• 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.

  • 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!

    Spitfire needs work

    Springbank, outside Calgary? I was trapped there for almost two weeks when they held the G-8 summit, in Kananaskis Country(2002?), long ago! LOL. We were bored enough to start snaring gophers from their holes, and dying them different colors with Kool-Aid crystals before releasing them... Red...

    Spitfire needs work

    Not news to me, spent almost 30 years burning other people's money, fixing and fueling various military aircraft. Started out on Grumman CS2f Trackers and Lockheed T-33 Silver Stars, went on from that gig, to Moose Jaw, on the Tutor aircraft, then Bell 412's, then F-18's. From my perspective...

    Spring is Here!

    Am guessing that your 8 string bales were large square bales @1000 pounds plus. Each baler manufacturer has their own opinions as to the right number of strings to use, depending on the bale size. Larger bales are less handling, than the small squares we make here. My horse chick customers get...

    Spring is Here!

    Pretty much like @Susquatch says, cost is a factor. 30 percent bonus on teh exchange rate certainly helps! Some boils down to the ability to grow specific crops well in other areas too. Irrigation access, plays a role further. I have a flock of sheep that need feed through the winter, they get...

    Auction advice.

    Probably no reserve. But, the OP IS bidding against someone that posted a Maximum amount they were supposedly willing to pay, and when a bid under that, is submitted, the system automatically adds the next Bid Increment to THAT persons account, and tells you you have failed to outbid the high...

    Anyone using ChatGTP?

    At this point in my life, I already think that the so-called News, is mainly only fit to line a parrot cage. All this AI generated (but otherwise unmarked/unidentified) content can paint whatever picture (literally) the user wants. I have no fondness for Government oversight, but would be...

    Spitfire needs work

    Meh. I have not got the price of admission, nor would I deal with the seller if I had. Just based on his advert copy. Seems like a headache that will hemorrhage money.

    Where are the wildfires up in Canada ?

    Northern British Columbia too. Mostly fires that stayed lit through the winter, I think. https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/ Here in British Columbia we have https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/map I am reasonable sure each of the Provincial Governments keeps a similar page, though...

    Spring is Here!

    I gotta admit, that I was SO very impressed with a Kuhn rotary rake, that I finally went out and bought one. A GA300GM, fwiw. What impressed me, was the very gentle handling of the hay. Around here, we have had hay crops dry to a fragile state, in under ten hours from cut, typically a windy...

    Spring is Here!

    I know a couple guys with some custom hay rakes, used for turning the hay over to allow heavy windrows to dry evenly. Basically, they run at road speed, flat out. 35 yards of flying hay , trailing behind their rigs on the move at 20+mph. You need REALLY smooth fields to pull that stuff off. Mine...
