    Draggin at Toronto Motorsports Park?

    Funny thing Cayuga Speedway as it was known, isn't really anywhere near Toronto. It's south/east of Hamilton. It'd take me about 30 minutes to drive from my home to Cayuga, really funny thing is I've never once been to it, driven past it enough times.

    My new toy

    Those where a quick bike when they 1st came out and I'll wager it'll still snap your head back. I considered getting a Honda 750 ACE as my 1st bike before wife nixed the idea, we came to a suitable agreement, which was buying the convertible instead.

    Yep thats what I meant, we can't do that in Canada. Hence one of the reasons to get the darn house paid off (primary residence that is) However on our rental home its the opposite I can deduct the interest on the mortgage against the income earned on the property.

    tax refund plans

    Down paying the house. We're getting just over 2K back and will be putting it on the house. Can you guys in the states still write off the interest part of your mortgage? We can't do it up here in Canada, so it's better to pay off the house asap.
