A lurker's intro

I've been lurking here for a while so making a belated intro. I'm a long retired computer geek living in Cobourg, ON (about 100km east of Toronto on Lake Ontario). Hobbies include cooking/eating, electronics, local politics and of course most anything machine shop related. Workshop toys include Tormach 770-3 CNC mill, Myford S7, KO Lee T&C grinder, 7x12 horizontal bandsaw and...
welcome from the 100 km west of you.

cooking is a hobby of mine, because eating is a requirement for my hardware.

I hope you use the KO Lee T&C grinder often. I have been looking for one without success so far. I look forward to seeing more of your posts

Currently TSME meets via Zoom twice a month. Pre-COVID they met at the Don Mills library but it is closed for renovations. Zoom has really enabled things. I mostly stopped attending when I moved to here from Toronto but I now participate in most meetings and we even have members in New Brunswick and BC. I don't make models but there are some talented members in TSME and I have lots to learn from them.
Oh I should have checked into their post pandemic activities... I can do the online thing. I went many years ago a few times and always intended to return when I got a better shop and did more modeling

Welcome from Southern Alberta. It sounds like you have a nice mix of hobbies (except for the politics part;)) and will fit in well around here. Nice to have you.
