Yep all lined up at the starting gate just hope we don't have to call on "T Chase" amateur psychic" to deal with the forecast weather pattern.
Got some serious stuff to do

It's not looking good for me, I'm afraid. Haven't finished rebuilding the dob base, and as I'm working in Shepparton Tuesday and Wednesday, I won't have much time to spare before Friday....may have to make the May meeting my target

Keep an eye on the weather.

Forecast for here is a Clearing Shower (whatever that means )

Forecast for tomorrow night is still warm with a Clearing shower, whatever that means.

Time will tell I guess. Last night was looking terrible but ended up fantastic until about 2:30 am.

Would really love to try and get there to test out my new 7D but I'm coaching the boys 1st game back for Winter season indoor soccer tonight and have a friend down from QLD. Also have to baby sit the kids cause the Mrs is out tonight. But you never Know, if their all keen I might try and drag the lot of us up there and make a night of it.

I cannae make it captain!

Besides, Martin sold all my camera gear

Jen - I got myself Prince tickets too but I'm afraid all I could afford was the nose bleed section - you've done well to get down the front. We'll be partying like it's 1999!

Have a great night guys

Looks like it will be a quiet night tonight but it also looks like it's clearing up a bit.
Having said that if it closes over again I will most likely be staying home as well but fingers crossed as i have some different setups I want to try out so pretty please stay clear for us

B there around 2030 - blazing headlights. Looks like it's been clearing nicely. Last time I said that it was cloudy all night.
