Gas is on the rise. 20 cent increase in 2 weeks and still climbing.
Metro Vancouver gas prices hit $1.50 per litre, nearing all-time record - British Columbia - CBC News
Even my scooter will be pricey to fill....91 gas normally is 20 cents more then regular. I bet it gets to 12/ week by summer for the scooter.
Scooter was a good idea.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I am going to try for the M license this spring/summer.
I didnt want to invest much last summer as I wanted to see if it was a viable year round mode of transport and for the most part it is.
A couple of days where I had to use a car share.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
says he was contacted by a city official about an unusually high quarterly bill in October 2016.
It does sound very extreme though. When I had my duplex I got a call from the water company telling me that there was currently an increased use of water suggesting a leak or worse over the last few days. They obviously "caught" it quicker than for this guy.
I don't remember details now but it suggested the bill might go very much higher if not checked.
I checked with the tenants...nothing inside and my handyman went over. Apparently someone had turned on the outside tap and not turned it off. No visible water as there was snow and the attached hose was under snow.
The water company had a policy of offering a credit in such a situation and the credit meant I didn't have to pay more than about $50 extra.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Microsoft Surface 3 (warranty expired last year)
I Had a issue after my last update, frozen screen on start up Duh !! So I took me a drive to Yorkdale and visited the nice people at Microsoft
2 hours later after having a nice lunch and looking at stuff we can’t afford in Jimmy choo and Chanel we returned
I asked if they would be able to format it and make it like new, all was done, fixed and like new again and all for free, no charge.....that’s great service IMO
