The DIL called first thing in the morning and said she had a ambulance ride to home. 1.5 hours later and she got bumped and she wanted to go home NOW!
The drive down was a nice cloudy day, but the drive back up was almost all in freezing rain. Used almost a whole gallon and a half of windshield washer juice. When we got home there was 1/4" of ice on the front of the Dodge, all over headlights, grille and sides of the windshield. I can just imagine what the undercarriage looks like.
That was EXACTLY what I wanted to avoid.
I see the premier of Ontario has stopped all license renewal costs for small pickups and passenger cars and is refunding the costs from March 7th 2021. This is a good thing EXCEPT that he will probably add another tax to the fuel. I think he is vote buying.
As far as stocks go, I have had good returns on my investment with BMO on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Invested $28,750.50 in Jan. 2016 and as of Dec. 2021 was worth $72,287.85. I don't think I am doing that bad.
I take 5 grand a year out of it. This is the bigger one of the two I have.
The local Shell station is charging $1.729/L for regular and diesel. $6.54/US gallon. I bought for $1.599/L $6.04/US gallon in Burks Falls...15 miles farther south, I was going right past there anyway to get to Huntsville.
