Its not that I am not a Rush fan but I have thirteen years on you. Lighthouse was the big band from TO when I was in highschool. It would take two highschools together in order to foot the bill. I moved from Toronto to get away from the rate race, and to raise my children in a different environment.
I work in a small plastic shop building store fixtuers. point of purchase displays. you name it. I have a small shop on my proporty where I build furniture and such. Mind you I have slowed down on the home shop as of lately becase my wife finished university and now has a job as a teacher here in town. The need two work 24/7 stopped. I am about to start up a job for myself that I started some 15 years ago. I want to build a Rickenbacker 480. This looks like there bass but has six strings,slanted frets. I started the templates a life time ago. And as my 50th birth day is around the corner it is time to do it.
I am not aware of any moutain bike outfitters but there are several bike shops in town. But this is not something that I really know. Lots of outfitters though, snow board, kayak, camping etc.
I love living here on the island, but as any islander will tell ya life is not always easy. There realy are no huge corporations here. Fishing and forestry are always up in the air. The island is pritty much self efficient. One business suppling to another or a need. Shopping malls and grocery stores galore. Competn cane be tuff. Sign shops every where. How they make a buck is beond me.
Now here is always the response given to a Toronto phone call just to rub it in. So this morrning I played a round of nine holes,took the daughter to the slopes and then went for the Dingy Dock weekly sailboat race.
SUPERNATURAL BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Nine holes of golf, etc.

See, if you rode mountain bikes you could throw a ride
into that response also! Interesting life I must say. It's
so....like an SVX owner! I too, dabble at home...I'm a
screenprinter, while the wife teaches. I work in the AM,
and watch my boys in the PM. That Bass sounds interesting.
Ever seen Monster Garage on TV? How 'bout Monster Guitar?!
That would be interesting. Your area is world reknowned in
biking for it's extreme stunts, spaced sporadically throughout
the forest. Do you have an opinion on this? Also, what is your
opinion of the "soon to be making it's maiden voyage" fast-ferry
that will connect Toronto and Rochester? Again, just curious.
Thanks, and BTW, you aren't too old to check out the bass progression (pun intended) of Geddy Lee (from RUSH) are you?
