  • 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!

    Spotted a bunch of old cars last weekend.

    I think the bad guys are already otherwise occupied and the cars were being transported by the OPP to be returned to the rightful owners. Anyone who steals that many of that sort of car is not going to parade them around in public.

    Shop executor?

    Hopefully she's not planning your untimely demise, just planning in case of it. I have had the same thoughts about what to do with all my stuff having no kids to leave the burden to. I figure just having an auction to clear it out would be the simplest means of dealing with it. My wife is...

    What to drink?

    I don't think I've had that particular Laphroaig, but have sampled a few of their wares. My particular favourite scotch is Lagavulin 16 year, but the prices have really jumped up now, so I'm having it less frequently and sampling some of the more affordable Islay scotches. I do love a good smoky...
