• 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!

    Spring is Here!

    Is there a short-er-ish explanation on feed for animals? I've trucked hay from Manitoba to Ontario. Literally tons to NY, KY, FL from Ontario. What makes it more confusing is everyone calls it "hay", much like everyone calls anything bean/corn related "grain". The only explanation I've heard...

    Many years ago, a current CAF member bribed a helicopter crew to drop him on an island with an undisclosed amount of liquor. With instructions to pick him up 4 days later God bless our military

    The worst I've seen was a lifted Duramax crew long bed pulling a tandem axle bumper pull car trailer. It had to have been at least 12" or more of drop receiver. Had an OBS F350 crew 4x4 dually with a plow on the trailer.

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    I can't wait to be the old timer sitting in a rocking chair at a nursing home holding a scattergun. 2026 is looking up :D

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    I've watched enough movies to know this is a bad idea. The whole AI thing will lead to the book 1984 becoming reality, if it isn't already here. How do you know if you're watching news, AI or actual real videos now?

    A maybe future project, maybe.

    Crappy picture I had seen one the other week well off the highway, they stand out because of how unique they are. Duluth MN has a supposedly rare kind, the bridge lifts on dual posts to allow boat traffic, but I'd swear we have the same style in Welland ON (between Hamilton and Fort Erie)

    An example of what @historicalarms is talking about- Australia is expanding their machete ban. Unless you check your local machete laws you could possess an "illegal weapon". The other half of that coin is crocodile Dundee "now that's a knife!" could be called a machete , when it's not a...

    UPS gripe

    Because we have a post office in town, we don't get one at shoppers. So if you have a parcel to mail after hours you have to drive to the next town over. And if you want to access your PO Box after hours, they just give you a key to the front door.
