Title: TEMAC Barbeque - May 25, 2025
Post by: Michael on May 13, 2025, 10:21:23 AM
We will be barbequing hotdogs starting around noon on Sunday, May 25, 2025.

We'll have some drinks as well, all free to TEMAC members.

This is, of course, dependent on the weather. I'll confirm on Friday May 23. *

Please respond here in this thread if you'll be joining us, so we can have an idea as to how much to buy.

* The weather forecast for Sunday is now showing some rain, with clearing in the afternoon. Hopefully it will improve. I will decide on confirming or postponing the BBQ tomorrow.

The BBQ is on!

I'll be there!....no matter the weather. 
High probability of no snow is good enough for me. ;)

Neat that Rob Pike is coming.  For those of you who have never met him, be prepared to be impressed with his personality, flying and building ability.

Now if we can only get Ben Feist* to confirm his attendance..... ;D

Should be a fun day.

Frank

ps: * Ben, bring your Sailaire, I am trying to get my 12' quarter scale DG 300 glider ready to maiden this day.  Glenn should be attending with his large glider if he gets back from out of town the day before this BBQ.

Thanks for organizing.  I'm hungry already!!  I'll be there to supervise Frank and hopefully eat 2 hot dogs.

Do you need help picking up dogs, buns, condiments, drinks, etc?  @Michael / @davidk / @marks / @octagon please let me know if I can help.

I know there is a chance of rain but there will be a 100% chance of me showing up.  I plan to be there by 10.  If Michael has to cancel the hot dog lunch for rational reasons we can always revert to Plan B*.

Frank

* pizza, Tim's, nothing.   ;)

Fun day today!
Really cool to see Glenn's "dolly" get the large gliders launched.
