I have had little time this week. Maybe 2 sessions of 10 minutes each with binoculars. See the planet and spot the moons and that is it.
hopefully I will get some clear sky this weekend.

Yes, it can be an illusive target. I find the best plan is to armed with a table of transit times for the GRS. Because it is moving so quickly (one full orbit about every nine hours) and the best opportunity for observing it is near mid transit, there is only a window of about two hours each orbit to observe the GRS. Your chances of seeing the GRS are quite low if relying on random observing times.
