  • 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!

    Monday to Friday my wife and I eat steel cut oats in the morning. Rarely eat lunch. If we do we might only eat a light supper. It is so easy to consume more than one needs.

    Physical activities…..

    I moved to my last place of employment for 2 reasons - get out of a working rut and so I could bike to work. Biked all year long including winter. Had the gym at home but somedays the ride was enough. Biking through snow and ice can be a real challenge, even with the right gear. But that's...

    Physical activities…..

    For years I had a lower back issue/pelvis??? (not a doctor) where my right hip would end up significantly higher than my left. When I was younger it would happen but rarely. As I got older it would happen more frequently. My solution was to keep moving, ignore the pain as best I could, and it...

    Thinking of contacting Klein Tools

    Tried your experiment with expected and unexpected results. The expected result was that the 1 Mohm resistor (found a nice 900+ Kohm wire wound resistor in the junk bin) would replace the impedance of the Fluke and influence the circuit in the same manner. Yes, it worked. Here's what I did...

    Appreciate your input. 4.8 stars and over 9000 reviews... And I'm having this much trouble getting a good test? Crazy. I did contact Klein Tools. Wait and see.

    Thinking of contacting Klein Tools

    Did you see in the video where I am holding the tester in my hand and after a few seconds the display changes from "OPEN GRD NEU" and "> 30V" to "000" and "OPEN HOT"? Then when I remove my hand from the device it changes back to "OPEN GRD NEU" and "> 30V". That would be an example of capacitive...

    Thinking of contacting Klein Tools

    I know there are some smart electronics people here. Thought I would see if anyone would like to try and hazard a guess as to what is going on with this Klein Tools RT250 GFCI tester. To help show what is going on I made a Youtube video (see link below). Keep in mind 4 things: (1) I am...
