I bought a 28 inch Ariens to replace the old smaller Toro we had and it's kinda hard to move around.

This is pretty decent. I've had the previous gen since 2018, and it's been lent out numerous times to other members here. So abused and transported around a bunch.
I highly recommend getting a 5" or 4" pad adapter as well. Some carpro pads are 5", like the velvet pad to safely remove orange peel.

Just got these in ears. It's amazing how good a $30 (reg $46) IEM can sound. Running them off my headphone jack on my phone for now. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CMZT5K21?...fed_asin_title

Short shifter install should 100% be an interior job with some centre console disassembly... def dont need a Vdub specialist.... Aria is good for that if you don't want to attempt

Got some wyze cams for $18 a piece off amazon.
Been searching for a good phone plan. Would like something cheaper than my current $40 for 40gb+20gb bonus from Fido. They were willing to offer $34 for 60gb, but wants $15 to process the changes. In the past year I didn't go over 20gb of usage.

I was looking through this and going through the Rogers site, but was only able to get 60gb for $35, which is pretty much inline with everyone else without getting employee pricing.
