I just saw a patch of blue sky. If you held your thumb out at arms length, that about cover it. I dont think we can count on the star party, but I am optimistic for the swap meet and the bbq. Pork shoulder is about done and ribs went on a bit ago. Dale Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Comet ISON in the A.M.

Universe Today ran an article on the 2nd of Sept. by Bob King about seeing ISON right now. Here is the link. http://www.universetoday.com/104458/ready-set-observe-how-to-see-comet-ison… He states an excellent observer could do it in a 8 inch but for most it is a 10inch or 12 inch object right now. It would be a great way to end a night of observing this weekend! Jay

Unless its a downpour, I will be there. I will be at the pavillion, with two additional canopies if needed. As far as the meat is concerned, I will freeze it in food saver bags and usenthe pork in my next batches of beans. Dont let a bit of rain keep you from good grub. Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Hmmm, you've laid the gauntlet down now "good luck trying." :) (just a joke) Although it seems like it, c onversations on this board are not just between two people. E veryone on the board reads the posts, whether they respond or not. My response was intended for the wider audience, some of whom may have been following the thread with interest, but not a lot of expertise in the matter.
