  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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 like the reliability and simpleness of the old ones but I also want the safety features of the new ones.

    Could be worse....I'm expecting more detail on my engine and transmission control module flags that I got with my old code reader...when I get my new code reader. I'm pretty sure it is going to say "don't worry about these things, erase codes and drive on" .

    MT3 COLLET SET

    Yes I wish I had. No money for such things nowadays. Should be an easy sell tho as MT3 is pretty common on smaller older lathes

    Ya and it can get much more confusing and complicated than your scenario when you throw in actual active ingredients per acre with all of the above. The US gallon thing has always annoyed me.

    Well actually... It goes centimeter, then decimeter, then meter. Metric is not odd numbers it is always even, that why it makes sense. It is based on powers of 10 and has standardized units. 1 metric tonne is 1000kg 2200 lbs in 1 tonne ....so maybe it's the imperial system that's always odd?

    With small fields you might be able to time some of your field operations specifically for the particular area/soil characteristics but realistically some operations like seeding it probably won't be possible to have multiple timings to account for that variability in soil types. In that case...

    Rain in Edmonton

    Yes that's a different matter than what we have. What you are describing are hard pan soils which heavy clay and silt contribute to but are not the sole cause of. Like you say they can be inpenatrateble by water and many crop roots. Proper (and not frequent) deep tillage can often break...

    Much of our ground here is also dominately clay but our precipitation is usually not excessive throughout the growing season so it benefits us more than harms us. When the rains is in large quantities (like recently) the clay soil absorbs the moisture like a sponge...and like money in a bank...
