• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    I'm not advocating for running red lights- but - I was taught in a large truck it's better to run the yellowish/slightly red light because hard braking might shift the load on the trailer, or it might put me stopped in the middle of the intersection and cause confusion

    You could (likely) use a bearing plate and puller for removal. Or some combination of puller

    Agreed. There was a police vehicle stolen somewhat recently, and someone was aghast that could happen (officer left it running to respond to something). Last I checked it was already illegal to commit grand theft auto so.... Our problem, as I see it, is lack of enforcement and a court system...

    What's the difference between the two? I tried those in Vermont last year, but you're saying Cabot makes aged cheddar also? I'll look for a Wegmans

    Try using the Canada postal code trick. Use only the numbers from your Canada zip code and add two zeros, to give you a 5 digit USA zip code

    Ahh, so "whiskey" is the umbrellla name, the other names refer to the recipe? That makes sense. I knew that about scotch, how you can't call it scotch unless it's made over there. Sort of like you can't call USA cheese, cheese, it has to be labelled a cheese product or a cheese alternative

    Does nobody teach following room any more? I'm pretty sure my geriatric shop assistant said 1 car length per every 10 miles of speed, was what he was taught

    The problem with motorcycles is when they lane split, especially in heavy traffic. I might have a mental note that there's a grey car (or whatever) beside me and then be watching the road ahead of me, but then they try to squeak by and I'm not expecting it Or, if I'm passing a truck, moved...
