Gonna get a covid test anyway just to rule it out.

People are panicking in PG, emptying shelves because of events on the coast. These morons don't realize that we are not affected because a lot of merchandise gets trucked in from Alberta and has to pass through PG. Shades of the early COVID panic. Highway 7 may reopen soon which is a major route out of Vancouver

I've seen the photos of what happened for highway, and hope it repairs sooner.

They are looking at reopening Highways 3 & 7 first as they are just covered with debris. These will get traffic flowing North and East. I can't see the Coquihalla Highway opening for months

A few weeks back I bought a little something I needed for the airplane on ebay. $6.10 including shipping and tax. Was supposed to be here the following Monday via USPS. On Monday I used the provided tracking info to see if was out for delivery. It had been delivered on Saturday.

To New York, not Florida.

I sent the seller a message through ebay saying it had been shipped to the wrong address.

The package arrived on Tuesday. They had shipped it to me Okay but just sent the wrong tracking info. Then I found it would not fit my airplane; too large.

Then I got a message from the seller saying they had taken care of it. Another package arrived a couple of days later, with more of the same items.

So now I have eight milspec rubber grommets that won't fit. But I got a great deal on them!

So I ordered some of a smaller size from Grainger. They came and fit; but I had to order 10 of them when I only needed one. A local seller had them but probably would have required a minimum order of 100 as well as a $20 smaller than minimum order fee.

And as it turned out a friend of mine was working on a Cessna and both the large and the smaller grommets were just what he needed.

Stick with Grainger.

Today I got my property tax estimate for next year. A 34% increase.

 

[fubar57]

Yikes!!

 

[Greg Boeser]

That's what you get for making no improvements to your property. Inflation is driving up property values, and the greedy taxman and bankers are raking it in. This is starting to remind me of 2009.

We are in a housing bubble and it is going to burst soon. We never learn…

 

[Greg Boeser]

Yup. Last one left me unemployed for a year and a half.

 

[SaparotRob]

As above, "YIKES!"

 

[Greg Boeser]

Wasn't so bad. I used that as an excuse to go back to school on the GI Bill. Finally got my bachelor's after 31 years.

Today I got my property tax estimate for next year. A 34% increase.

And that's just an "estimated" tax ...

Left me shocking ...

Give me some time to compare with situation in here.

Improvements like what? Renovation? Or adding CCTV? Or colouring the fences???

Inflation is driving up, very fast, everywhere ... Too fast ... Too uncontrollable ...

Yes, the rich men get richer and richer ...

Too many to talk, but I prefer to stay out of politics ...

I spent 5 days in the hospital with a stroke. I am very lucky with only the 0nly major problem with the speech therapy.

I look forward to seeing seeing you all.

Oh boy, sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you, and I hope you have a full and speedy recovery my friend.

 

[vikingBerserker]

HOLY CRAP DUDE! I hope you heal well and quickly! I'm looking forward to our next argument ...errr discussion.

 

[ARTESH]

S Shortround6 :

It is a sad news indeed, I wish you and your family a good ending with that therapy. Finger crossed and praying for a speedy recovery.

 

[Airframes]

Hope you recover quickly and fully.
An English friend living in Denmark (who's also a member here) had a similar experience around three weeks ago.
I spoke to him last weekend, and he's doing fine now.
