Title: PLUG Mug Wed. July 29 8 pm
Post by: ssfc72 on July 26, 2020, 10:09:06 AM
Anyone interested in meeting at the Tim's on Monaghan Rd. ?

The weather forecast looks good for that evening.  The long weekend holiday is coming so it probably best to meet on Wed.
Bring your lawn chair.  I will be there at around 7:30 pm.

Yeah, I can be there. So it's 7:30 pm or 8 pm? We could sit next door in the parking lot for Michael's. I would expect it to not be that busy by the evening and those that are parking are going to be parking close the store not Timmie's.

If that's enough people, I'll see you guys there around 8 pm. I probably won't drag a chair all the way down there but there should be a good spot on the pavement. :)

You'll get run over by a motorcycle.

4:45 pm Wednesday.  The radar is showing that the current rain shower will pass by and it looks clear for 7:30 pm this evening.  See you guys, this evening.

Sadly, I won't be able to make it. I washed my shoes but they're still not dry!  :(

We had a nice meeting outside, sitting in a parking space on the south side of Tim's. Unfortunately, it was very noisy; not helped by a car that was blasting its stereo and moving in and out of the parking lot. This drove me crazy. Next time I think we should meet farther away from that parking lot; perhaps in the Petsmart lot and bit away from Monaghan Street where the motorcycles make noise.

All of you that missed it missed seeing Harry in fine form, sporting a ponytail! With that and the beard he looked like one of those motorcycle guys.

Yes, extremely loud, distorted booming noise from car stereos, cars parking next to us that left their cars running, belching out exhaust fumes and engine noise.   I still think that one young girl with the booming distorted stereo, was dealing drugs.

Next get together will be over near the Petsmart store.

Yeah, Petsmart might be a good idea although I will warn you guys that cars go through the driveway in between it and Shoppers all the time to cut through Lansdowne to Borden Avenue. But it would still be much quieter. What about the Tim Horton's downtown? Crary Park is within walking distance, the northern part near the docks. I've sat down under one of the trees even in mid-afternoon and it wasn't noisy. It's several feet lower than George Street so that probably makes it quieter.

Anyway, do you want me to host a virtual chat next week? We could do both, too. I think there are people in our group that may not be comfortable with an in-person meeting.

Yes, go ahead and do a Jitsi video group chat.   Fox and Buster can PM me if they want to do another PLUG Mug, next week, in the nearby parking lot at the Monaghan rd. Tim Hortons.
