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've been off line so slow replying. We were without power for 24 hrs and I spent the last couple of days cleaning up.
We made out much better than some folks, we lost 5 pretty good size spruce trees from around the property, one 75 ft high and I still have to count the rings. Broke off 6 ft up but thankfully fell away from the house. Lots of work and a bit of saw maintenance sorting those out. I still have a couple of leaners to bring all the way down.
No damage other than that but lots of shredded leaves around the yard and stuck to the house to clean up.
We were lucky we weren't were more in the path. You have to feel for the folks in Cape Breton & Newfoundland, especially those right on the shore.
