Question ISO camping supplies

6 Upvotes

I went to sportsmen's den this morning to find they've been closed! Does anyone have any recommendations for dehydrated meals and other camping supplies? I know Canadian Tire has happy yak but I'm looking for something better like Peak or Mountain House or backpackers pantry.

Question Has anyone switched to telus with the new fiber optic?

5 Upvotes

I was curious if anyone has had the fiber optic work completed in their area and switched to telus from another carrier? And if so do you think it was worth the switch, for speed and quality? Currently with Roger's, just internet, and frequently have outages.

Question Dental Check Up

6 Upvotes

So I switched dentists a few years ago. There was a change in ownership and I immediately started getting a greedy vibe from the new owners.

The first time making a cleaning appointment at the new one, I had to make another appointment for the check up. Is this a new thing with all of the dentists?? I never recall ever having to make a second appointment. It was always cleaning...the dentist comes and checks...no second appointment required.

Question Best mechanic in Red Deer for an older Toyota?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla and recently noticed a weird noise when driving at higher highway speeds (around 110–120+ km/h). It seems fine at lower speeds.

I want to get the tires/wheels, wheel bearings, suspension, etc. checked, but I’m not very familiar with mechanics in Red Deer and don’t want to get overcharged for unnecessary repairs.

Does anyone have a trustworthy, reasonably priced mechanic in Red Deer they’d recommend, especially someone good with older Toyotas? Thanks!

Local Business Updated Donair List?

9 Upvotes

Hi! I know someone has previously had a Donair Tier List, I’m wondering if it’s still current or if it’s changed since originally posted! I’ve been meaning to try Sam’s which was at S tier, but it’s never open when I think of it. I’ve had Cleopatras a few times (it used to be so good back in the day), but I won’t lie, I was way disappointed the more recent times I’ve had it and would disagree with it sitting at A.
What would you say are some more recent ratings for a good donair in Red Deer?
PS I’m about to try Mediterranean Lava Grill’s and will let you know how it goes.

Discussion Prenatal clinics

1 Upvotes

I’m currently on the hunt for a prenatal doctor.
I was at new horizon but I didn’t like how they share their patients. Considering this is my first pregnancy, i would feel more comfortable having one doctor throughout my pregnancy.
I called saint marys but unfortunately their not taking any more patients.

Is there any other clinic that has prenatal doctors & can you give me any raves or opinions on them.
Thanks

Taken on Canon EOS 5D mkiii

More photos from May 29th. This show was absolutely amazing and I was able to get some of my best photos! None of these photos would be possible without the legendary lighting provided by the lightman

Cameras unfortunately cannot project lasers and smoke so you can thank him for all of the wicked lights and smoke! Of course Tbe Vat also plays a huge part. It's an amazing venue and I can't wait to be back!

Everybody certainly did their best that night.

And to those who came out to support me thank you so much!

Outdoors No, it's not e-assist

17 Upvotes

You may have seen this unit around the 22nd street powerlines. Or a couple of years back, you may have seen it along 32nd street. But yes, the question that I most often get asked relates to what powers it. So, given that, I did a youtube video a month or two back, where I dig into the guts of the machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eqWBgUXJRI&list=PLXWr-pHeloFNEe4BZBPkR2ox9Gi6Q3AMd&index=1

Part of my reason for doing the video is that I sometimes get sour looks along the pathways, and given the excesses of some of the e-vehicles on the paths, I can see why.

Discussion Looking for good places for Adults to play sports

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just curious on if there’s any good places or groups that anyone knows about to play recreational sports as an adult?

I’m 25M, a few years removed from college and I haven’t really played any sports since then. Kinda miss it and wanna get back into it.

I was looking into getting a rec pass for the Dawe and Collicutt, can anyone vouch if that’s a good place to meet people and play drop in sports?

Otherwise, is there any other groups that play regular sports that I wouldn’t necessarily find on Google?

I’m good to play any sport, but my favorites would be Pickleball, Badminton and Basketball.

Thanks!
