• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • 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!

I woke up this morning around 4:30am, as usual. Didn't sleep very well, as usual. And ready to start the work day. Until I realized, hey, I'm in Belize!!

Hmm, were you in Belize when you went to sleep? Well a few days ago " nearly" like Belize, here. Then suddenly snow, rain, hail and a light 60 mph wind.
Ah, would be nice, however got a big white beast here to take care of. Whoops, sorry Susquatch. This ones a 4 legger.
 
You picked a bad time to go South @thestelster ! Here in Southern Ontario it has been drop dead gorgeous all week with temps over 70 and not a cloud in the sky! Even the turtles in the pond have woken from hibernation and are sunning themselves on the logs. No palm trees though.....
 
First vacation for me in 7 years. So it's pretty nice knowing that I can't do any work, or chores, or deal with customers. Wake up whenever; go to sleep whenever; eat whenever!

Our typical day is: wake up, coffee, ride our bikes to the beach (we found a secluded beach 20 minute bike ride from our cabana), sun tan and swim for several hours, go back, have lunch, walk around, have dinner, walk around, sit on the balcony have a couple beer, sleep.

Not so bad. I really needed the decompression.

Yes, it's good to take a break and go somewhere different and see how others live and work. It can be an eye opener. Sometimes realize we over complacent things a lot.

I tried posting a short video we took. Its an MP4, it wouldn't allow it, and then it noted that Facebook links was acceptable.

It would be so much easier for us to post a video of machining techniques directly from our phones, like we do photos, instead of spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to post.
