Last night was at "The Dylan Bar" where I've been going for awhile and know the owner quite well.

Below you'll see two buttermilk chicken sandwiches and a chipotle aioli chicken bites poutine:

They have more guitars than they usually do on the "currently available" page, doesn't look like any sale prices though. Not surprising, I wouldn't expect them to have any BF sales.

Rhett Shull's vids are where I first heard of Novo, I think that was a Serus J that was his first one and yes, it has P09's and sounds amazing. Then again, most youtube guitar vids sound great, probably the amp setups have a ton to do with it, not sure. But that's a very interesing guitar as well, would be my second choice after the Voltur, maybe I'll get both, who knows. ;)

I did take advantage of BF to sign up for a year of True Fire guitar, hoping to get some inspiration from there to practice. Hard to find sort through everything to find stuff suitable for me though, seems like most of the soloing lessons are intermediate to advanced, I'm more in the late beginner to intermediate stage. I know I'll find lots there for me too, it'll just take time to find it.
I've kind of passed the GAS these days, but if I was still gigging and was going to add a workhorse P90, I'd seriously look at a Yamaha RSS02T Revstar, at 1100C$ they're priced really well, and they're kind of boutique all on their own. Traditionally Yamaha instruments hold their value quite well, I have an old late 70s fg5, it's a real tank with a big voice and still rings out with a light touch.

Can anybody here recommend a parking lot close to Pearson airport?

I'm looking to park and fly. I'll be gone for a month, so I don't want to use the airport's own parking because it'll cost about $700. I'm finding places online, prices seem to be around $200. However, there seems to be a lot negative reviews.

Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance

A coworker of mine from Newfoundland mentioned this place on a team call yesterday.

I was able to snag a 12 pack mix of sauces and rubs for 20% off plus free shipping. I also got an additional 10% off as a first time buyer.

Check out their site!:

I discovered this place a few months ago, their hot sauces are pretty good. One of their big hits apparently is their mustard/pickle hot sauce, didn't do anything for me but my stepson loes it! I like the other ones I've tried though. Only criticism would be that their heat ratings/scale is confusing as heck, I still don't understand it. I quite like the one called "Maritimes Madness", anything less than that on their heat scale would be too mild for me.

I tried one of the BBQ sauces as well, it was good but seemed a bit pricey though. The hot sauces seem like good value, free delivery if you order more than 50 dollars worth or whatever.

I will definitely order from them again, next time I will try all 3 items on their "Really Hot Stuff" menu, I thought they might be too hot but I really don't think so anymore.

That's awesome and appreciate your feedback!

I went 8 sauces and 4 dry rubs as well just to change it up.

Let me know how you like the dry rubs please. I hardly ever use dry rubs myself (not much of a cook really) but if they're good, I'll order something next time. It's just me at our place who likes hot sauce so pointless for me to order more than 3 hot sauces or so and I'd like to order something else to get the total up to the free delivery threshold.

Did you order anything from the "Really Hot" menu. If so, I'd be curious how you like those as well. Cheers!

I will keep you posted on the dry rubs for sure. I didn't order anything from the "Really Hot" menu as my family would be terrified even though I love the heat.:laugh:
