I will be in Toronto for business from April 15 to 19.  Is anyone up for an IRL meeting in the evening?  I'll be staying near Carlton and Yonge, right by College Station; but could meet elsewhere.

(As with everything else in rail, this is subject to change - usually at the last minute and without warning.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Oddly enough I'll be in Niagara Falls from April 16th to 19th.  Close, but not close enough.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Sorry to miss you; but I'll probably be back.  We have a project with TTC, two with Metrolinx and we're bidding a third.  Odds are I'll be back sooner or later.

Sounds good; we can make plans as it gets closer.  I'm up for any night.

You went to UT, right?  Do you have any old haunts I should check out?

So long ago now that any haunts I had have gone the way of all things.  :D

But certainly, looking forward to meeting up.

I looked out my window and there was goddam snow.

Hopefully by April, that will have stopped.  :hmm:

We were supposed to do this test in February; fortunately if there's one thing the rail industry is good at it's delays.

(Since it's a GPS test, I tried to talk them into waiting for full leafing; but that was a no-go.)

Because if there's one thing that's enjoyable, it is outdoor testing in Toronto in February.  :D

Let me guess: testing requires standing around outside for long periods of time without moving around very much ...

It's like you read our project manager's mind.

We'll even be on rooftops this time (though only one story ones) that really would have been miserable in February.  Fortunately I have something to do on these tests.  The witnesses from the contractor and Metrolinx have nothing to do but stand around and watch me take compass readings and monitor satellites.
