Any driving you do will be in 25 cm of snow… ---

[QUOTE=Barbarian] Any driving you do will be in 25 cm of snow… [/QUOTE] Yeah, good point. I am slightly put off by that, but not too much. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Eonwe] How long does it take to get there from Montreal? Actually, I’ll be driving from [Bishops University](http://www.ubishops.ca/) in Lennoxville. Anyone know how far that is from Montreal? That’d be good to know, too! 🙂 [/QUOTE] Depending on the weather, about 1h30 to 2h from Lennoxville to Montreal. To the sugar shack from Montreal, about 45 mn, but check a map, you may not need to come all the way to Montreal, before being able to turn to go to the sugar shack. ---

In lieu of actually making it up to Quebec, I made Maple-Glazed salmon for dinner tonight. Very nice, if I do say so myself. ---

Ugh, I can’t go to the sugaring-off, but I will be there on Saturday night and around for anything anyone might like to do on Sunday. 🙂 ---

My regrets, but due to the worsening weather and unexpected family committments, I won’t be able to make it. ---

So, I’m watching the weather, but assuming it doesn’t get any worse, I’m still planning on being there. Who all will be attending at this point? I’m bringing four, including myself. ---

Montreal is a bit much for me. Calgary or Vancouver, we’ll talk. ---

Dang it! I just made it to Lennoxville after 3.5 hours (1.5 hours longer than it normally does), and I imagine Montreal will be a good four-ish hours. Sadly, I think I’ll have to pass on today. ☹ ---

OK, we just came back (litterally) from the sugar shack. So, I guess we will just have to call it off for this year ☹ ---

Maf and me were the only one at the sugar shack and I was the only one at the restaurant last night, so I feel a little bit off. ---

Oh no! I am so sorry about that, if I had been able to go today I really would have. Looks like it was just bad timing mixed with bad weather. Figures **matt** would be busy with campaign stuff, **Eonwe** would be buried in snow, and **Helen’s Eidolon** only JUST went back to the U.S. Let’s not give up on having a Summertime Dopefest. If you want me to help you wrangle people to make it happen, I will. And there won’t be any winter driving! ---

Fuck, I knew I forgot about something this weekend! I’ve had this nagging feeling all week that I was supposed to do something…! i knew I couldn’t go for weekday activities, because of work, and I just forgot that there was anything last night! Well, FWIW, a couple of friends and I are going to probably hit Crescent Street tonight, see if we can find a corner in a pub and drink it up. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know which pub we’re going to… but I’m wearing a purple top and jeans! (I don’t actually have anything decent looking in green!) So… see you there! 😉 I am up for a summer thing… as long as it’s not July 21st…! I really do want to meet some of you Montreal Dopers! ---

Dammit! I was looking forward to a pint on my dinner hour. Ah well. If it’s any consolation, MrsB and the Horlding went to a sugar shack today without me. Hope you had fun! ---
