Good post. Didn't really destroy individual finances to be honest. It was a bountiful year at both ends helped by CERB. Public sector didn't lose a beat. Sometimes it is hard to identify the little man pulling the strings. I highly doubt it is the prime minister. One man shouts out the truth...

Sad that the priority was to get out of Dodge the day after the session ended. It will be 6 weeks by the time it is done. Might have paid for the trip but likely still getting paid for work because the session had ended. So typical of the entire public sector and only being talked about...

Sad that the politician's priority is to get out of Dodge the day after the session ends. He was probably working from home as it was. Now he has 14 days of quarantine to deal with. There is no hope for productivity ever from these people. Dandy pension waiting though.

I doubt we will ever see negative interest rates in Canada as politicians will not be happy about losing money from their individual cash hoards. They make the most money and pay for nothing.

junkies ( I do not like to use the term ) are an important part of the economy for many people that do pay rent and put food on the table. It is actually a booming sub market with many high paying jobs all focused on helping the afflicted but in reality focused on helping themselves through...

money is coming back to him from tax on cannabis sales

Why did they not take advantage of the deep water port at Churchill for a pipeline serving the east coast? Can't say I ever heard it discussed,

Ontario Minister of Finance discovered holidaying in St Barts while Ontario locks down. Pre tapes a bogus Christmas eve message for his constituents. Another example of law makers placing themselves above the law although I do not believe he technically broke a law.

Quite a world we live in. The rich bicker amongst themselves while the poor do their best to survive another day. No relationship between the two.

WE hear the stories of family businesses passed on to next generations and how often #2 isn't quite #1 and #3 gets whatever is left from #2 to play with. Not saying it directly applies to politics. Yet we are so opposed to change that we let it happen.

My apologies for derailing the thread and thanks for the excellent discussion related to the Christmas present I bought for myself. I recommend everyone to go out and do the same. Who knows how long we got? I'll start another thread in an appropriate forum once I have more questions to ask. May...

I almost bought a Gray before the 283 but there were mounting issues related to the rotation. Still learning.

It could be yours:) Did you search Colorado River Jetboats 1960? The boat came from St Clair county Michigan where the river is the border with the US. Not saying it was used for anything illegal. I'll see if I can't post a pic. Thanks for the comments.

That's a really good idea as well. Wasn't even thinking of the 350 when it happened and now I have two boat motors. Comment from the seller was that it was a good motor for a blower.

Curious about the average hours use per year with a combine and if the motor works hard. Never had the chance to bugger up a field of grain, likely for good reason. I will look differently at combines from now on bearing in mind I am not living in the heart land. I am along the highway to Ottawa...

No budget for a full time engine tuner in Plan A. Hoping for a tastes great / less filling compromise with fuel economy a fairly high priority. It won't be driven hard but it's always nice to be ready if needed. 70 Mph would turn some heads and the jet drive gives a neat rooster tail. The...

Thanks for the comments. This is better than porn. 1.94 / 1.50 76 cc heads. I have a spare set of 60 cc 1.72 / 1.50's. What happens with that swap? Liking the idea of a new cam and here we go again. Interesting that the 350 is rated at 165 HP. I was told the stock 283 is rated at 185...

We may need to talk more about this

You might need to add a new sub forum to the list. Grampa had it set up with a one barrel Holley that I just transferred over to the new 283. Not sure I ever saw any spec as far as cfm. I've barely run it but it seems okay. Same thing with the cam as there were no markings and no one could...

That's an amazing tip. I should humor myself and spend a day phoning people from Toronto to ask if they know where I can find combine parts.
