Yes, there will be an non-rtlToronto dinner this Friday at the place that
previously hosted the rtlToronto dinners..
I'll just cut 'n paste from the previous e-mail because I'm lazy today--
I should be there, probably with the missus and our son.
We'll probably stop off at the lego store at sherway first to buy stuff...
And then, probably a little before 7, we'll arrive here--
Swiss Chalet -
Dundas St Etobicoke

This is not an rtl dinner, it's just a bunch of friends hanging out...

It'll be verry, verry scary, boys and girls!!!
For I will be there!!! (muahahahahahaaaaaaaaa....)
To make it scarier, there is a rumour that Jeff vW will be there!
I'm also bringing a very small stack of dark bley train track that I'll give to
anyone who wants it just to get it out of my basement.
Some of the bley has powered rails :)
Anyway, I'm having a burger at Swiss Chalet around 7 p.m. tonite, and if others
want to come and talk about stuff such as lego or something...
We don't have to call it an rtlToronto (1) thing, just some friends hanging out
talking about our favourite hobby (well, it's mine--we can talk about if it's
yours :) )

1 - because I'm not taking over rtlT. I wasnt' there at the start, and rtlT
will always be 'the baby' of the C & C (2) show--two people I'll always respect
and admire wrt this chosen hobby of ours...
2 - I was cleaning up my lego room and I came across some train motors that were
DCC enabled and they have a CDP(tm) (3) sticker on them designating stuff that
we thought was important at the time and I had a fond reminiscence of how
wonderful the past times were in rtlT and how utterly fantastic it was just
being around y'all
3 - Calum Designed and Produced (4)
4 - Yeah, there may have been some over production and pendantitry going on over
the course of rtlT back in teh day, but it was all worth it, man! ALL. OF. IT!
(read the threads here and just let the sheer awesomeness wash over you....(5))
5 - this is NOT saying that there wasn't awesomeness in other parts of
LUGNET--I'm shaking my fist in your general direction over there! You know who
you are... (6)
6 - Maybe I'll peruse some OT-D just for old timeys (7) sake
7 - it's Dot Commmmmmmmmmmmm......

We made it to the Lego Store and then stopped by Swiss Chalet to see if there
were anyone there. Alas there was no one that showed up. :(
So the missus and I went to five guys near by and got patty melts... as in
Grill Cheese with hamburger patties. Very Good.
The guy at the Lego store swore up and down that the $35 had to be Ninjago
product to get the freebie giveaway.
So I had to make a call after I verified with calendar that it wasn't specific
product. So we received them after the fact.
No Thanks associate from the Lego Store (sherway). Thank you to the Lego
Customer Service.

we made it. Traffic was a bit heavy and also we made a mandatory stop at
the Lego Brand Retail store (Sherway).

I'll be doing a small (5' x 6') LEGO town/train display at Scott Manor house in
Bedford from Monday July 17 through Sunday July 23. My display will be open to
the public daily from 1 pm to 4 pm, and Tuesday from 1 until 8 pm.
I've been busy trying to build some Bedford themed stuff, including the Scott
Manor House, Chickenburger, Esquire Restaurant, Battered Fish, and the large
100+ year old rhodie by Prince Edward Estates.

Superstore is tax free today, Saturday June 17. The one on Joe Howe in Halifax
also has about 1/3 of their LEGO with yellow shelf tags, mostly about 20% off.
This included some 2017 sets as well as some older Star Wars, Nexo Knights,
Friends and City sets.
Not all Superstores have a toy section.

I hope this is in the right area. I'm not ready to sell my collection just yet
but I wanted to find out if anyone knows where I should go.
My collection is over 2000 lbs of Lego, so even at a reasonable price, we're
talking in the five figure range. Is there a place where I could list that in
one lump and not have it be a complete waste of time?
I have a number of friends who would love to take my collection off my hands but
none of them has that kind of money laying around. I also thought about selling
it to someplace like a school or a children's hospital but I've been told that
that is a dead end too.
I guess I could sell it off bit by bit and in lots, but that seems to me like it
would take a lot of time and effort. Anyone have any ideas?

I, and my family, will be gracing this dinner with our presence.
I know that most of you out there in the listening audience are stunned
profoundly by this revelation, but yes, indeed, we will be at dinner this fine
May evening...
I may or may not be bringing my ferry. Yes I said ferry.
Did you know that my ferry is just 1 year younger than me. Somehow this fits
into the beauty and wonder of things that I appreciate.
This is what I may or may not be bringing for show and tell--
It’s longer than a shoe box, but not wider, so.... meh....

Good morning
We are using a total of 12 lego rcx sets to practice in an educational center.
We are using the nqc language with these robots. We use 2 types of firmware: on
the one hand the firm0328.lgo, sometimes the firm0332.lgo, ie RCX2, and also the
fast0103.lgo. I have not managed to work with nqc correctly a higher version of
the firmware created by Dick Swan. Why do not we always use the Swan despite its
advantages? Because we have a problem with communication between rcx. We managed
to maintain unidirectional communication between 2 RCX2 and from Swan to RCX2.
Also bidirectional between 2 RCX2. What we can not do is that Swan gets
messages. Really, what we can not do is to get a second message. The first
message is received, but then no longer receives more, even if we stop the
program with the "run" key. We can only stop it by pressing the "on / off" key
and then turning it back on. Each time you receive a message, this appears on
the screen with the transmission points, but the rcx with Swan does not seem to
react. We have tried to place waiting times between receptions but it does not
seem to work.
For a while we have given up on robots with 2 rcx to work with 6 sensors
simultaneously, or we have to work with 6 sensors, but giving up the advantages
of the Swan firmware.
But now I was determined to take up this issue, because I think that
communication between 2 Swan, by now, must be more than proven, and as I have
not seen anyone comment on this problem, it must be that we are doing something
wrong.
I know this material is discontinued and there is less and less information on
the web, but if there is still someone out there using it, could anyone tell us
if receiving several messages by a Swan can be obtained, and if you have some
example of a simple program?
Perhaps it can influence in this the fact of having several tasks running
simultaneously so that the messages do not work?

I'll have a 6' by 14' layout at the VIA station in Halifax this Saturday, April
29th, 9 am to 4 pm. Admission is free, but parking can be problematic,
There will be first responders (fire, ambulance), a VIA train, and other layouts
and booths, including Operation Lifesaver. It is a cool event for kids and rail
fans.
I'd hoped to do another display at the Halifax Central Library this summer, but
the only space they offered me is very near the coffee shop on the main level.
As I have a sensitivity to coffee odours (throat swells shut after awhile), this
wasn't acceptable.
