Oh yeah.. I forgot about these, thanks.

 

Here's what I'm at so far. Its a 6+ hour run so I'm setting and forgetting it.

If you guys can find me the file on thingiverse I'll run it through

Running a set of 2nd gen cup holder dividers as a final test run

@Sloweburn something like this? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:575436

@Canadianguy91 something in here ? https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=trd&dwh=605c7e79f8995bd

 

Ah, I appreciate it my dude! Spent the Saturday sitting in a truck while the infantry were hurling M203 HE rounds down range. No duds, kept me bored

 

I did a thing...
It's like someone turns on a blue dwarf star inside my truck everytime I open the doors. My bulb blew out and I had these laying around. I was looking to upgrade as I'm always looking for tools in the back of the truck. Hard enough to find them in the day with light, nevermind at night with a shitty little yellow light.

 

Didn't even realize you were in the forces! Thanks for your service.

I was going to join out of highschool but went down different avenues, still wish I did sometimes.

 

You're welcome for my service. kidding, lol there's no need to thank me

You still can, we're looking to recruit a massive amount of people in the next coming years. And there definitely is a regiment up in North Bay.

 

Thunder Bay

If they ever need someone who’s good with a chainsaw and felling trees I’ll have a degree for that in 4 years

 

BUD, thats literally my trade. Either Combat Engineer (I am) or Infantry Regiment that's tasked to be Assault Pioneers would be your best bet. Plus you can rock an absolutely barbaric beard.

 

If your poor 1st gen is shattering plastic in warm southern Ontario, wait till you get to the cold north.

Shit gets real at -40C

 

Badass man, I’ll look into it. I think there’s a Scottish regiment up there.

you can do it part time, and if its not for you you can quit. There are a ton of benefits, but talk to a recruiter for more info, then i will give you some insights haha

 

I’ll just stock up on door handles.

I have to clean my latch assembly too cause the gunk resistance probably wasn’t helping it’s cause.

Also I wouldn’t call Southern Ontario “warm” as of late. Was like -25 yesterday and the past few days have been pretty chilly.

 

Thanks man, appreciate it!

 

Trust me, -25 feels warm after you have a few days of -40 in a row. You welcome the -25 good sir.

 

I’m excited to experience it haha, but I think after a certain temperature the plastic on the door handle is indifferent to -25 or -40, it just wants to die

 

When I landed in Resolute Bay in '17



by the time I left it had reached -71 with the wind chill.
@tacoma16 would not survive

 

I always find it amazing that animals like stabby fox can survive in the crazyness.
