On the infinite torus X = , using a category argument, we produce a large family of homeomorphisms such that for every element S in this family the flow (S, X) is weakly mixing and strictly ergodic. Moreover, writing Xn = {n, n + 1…} and letting Πn, m, for n<m, be the projection of Xn on Xm, S induces for every n, a homeomorphism of Xn and the extensions are isometric. We also show that, for every S in this family, (S, X) is disjoint from every purely weakly mixing flow.
