Picnic in the Park!

On the 14th,  we convened at Maisonneuve Park near the Insectarium for our annual BBQ in the park. Dan Kenney took the following photos of the event. Click to view full size.

Something to keep in mind for next year: While the Viau metro is the closest to the site, it involves a fairly long walk uphill, which is a bit rough in the extreme weather. If you get off at Frontenac, you can get a bus, 185, that runs along Sherbrooke and will deposit you right in front of the park.

Sunday’s weather– not good!

It’s not looking at all good for our BBQ on Sunday.

I need to confirm with Keith, but it does look like we will postpone. A shower is one thing, but being under trees in a thunder storm is quite another!

Forecast issued: 3:45 PM EDT Saturday 21 July 2018

Sun, 22 Jul Mainly cloudy. A few showers beginning in the morning. Risk of a thunderstorm. Wind becoming northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40 in the morning. High 26. Humidex 33. UV index 4 or moderate.
Night Mainly cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers. Wind east 20 km/h becoming light in the evening. Low 22.

Weather for Sunday

The 30% chance of showers seems to have morphed into a certainty. However, we can just shift the time of our picnic  from 10:00 to noon, and hope for the best.

Sun Showers ending near noon then a mix of sun and cloud. Wind becoming northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40 in the morning. High 28. Humidex 33. UV index 5 or moderate.

MonSFFun in the Park!

MonSFFA’s summer BBQ is on the 16th, and we have a special visitor planning to attend:  our WARP pen pal from Israel, Leybl Botwinik. Let’s hope we finally get a day without rain!

We usually meet under a grove of ash trees, which might not be there this year thanks to the ravages of the emerald ash borer. If you don’t see us, look more to the left under the maples.

Be sure to check email and our website for the go-ahead before you go ahead to the park!

Keith is bringing the BBQ, please bring your own food and drink, and if you can, something to share with the tribe. Be sure to invite your friends and family. The more the merrier!!

MonSFFA’s Annual BBQ

The BBQ was a great success:  the weather gods smiled, the shiny new BBQ grill worked very well, and a good time was had by all!

Hopefully, those ash trees will still be around to give us shade next year.  http://treedoctor.anr.msu.edu/ash/ashtree_id.html
