    I think the real concern was moving, and maybe having to deliver a 0 day old baby en route [noparse][[/noparse]8^)

    mctrivia,
    Very good work on all your multiple propeller chip boards.
    I have an Air Canada flight booked from Ottawa, Canada to San Francisco, USA for the June 2009 Propeller expo.
    See you there.

    thanks both the prop mod and prop galore are doing well and I hope to have both there.

    I am trying to find an adorable flight myself. does not help that I may be moving to brandon manitoba.

    I have 100 propmod on the way at the prices I can find would have to sell everyone just to pay for the ride home. I have enough to get there

    I'm working on a Ham radio related product using the Prop. Hope to have it start to hit the market in a month or so.

    Always wondering what is inside the PropMod except of course the Prop. Just a hobbyist...built my propdemo version out of PE kit parts and moved on using / modified Phildapill's board.

    Well so far we are missing the teritorie, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, PEI, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba


    the propmod has all the essentials on one little package that can be througn into any of your products:

    prop, crystal, eeprom, programing head, bypass caps, and 3.9v Zener over voltage protection

    unsecure 1x1 is tiny and has no extra options.
    unsecure full size has optional: uSD card reader, buck/boost power supply
    full size secure version has the fusable security system and optional: uSD card reader, real time clock

    How about a Canadian Propfest? I would like to suggest Kitchener?Waterloo as the site, and having it coincide with Octoberfest as the time. Good fun, good food, good beer, party atmosphere, and the prop. What more could one ask for?

    I'm game. How about we pick a day and get together with anyone else who is interested even if it is just coffee at Tim Horton's to start. Say two weeks from next Saturday (May 30) at the one on Homer Watson Blvd. just north of the 401 in Cambridge.

    Anyone interested can post to this thread.

    Do you have a more exact address for that Tim Hortons?

    What sort of time were you thinking? My son may have a baseball practice on a Saturday...

    I was born in Nova Scotia, moved to Sudbury, Ontario, then Fort McMurray, Alberta, then Calgary, then Vancouver, British Columbia. Now I live near San Francisco, California. I keep moving west & south, so I guess Hawaii is next. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Fort McMurray is north of almost everything too, but I meant the overall trend. I actually spent the bulk of my life in Fort McMurray and Vancouver. The other spots were relatively short lived, but yeah, I've moved around a bunch.

    I was thinking of this one ( 2420 Homer Watson Boulevard, Kitchener, ON N2P 2R6‎ - (519) 893-8488‎ ) since it is close to the highway. As for time, I didn't have any specific time in mind. Late morning or early afternoon maybe.

    Does 3pm at the Tim Hortons on Homer Watson work for you?

    Is anybody else interested in joining us? It is RIGHT beside the highway, it should be really easy to get to...

    Saturday May 30, 3:00 PM, the Tim Hortons at 2420 Homer Watson Boulevard, Kitchener, ON it is. See you there.

    For anyone else that wants to join us please feel free to do so.

    Take 401 to exit 275 (Homer Watson Blvd./Fountain St.) Turn right from the ramp if you were coming from the Toronto side, left from the other direction.
