in 2014 she’s now in a care home with Alzheimer’s and basically doesn’t know anyone/remember anything. Fuck, terrible

Man, is someone cutting onions Grew up watching Global News, feels like Squire has been on since I was a little kid.
Glad that her decades of work in broadcasting was recognized and her family can have such wonderful memories of her.

Alzheimer’s sucks for both the person and everyone around them. I frequented a dementia ward for years and it was a very humbling experience seeing how people from all walks of life can end up in the same spot to live out what's left of their life.
I never watched Deb Hope when she was an anchor, but I hope she gets a regular stream of visitors even if she can't remember who they are. Even without their memory, people with dementia can still enjoy the feeling from having company and social interaction.
^ Lisa Raitt, Cons MP's husband also has early onset of dementia. Stats show 1/9 will experience some form or degree of cognitive loss, dementia, or alzheimer. Devastating for sure, hopefully, they will have a treatment before I get to that age or stage.
