Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

Buddy of mine from town changed a propane bottle on his travel trailer just before a trip couple years ago. Forgot to tighten the hold down clamp. With wife & 3 small kids in truck headed down the highway....20 miles into his trip another motorist cut in front of him and forced him into a stop. One of the two tanks had dislodged and was jammed under the front trailer axle , grinding along and spraying sparks everywhere according to the other motorist. It must have just happened as those tanks are very thin-walled and it never ground through. The hose had broke but the bottle valves where closed luckily.
