Well @Chicken lights, at least once you get out of Ontario and into Manitoba a bit the roads straighten out a lot. Not sure how far west of Edmonchuk you need to go but thankfully our recent freezing rain will be done by the time you get out here!

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!
THIS FORUM ROCKS!!!

How fat is too fat these days? We were usually allowed 1000kg when i was hauling out of the forest. Times were different back then. A few times we had to drop some logs off at the bosses house on the way to the mill. Sistonens hill was a pretty good indication. If i had to drop more than 3 gears, you knew you had to stop and toss some logs off.

Other driver is 7,000 pounds over, I’m guessing I’m 12,000 over
Now I get it, I think.... couldn't figure out what he was going on about LOL. Not sure what the other driver is about though?
