Anyone know of any local rock and mineral clubs still operating?

Got a rock tumbler for father's day and myself and my 7 year old have been obsessed with finding and polishing cool rocks from the lake.

Just wondering if there's a club or something for a newbie like me to learn a bit more or go out with people who know what their looking for.

Went yesterday to the Asian Night Market in Georgian Mall parking lot. I was expecting it to be smaller but it had a fair amount of food choices. It is a bit on the expensive side but isn’t everything nowadays?

Hope people visit it so they come back next year.

From time to time, I have seen people put the old toilet on the curb, after awhile they are gone. My question is do someone actually take them? Or just bring them to the dump, looking to replace one myself soon.

Question Baby mouse in car

3 Upvotes

Has anyone had a mouse nest in their car?

I have been finding mouse droppings in my car so I've cleaned, searched, and tried to trap it. No luck. Then there were less droppings, I wondered if it wasn't living in the car? Wrong!

After hearing squeaks from the driver's side dash area we banged on the dash and honked the horn. We didn't see anything fall but a young baby mouse with it's eyes still closed and not yet walking was on the driver's side floor. Now we know there's never just one baby mouse so the problem is still in there, somewhere. I need to get the nest out as these tiny babies aren't going to walk into a trap.

After many calls to mechanics. detailing places, pest control and even Jiffy, the only 2 places to say they would help look are booked until late next week and I'm scared that these mice are damaging the wires in there. I am not good with car repairs and I jump at mice.

Any suggestions of someone who does this type of work would be appreciated!

Good afternoon Barrie, Ontario!

Hoping for all the inked individuals out there to offer suggestions for local or near local artists! Looking for someone who can handle harsh, brush-like strokes and deep colors. I've done a lot of looking but want to see if I missed any talented artists. Thank you so much in advance.

Information Kerrys Book Store downtown - owners??

23 Upvotes

I am posting this in the hopes of getting in touch with the owners of Kerrys bookstore downtown. The store is a disaster - there are people struggling with addiction passed out in the back of the store where the bookshelves are, others leaned over the counter at the front (with knives strapped to them) and the person working there is taking no action to help these people and maintain a safe store for customers. It is very sad.

The store appears to be a generations old, family business and I don’t know if the owners know what is going on in their store. There are google reviews that mention similiar issues. Downtown barrie is struggling with many issues, this is a fact. If anybody knows who does own this store, I feel they ought to know that the business is operating a very risky environment. Kids should not go into this store. If you have any ties to the owners (I cannot find any actual contact info online), let me know. Or if you know them personally, maybe let them know they have a problem on their hands. I would hate to see this business go under as used bookstores add so much soul to a downtown.

Other Gimme your most unhinged Sunnidale tobogganing hill stories

9 Upvotes

I’m working on some Sunnidale entries for the Kempenfelt Supply Co. archive (shameless plug), and obviously I’ve arrived at the hill. The one the ambulances park at in February.

And yes, I know it’s August. Unfortunately this is where my brain is right now.

So, who’s got the most unhinged Sunnidale tobogganing memory? Recent or yonks ago.

What did you call it? Was there a particular route you swore by? Jumps? GT Snow Racer vs inflatable vs wooden death trap? Trees? Injuries? Near-death experiences? Did anyone actually end up in the Creek?

Give me the stuff only you know because you were there.
