  • 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!

Anybody want anything from Ontario?

So where did you pick this truck up from that you ended up fueling west of Edmonton? Is this a Regina via Jasper Banff run?
If you want a town use Mayerthorpe, I don’t actually know the nearest town to where it was.
Sadly no, this is not a Jasper/Banff to Regina run. Things changed and I have to stay in Canada now, I was not planning on going around Superior but here we are

Back in Ontario

We made Dryden
 
So you already have rolled at least 1,700 km. Are you feeling better about making it home...or worse?

(Fingers crossed that everything goes OK!)

I’m feeling better about things, I think once I can get down by the Soo and Sudbury I’ll be home free.

Thanks for all the warm wishes everyone!
 
We left the Soo on Monday and sailed to Parry Sound - Missed you by a day or so Dave! Have a safe drive - glad you are making good progress :)
 
This is what it looks like this AM in Chestermere (just east of Calgary):
