Kilt Boy 29353 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 I picked up a new sewing machine. Well, not new. It was made in the 70's. It's a Kenmore! Made in Japan, no electronics, all metal gears and parts, easily convertible to a free arm, case is in perfect condition, $50. This will be great for sewing leather (part of my new hobby). I just need to take it apart and pack it with fresh grease. LET'S GET GREASY! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted February 26, 2020 Thought I'd beat the line up in more ways than one Got to the local Service Ontario and renewed my Driver's Licence, Plate Permit, and also my Health Card (yes I know Health Card is free) Isn't due to be renewed till April, but got it done today. And arrived shortly after the office opened...only two people ahead of me (one advantage of a small town, Service Ontario offices don't have big line ups just a steady stream of customers...even a big line up here is nothing compared to the ones in the bigger cities)...not to mention a personal friendly touch too Anyhow cost $210.00 A Rambling RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted February 28, 2020 A productive Friday today. I've already got and paid in advance for a birthday date with a special lady. And getting to see her again just makes me just look forward to getting older. But today I bought myself my birthday present, a new tv (the old one was giving up the ghost) I bought a LG 49UM6900 television and a LG UBK80 Blu Ray player (I have an old piece of junk dvd player. Tomorrow afternoon the tv gets delivered and hooked up...Big Question what movie do I watch first? What the tv looks like A early happy birthday rambling LOL RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted February 29, 2020 Got the tv, it's installed and OMG the picture...it's night and day compared to my old Samsung. Watching DVD James Bond "From Russia With Love" a 1963 movie...the colours are just vivid on this tv (and blu ray player) Funny thing is how prices came down, I paid close to $1000 for the Samsung 35" back in 2011-2012 (can't remember exactly when) this 49" LG cost $469.00 Oh and I checked Netflix The Big Lebowski isn't on there 😞 but I'll keep my eyes open for it to watch in the future...Thanks for the suggestion🙂 A Happy Rambling From Someone Enjoying His Early Birthday Present RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Picked up some groceries...mostly tinned food, frozen food, kitten food and the essentials, coffee and (no alcohol) beer. I could stick it out for two+ weeks if sh*t happens Then picked up another prescription...my bedside table looks like a pharmacy LOL And truck gassed up...so if I'm quarantined I'll be gassed up with nowhere to go LOL RG 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted March 25, 2020 Got up bright and early today to go out grocery shopping. Got misc. groceries especially the essentials....coffee and beer. And the shelves have been bare of toilet paper the past few times I've been out so today got some TP...now I've got plenty Only part I greet with mixed feelings...senior's hours (when no one else shops) is 7-8am, the one store defines a senior as 55 or older, I'm almost 59, I don't want to be a senior yet LOL I'll still go out 8am or later, 7 is too early RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loblaws and most others work under reduced hours everyone. As for essentials like TP and soap, I had some luck in rural stores. Sometimes a 15 to 20 min drive can make a large difference. Also, I noticed frozen fries have completely disappeared from many store freezers. Never expected it to become a hot commodity while frozen pasta and coffee are still available.

Smalltown Ontario has them...Sobeys has it from 7-8am but no age posted, but Rexall Pharmacy has it 55 and over, from 7-8am. Don't know about No Frills, didn't go there. Most frozen fruit is gone too except frozen mangos and strawberries. I topped up on frozen fruit too. All those cars in town must be outsiders taking that 15-20 minute drive to my rural...well small town LOL. Actually I was the only truck parked on the street (strange) when I went out, and parking lot pretty bare too RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildTiger 1296 Report post Posted April 7, 2020 Went onto Amazon and bought an electric guitar cord and a playing guitar book. I used to play but it's been many years since I last did. Have always said to myself that when I have more time I will take it up again. Well, it seems I have more time now. 😊 Stay safe everyone. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
