Hi

Just a quick apology to all in the ACT and surrounding region. This week's cloud, rain and wind is due to a Televue 24mm Pano on the way from Bintel to my house... should arrive tomorrow!

As my brother always told me when I was a kid: the eyepiece is half your telescope! Good times ahead! (if it clears up....) :)

Pretty consistent rain at the moment! Not that the EP has arrived... placed the order on the weekend - you'd think Canberra wouldn't be that far to send from Sydney?? Often have parcels taking longer to here than other places... :(

That's a long way isn't :P Grant it is amazing how long stuff takes to get to us here , in saying that my new scope left Columbus Ohio last weekend and has just left Melbourne bound for Tassie so i Guess its going to be wet here this weekend go go DHL :D Hope you get your stuff soon and get clear skies, and on a final point Mel start building an Ark :rofl:

cheers

You have effected the weather here in Adelaide too. You real should think of others before you make any purchase. Just hide it away and then sneek it out when the weather gets better. That might b a while as you got a good item

I thought the rain was because I washed and polished my bike. ;)

Maybe a bit of a joint effort there Grant. :D

Got the Aus post parcel card in the letterbox... but the post office was shut by the time I got there. So I guess the rain is going to continue at least through monday night. You can't use a new EP the day you get it after all!!! :)

Hey Grant, how many EP's did you buy :question:

I've had 37mm of rain since midnight and a total of 64mm since Friday morning. :lol:

Thanks though, there's a bit more water in the tank and I won't have to water the veges or the trees for a few days. :thumbsup:

No chance, Grant.

My M-Audio MIDI keyboard arrived this morning as well. Picking it up after 4 PM from the post office.

Expect cloud and rain. : )
