Re: Vancouver Island
Thanks. I don't know much about Port Alberni but it's definitely a convenient place to stop on the way to Tofino. RC helicopters. Sounds expensive ...

Re: Vancouver Island
Thanks. I just about got stranded in Regina a couple of weeks ago due to snow (Air Canada cancelled a bunch of departing flights but I was able to get on a WestJet flight that circled a couple of times and finally landed) ... no offense to Saskatchewan but I wanted to get home. I've been to Regina and Saskatchewan a few times for work and went through Estevan about 25 years ago on my way back from a trip to Toronto - don't recall a whole lot about Estevan but i'm guessing there's a bit of grain around (although I confess I might be stereotyping that whole prairie thing).

Re: Vancouver Island
Thanks for the welcome Glenn. I've never been to NB, assuming that is where you are from. The closest I got was Halifax last year a for a day (fly in and fly out same day so I didn't see much).
What mill and lathe do you have? I am hoping to get some time in December to play with mine again. Ever since I installed my DRO I haven't had time to do anything with them. Richard |

Re: Vancouver Island
Welcome Michael. Who knew there were so many local guys. I used to work in various pulp mills on shutdowns. Now, I mainly work a desk and computer. One day, someone will have to organize a BC get together, with an invite to our Pacific Northwest US friends. I say we have it on the island and not in Surrey, no offence to Surrey intended.
