That looks like something there. name?

The back-breaker.That looks like something there. name?
I like doing remote, so if it doesn't fit into a single back pack, it's not coming with me.I do to, but i need to be comfortable.
I used to have a full size chevy van with the full interior and 3 benches in the back. Was my work truck and daily driver in one. I'd remove the 2 back benches and would still have 7 feet remaining from the back of the van to the third bench. When we get to the campsite, take everything out the back of the van and I'd roll out the queen mattress and inflate it while it was in the van , the entire back would become 1 big bed. And the inflatable wasn't thin, about 16-18 inches in height, was as comfortable as sleeping at home. My kids used to love it, good times.
I just google inflatable sleeping pad and that was on the first page of results, $30 at walmartThat looks like something there. name?
You're hardcore, I'm like the friendly family comfortable camper.I like doing remote, so if it doesn't fit into a single back pack, it's not coming with me.
I like both, but my heart is in the woodsYou're hardcore, I'm like the friendly family comfortable camper.
Dang... reading on it, the increase has been crazy. I know covid etc but 7.2 is highDunno if it's worth a thread but the Bank of Canada announced today it won't lower the prime interest rate at this time and it likely won't happen until the summer sometime. I'm no expert but I think that's a bad thing. I think it was safe to begin lowering them before the new year.
I do this when I travel. If I go to a country for a week, I'm still just bringing a book bagI like doing remote, so if it doesn't fit into a single back pack, it's not coming with me.
I don't know if that data is accurate. As far as I know it's currently 5%.Dang... reading on it, the increase has been crazy. I know covid etc but 7.2 is high

Took that from Forbes but they did distinguish between BOC interest rate and the prime.I don't know if that data is accurate. As far as I know it's currently 5%.
To wit,
Bank of Canada holds key rate steady at five per cent
The Bank of Canada brushed off questions about rate cuts as it held its policy rate at five per cent, arguing inflation is still too high to justify lower borrowing costs.www.cp24.com
Ah, I thought it might be something like that. Yes the rate I can get for a loan at a bank is around 9%. It's ridiculous. Funny coincidence; I was speaking with someone first thing this morning about it, commenting upon the likelihood they would not reduce rates and why I thought that was a bad thing, and then just a little while ago on the noon time news they had an expert on there saying exactly the same thing.Took that from Forbes but they did distinguish between BOC interest rate and the prime.

I dont see how anyone could afford 9% with property values being what they are. Absolutely crazy times we are living bud. Hopefully it settles out soon.Ah, I thought it might be something like that.

I really hope we're wrong though because there isn't a fucking thing either of us can do about it now.
We got very lucky when we bought our house because even though we paid through the nose for it, we got locked in at a low interest rate (under 3 percent) for 7 years just before the rates started increasing.I dont see how anyone could afford 9% with property values being what they are.

Chinatown has to be mentioned if we're talking '70s movies. That's the best IMO. The Long Goodbye is another great one. Both of them together also will help you appreciate the Big Lebowski a lot more. I've never seen the Marathon Man movie, but I've read the book and I can see how it would be a great movie.Blade Runner is a truly all-time great film.
Now, here's your next revelation (I sincerely hope), Play Misty for Me. I'd also recommend Dog Day Afternoon. There was something about films of the 70's and early 80's that had a certain fine gritty and sort of dirty feel that digital recording doesn't reproduce, I think. Consider Fort Apache, the Bronx, from around the same time as Blade Runner, and TV shows like Police Story, Streets of San Francisco, and later, Hill Street Blues.
Have fun, young'un
Stake me 10 bitcoins and we can work something out.Anyone interested in a friendly BTC wager?
That's the problem. All those super inflated COVID mortgages that people got will be coming up for renewal in the next year or two and significantly higher rates. Foreclosures are already up over 200% up here, they'll probably double again in the next year.I dont see how anyone could afford 9% with property values being what they are.
