Is anyone game for meeting wherever this February?
If we as a Chapter can't pull together a GTG for February then I propose that some of us start connecting on a more local basis.
I guess I'll have to assign the first official assignment to myself, I hope no-one is offended.
Should anyone want to help then please let me know.
The assignment is to create an interactive map for the chapter that hopefully FTE will give us web space to post. (TY to Pete aka 7.3 Rocket for the initial concept.)
What I intend is a map where when one mouse-overs a pin they see a pop-up of the member's FTE Forum Id and if they click on that pin then they will arrive at that member's Profile page.
The initial utility of the map is to foster neighborly gtgs as time affords itself.
I hope too that we might be able to have area GTG's based on clusters of chapter members.
At this time Saturday February 7 is out for me.

I may or may not be able to provide a shop for small, one night projects in my area. Like if someone wants to weld something up.
I'd have to check with dad and it would depend on what projects we already had in there.

Pete, thanks for looking into the use of your dad's shop.
Hmmm "...for small, one night projects..." eh Pete's Jiff*-Lub* for those unfortunate members such as me who don't have a garage to shelter themselves during Winter oil changes.

The shop has a Millermatic 221 I believe MIG welder and a Miller stick welder. Plus various grinders/cutting wheels. And hammers. Lots of hammers.
And the best part: It's HEATED.
I'll ask him when he's in a better mood though. He's a lil irritated because we put together a huge desk he bought at an auction and now he's got to clean the crap out of his old desk.

(One of these middle of the night jobs when no-one else was around.)
The former desk was one of those flimsy sheet metal desks with the chromed square tube legs and the warped drawers that wouldn't slide / close.
The replacement desk was almost an antique industrial steel desk, worthy of a battleship.
To fit that desk in, conduit had to be dismounted from the wall, so the desk could squeeze by, and the rear two stub legs had to get rotated around 180 so the desk had more overhang. There was a curb around a floor penetration, and the desk had to overhang that hole else you couldn't sit at it in a swivel chair.
With the desk in-place it was literally a shoehorn fit along its sides.
When that desk ever gets replaced I bet you the crew will chop it up in place, rather than trying to figure out how to get it out whole the way it went in.
