I'm afraid I will not be in attendance.
Fingers crossed on the weather but I'm hoping to be airborne early Saturday am.

Circuit check at 10:00. Hopefully flight out east afterwards.

I will wave .

If anyone wants to comment that 10 isn't early, I need to allow a decent amount of time in case the plane wasn't in the hangar overnight.

That's fair. As you enter the Library you can fondle your ear, or some other part of the anatomy if that's any bigger.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Default Re: Christmas Shingdig in Toronto :

Apologies for being flakey but I don't think I'm going to make it down.

The thought of a two hr plus drive to drink no alcohol to drive back up tomorrow is too much. I just want to sleep although tbf on a pa day there is fat chance of that either. I was hoping to get a family trip going for the weekend ie my husband doing the driving but kids are in ski camp and various activities meant it was impossible.

Have fun!!!! I will make it down when normal drinking duties resume and I'm desperate to escape three children

Not in this weather....

Schedule looks all clear for tonight and no need to park and leave the car overnight!

Sod TTC, I'm taking GO from Exhibition to Union. Too cold to faff around too much, regardless of the warming qualities of beer. Looking at probably 16:30 from Ex, so probably be at pub round about 5 ish.

BOOOOOOOOO. SAD TIMES!!! I'm not drinking either (DD) but at least my trip in is 45 minutes on the train which is pretty tolerable. Please to be changing your mind!

Definitely a good call. If I'm having a super slow day I'll try to get the 4:04 out of Clarkson, which I think puts me on the same train as you. Failing that I'll get the 4:34 out of Clarkson, so should be at the pub by 5:30 in either case.
