nope. In fact they took away almost all the recycling centres around town and combined them into just three locations.

Last weekends haul to my parents acreage.  The boys had a blast.

Last ride of the season (probably). The bike's only 250 lbs, full of gas, so not a big deal for the truck.

It's a POS Miranda and all 3 latch locks are practically seized and it was brand new in July.  Outside grab handles are starting to rust already, so got to replace them with stainless, or aluminum...:censor: junk!   >:(

Last weekend I used the truck to bring home a 1/2 cubic yard of sand for the kids sandbox.  They had a ball using their dump trucks to unload it down the slide.  Progress however, was quite slow. I really need to hire better help.

^ Awesome, great to see that :)

I actually used my truck as a "truck" last weekend. This was with 1200lbs of pavers and 10 bags of screening. Surprisingly it didn't even sink that low in the rear. Drove all the way home from Oakville like that without bottoming out too.
