I have sabotage the system on my workout playlist :D I hope you're not alone living in the middle of nowhere.

It's so different here than almost any part of Canada and culturally diverse. We have Chinatown, Greektown, Koreatown, Portugal Village, LIttle India, Little Poland and Little Malta. Even the road signs in those neighborhoods are in their respective language. We used to have some of the best authentic restaurants in the country, but that industry has been decimated by covid. Who knows what will be left when the city opens again. I love bringing people here for their first time and showing off the city.



I snapped this picture of the 401 highway during rush hour last March. It's the busiest highway in North America and normally looks like the second pic during rush hour.

Have you seen the Rolling Stones Living in a Ghost Town video? It's filmed in London, LA, Toronto, Kyoto, Cape Town, and Oslo during the lockdown. So weird to see all these huge cities virtually empty.

A major thoroughfare runs near by. Anything going into and out of the city passes close enough I can hear the traffic.

There has been very little change in density during this pandemic. Cars and trucks during the day, mostly trucks after dark.

That must be really hard on you. :( I hate being alone for more than a day even with a dog. At least you have the internet and us clowns to talk to.



The stay at home order is for four weeks. They closed all gyms in November for four weeks too... and they're still closed lol Lying liars who lie! Personally I have no plans on staying home 100% of the time. Doing my own thing I haven't gotten sick nor made anyone else sick. I was at the beach this afternoon and went by the bike trails to see if the mud has dried up yet. The city has them roped off and a sign threatening fines if you use them. :finger: I know of a few unsanctioned trails that I may check out tomorrow.

Thanks for the T. Update. I've yet to talk to family back there since your lockdown started.
Does the trails along the don Valley still exist for mountain biking? Used to ride those back in the 90's.

Our 2 week lock down went for 160 days it sucked and I wasn’t eligible for any benefits from the government except a one of payment which was sweet FA. Yet the people already on welfare or the dole got an extra $500 a fortnight. They told me to access my retirement fund, I didn’t but did grow a bit lol. But made me change careers which has been better so far.

Nice and clean bud.

I've been working on the yard the last few days before the bugs come out. Have a bunch of piles of sticks and yard crap waiting for rain so I can burn them. Talked with my wood guy and should have 4 cord dropped off in the next couple weeks......Lots to do :blsmoke:

I haven't touched anything yardwise yet...haven't even been able to clean up the winter's dogs' little landmines everywhere...been wet and just starting to dry.
Just in time for more rain, sigh....

the lower don trails are in pretty rough shape now. Lots of erosion and the wooden features are in unrideable in several spots. The northern part by Edwards Gardens is still pretty well maintained.

Wow that's crazy. Our emergency benefits gave almost everyone who was laid off $500 per week, better than nothing but $500 doesn't go very far. My only real complaint about the benefit is they didn't take taxes. You're a general contractor now right?

It was beautiful here yesterday...about 75f. I got my brother and we raked leaves at my rentals...I was glad to have his help as there were a shitload.

My one rental is a 4 bedroom with 4 young men living there...I found them hanging out on the roof with my lawn chairs up there, getting high. I was pissed...I just had the roof put on last year...Fucktards!!

Got a little bike ride in afterwards...oh and i broke down and took a full trucklload of cardboard to the recycling yesterday...an entire years worth of cardboard from deliveries, lol. My garage has so much more room now!

Good morning everyone. It's GLORIOUS here today. Already 60 and will reach 80-90. The irises are in bloom and I'm putting on my sneakers and heading out. Soon it will be too hot and I doubt I'll get a full 5 in but I'll get something in before it's too hot. My run smoke is Wedding Cake!
