    Thanks.  It is pretty nice.  The tourist ad slogan is Super Natural British Columbia.  When I lived in Toronto, I was driving so much that I had to fill up my van twice a week.  In Victoria, I live right downtown, and almost everything I need is within 5 or 6 blocks of my front door.  I mostly use the van to go to Costco once every month or two, which is only 15 minutes away, or to drive out-of-province visitors around during most summers.  As a result, now I only need to fill the tank about every 4 or 5 weeks.

     

    Toronto can be really sticky hot in rte summer, so A/C is practically a necessity, while here, having the ocean on 3 sides of the South Island means that it rarely gets really hot or really cold.  The situation in the Interior of the province is quite different.  So, A/C is really rare here on the Island, even in classy hotels.  So my fuel usage is way down, my heating budget is down, my A/C budget is gone, and I'm even using super-efficient speakers, which I didn't have when I lived in TO.  We try not to tell everyone about this place, because the low population is a good part of the "secret".  The unofficial tourist slogan is Come.  Enjoy Yourself.  Then Go Home.

    Looked Victoria up on google.  Seems like pleasant weather but rarely gets to 72 degrees.  May lose my tan.  Housing a bit pricey?

    I bought a bit of Virgin Galactic stock awhile back and it took off much like the space ship😊 Yep my good.

     

    Regarding the toaster I forgot when or for what goal I offered a toaster.  Maybe one of the younger, fresher brains will recall. 

     

    As for posts in the Lounge and for this thread in particular we don't use a lot of graphs or charts, not very technical at all,  most here wouldn't know a diode from a corn chip .    We are a friendly lot though and most of us know how to mix a proper Martini😉

    Thanks Chuck. Will do!  THAT you can take to the bank!  Just busy af here right now.  My cardio dude is from Argentina and a TOTAL hoot.  Btwn us we ALWAYS come up with some new and exciting lies for the entire team he's on.  I usually come up with something insane when I'm down there.  This time he's putting in a "rechargeable" pacer.  Ya just put a charging pad on your shoulder and the pacer will wirelessly draw current recharging the pacer increasing longevity.  hahahaha  Trust me everyone on his team will bite especially the nurses.  Love my nurses!  :)

      

    For clarification Chuck's the good looking older gent.  Carl's the bald slushie maker.

    Who Here Has A 2 Track Reel To Reel Deck

    Well I am not familiar with all the decks named so you will have to tell me which ones are 2 track that do 15ips?

    My 3 Teac's are all 1/4 track and the gas pedal is to the floor at 7 1/2 ips.  The 3300 S is around 45 years old and was maintained by Kevin Kass who before retirement was a trouble shooter for Dokorder.
