Bobcat S650 and one of the lift cylinders has started leaking pretty badly around the rod seal. It also doesn't seem to retract quite as smoothly as it used to, so I'm wondering if the rod might be slightly bent as well. (had some rough use over the last year taking out some rocks and stumps and it had some hard contact a couple months ago to the rod)

Can anyone recommend a reputable hydraulic cylinder repair shop locally? Ideally I'm looking for a place that can rebuild the cylinder with new seals and check whether the rod is bent

Hohner, German made in the 1950s I believe and was refurbished in 2010 by an Ontario shop.

Full piano keyboard and full bass keyboard.

Anyone have an idea where to find someone interested?

Started a TikTok for my local business about four months ago, was posting decently regularly and getting maybe 200 to 700 views per video. Then stopped posting for a bit, then used a post scheduler for a bit.

Now I'm getting literally 1, 2, 3 views and mostly zero views on the videos that I post. I'm trying to revive the channel. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not really sure where to ask this, but figured I’d throw it out here.

Earlier this year we started a cabinetry/design business in the Fredericton area, and the growth has been pretty unexpected already.

A big part of what we’ve been trying to do is make the experience feel more modern and less intimidating for homeowners; faster turnaround times, free design help, more transparency, less pressure, and generally trying to simplify a process that can feel overwhelming for a lot of people.

We’ve also been trying to build the company in a way that actually feels connected to the community instead of just running ads nonstop. Things like collaborating with other local businesses, hosting community events, and trying to build genuine relationships while growing.

The more we work on it, the more I realize there are probably a lot of interesting local startup/business stories in NB that people never hear about because the media landscape feels so fragmented now.

Problem is: I honestly have no clue who actually shares these kinds of stories anymore.

Traditional media? Independent creators? Podcasts? Local newsletters? Instagram pages? YouTube channels?

Would genuinely appreciate recommendations from anyone who knows:

• who covers local business stories well
• who people actually pay attention to in NB/Atlantic Canada
• or who would even be worth reaching out to

Not looking for free advertising, more just trying to understand the landscape and connect with the right people.

Aside from Starbucks, which opens at 5:30am on Prospect, are there any other good coffee shops you love that open between 6:00 and 7:00? I love to do some early morning work in coffee shops.

I always enjoyed keeping up with business stories on the Huddle before they stopped. What do people follow now that it is dead?
