So several months ago @GerryinBelleRiver put up a sexy positioner for sale and I bought it. I live in Ontario but no where near Gerry. @Susquatch let’s me know that he is heading to see Gerry and can pick it up for me and get it a bit up the road! Sweet says I and Gerry gets some cash from me and John gets a visit with Gerry. The Positioner is getting closer.

I get a note from @Susquatch that there is a possibility the positioner could be re-positioned as he has a meet up with Super Dave (@Chicken lights ). Well, says I, that would be cool as I am planning to see David in February to pick up a rotisserie for the car project - excellent- a text and then a phone call to Dave - well says David, I have this contract and it takes me to Alberta but first I have a pick up in North Bay - got any one that can meet me on the highway - this thing is heavy!!? Well, hell yes!!! A quick phone call to my son who is right close and an exchange in numbers and Vilola!!!!! A few hours ago a very sweet looking Positioner is in my shop!!!!! Ya Baby!!!!

Glad to have played a small role. This is a fantastic group of people and I am lucky to know them and have the odd chance to help out when and where I can.

Cool! I'll volunteer to be the guy at the back of the class. How/where is it used?

I'll let @Brent H or someone else more knowledgeable than I answer that question.

All I can tell you is that you need an overhead crane to move that thing. It's elegant refined looks are very deceiving. But in reality it weighs enough to cause localized natural gas leaks......
 
Yes it does, and I will jump in with a thank you as well to Historicalarms, a complete stranger to me outside of the forum who offered to pick up a shaper vise and hold it for me while I sorted out it's travel visa. It took very little convincing, and he broke it down into three packages and mailed it out to me.
So, ya, not only does it Rock, it's good old Canadian Rock!

I just sit there and hold the steering wheel straight ;)

Quick story- mechanic friend asked me to pick him up a motor from a wrecking yard last week. I was doing rounders from Montreal to home no big deal, threw it on the deck, dropped it off. He says hang on I’ll get you some money, I fired up the truck said I don’t have time to waste it’s cold we gots to go. He says but I need to pay you I said what can’t hear you trucks running. Grabbed gears and left. Moral of the story help the good guys in life when you can is what I figure

But what do I know
 
@YYCHM : Hey Craig we are in the final days of Siberia here in Thunder Bay (the Poe Locks (haha) close on the 15th. We are awaiting the last of the tie ups for the winter. We bust out the ice in the harbour and around all the docking facilities for the big ships. The local tugs do the escorts into the docks. Typically the ships come up, tie up, off load and then sleep till spring break up. Many of the Lakers will take that time to have work completed, safety inspections, overhauls of engines, tank repairs, conveyor repairs etc.

After that is it a sail across Gitche Gumee in probably 3 to 5 meter seas - I will try and get some video of that to get y'all sick - if it happens - hopefully smooth going....

And then it is off to Sarnia ASAP for ice ops in the river system and keeping Goderich ready to deliver salt. The ship will run the St Clair river, Lake St Clair and Detroit River to Lake Erie escorting winter running ships and doing flood control for areas like the Thames river mouth. We also make runs across Erie to Cleveland or to Toledo or to Nanticoke escorting ships through the ice and keeping vessel traffic running. I have posted lots on this before - but in a booming time we can keep a few billion dollars in cargo running through the winter.

Had fun today welding up fractured oil pipes on an engine. - Put on my super suit - LOL - hopefully things hold :eek:

I get accused of that often :D

Hwy 11 was closed in four spots today, from accidents. So we chose to take 17. I’ll fight some turns tomorrow in the Soo but arguably that’s better than fighting temporary detours in small towns on 11

What does fight some turns mean?
