Since we've got different tools and deals threads scattered everywhere, figured we could start a thread for sales and deals. Husqvarna has 20% off on professional equipment (including chainsaws) until April 27th. Some saving on mowers and other lawn care equipment too.

This probably deserves it's own thread: https://tuckercarlson.com/the-vladimir-putin-interview/

We're outgrowing the Wife's Colorado, and she wants to replace it with a 3 row SUV. What's good out there? We don't need something right now, but we want to have the vehicle decided in case it's a model that takes a while to order in. We don't need/want a full sized SUV, but don't want something...

Came across this today, I still remember listening to Paul Harvey as a kid. He broadcast this in 1965, and it's probably more relevant today then it was back then.

Ha, I get to be first in the new section. Taken back in July

Anyone else notice the forum is slow to load lately? Especially pictures? Both my phone and computer are slow. It's certainly not my internet connection, everything else loads fine and speeds tests are still at 350mbps.

I had a laugh at this:

SpaceX is planning the first test flight of the combined Super Heavy Booster and Starship tomorrow morning. Will be the most powerful rocket flown by a factor of 2.

Does anyone know a place in Canada or preferably Alberta that stocks a bench seat for a RZR PRO or a Polaris General? Looking to put it in a boat, both UTV Mountain Accessories and PRP make them, but I can't find a US site that ships to Canada or a Canadian site that has stock. (PRP and...

3 US bank failures in a week. Credit Suisse looks to be in trouble with stock prices falling and a Saudi backer refuses to give more financial assistance.

Big reversal in the housing market, probably more to come https://wowa.ca/reports/canada-housing-market

Possibly looking at buying a log splitter to share between my parents and us. I currently have a little 6 ton electric/hydraulic unit from Canadian Tire, and although it gets the job done its really slow, and I've found it quicker to just split with an axe. Between the 2 homes we split 6-8 cords...

6 years after it's originally proposed launch date, NASA's Artemis Spacecraft is finally launching to the moon on August 29th. The first flight will be un-manned but will hopefully allow humans to return to the moon over 50 years after Apollo.

A few years ago it was oil, now it's natural gas. This morning US natural gas is $9.10 per MMbtu, here in Alberta it's hovering around $2 per MMbtu. Screwed again by lack of pipeline capacity. We've been waiting on high gas prices for over a decade, here we are and we can't even take advantage...
