I think we're going to chicken out on the Star-B-Que, unless the weather improves dramatically over what's expected. -- Joe ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 11:34 AM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Saturday at SPOC The weather forecast continues to deteriorate for the Star-b-que/swap meet/star party on Saturday. Harmons tomorrow night is looking even less likely. My wife and I are planning to drive out for the big feed and swap meet at SPOC, but we have to get up early on Sunday morning so can't stay for the star party even if there's a break in the weather. I'll have a number of ATM items for the swap meet, including focusers, optics & possibly a few mirror blanks. Maybe some other odds and ends if I can find the time to dig them out of storage. My disclaimer is that if it is actually raining when it's time to leave the house, I'm staying home. Just clouds, and I'll probably drive out and hope for at least a couple of hours of dry socializing. Somebody pray to the weather gods. Or go paint a pictograph of a shaman imploring the sun & stars to return. I watched an amazing lightning display over the mountains east of Farmington early this morning. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
