LATELY I have been wondering what it takes to sell stuff online. I have posted vehicles and parts on kijiji and the last few years on FB Marketplace sites. Thanks to idiot governments and ‘plan-demics’, things have been less than predictable. The fact is that when you sell goods that are ‘wants’ rather than needs,… Read more »

A few years ago I took advantage of a ‘free’ google listing to help give my commercial operation Over The Hill Classic Trucks! some ‘search engine optimization’ thereby bypassing every East Indian nimrod with a cell phone who was promising top of the listing presence on google. For what it’s worth- some of the corporations… Read more »

In these days of political correctness, there are some words you just can’t use. Dropping long-standing team names because some snowflake made a squeak on social media is idiocy to me. It also strikes me that we are handing some people too much power to take things they did not earn. In this age, media… Read more »

TITS,TIRES, OR TECHNOLOGY: My brother once laid this on me shortly after his future ex-wife blew up the 400 engine in their Blazer. “If it has tits or tires- it will give you trouble.” My thinking was that he had neglected to check the oil in a good, long time.

I can’t say how long it’s been since I last posted something here.  It’s been that kind of year.  In the last few years we have been warned about some ‘pandemic’ somewhere else in the world- which didn’t amount to shit.  This one is a whole ‘nother kettle of fish.  Started in a Chinese fish… Read more »

ONCE AGAIN: F&#K OFF.  I am Canadian, we spell it LABOUR- not labor.  So, take your spell cheque- make that spell check, and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Cheekiness aside, I have to be the only one who does not like long weekends? It could be the fact that I haven’t had a… Read more »

SNOOZE- YOU LOSE.  This oft heard phrase is most often in reference to being slow off the starting line in a DRAG RACE.  There are also those moments in life where one has ‘thought about it’ for too long.  One of those times happened in the last few days. A customer came out to the… Read more »

YOU may not have to be as ‘OLD’ as me to find some of our modern day events to be much watered down, compared to the historical event that it is supposed to represent.  Case in point: the ‘Cruise Night’.  While the weekly cruise night held in RED DEER, Alberta is a great draw for… Read more »

MAYBE IT’S JUST ME:  It seems that e-bay (kijiji) and Facebook keep stats if you have a page or are a registered seller.  In particular there is the response rate or time stat.  In my case, it is a couple of days- or never. You may wonder why. YOU may have noticed I can come… Read more »
