Jeez Adam, you can't let a little thing like that stop you. Put off the house-moving till January. Where are your priorities?

"She Who Must be Obeyed" has stamped my leave of absence papers. I'm all set for Sat 19th now. Looking forward to one last get together for the year.

I'd love to get there 19/12 - thanks again for your 10 Chain hospitality. I'll see if I can get it sorted....

I'll not be able to make it folks.
I will be setting up in my back yard though, so I'll be with you all in spirit at least.

Hi Adrian. Not sure about January. It begins a bad few months for me with my Uni work. So I'm keeping my options a bit open after this weekend. Should be back to normal by about April though.

Good to hear you're up to your proverbials in work. Sorry to hear that we'll miss your company this Saturday though. I'm not sure how we'll go in Jan/Feb/March next year with heaps of pressure form my own work.

Don't believe the forcasters mate. Besides, if the weather is rubbish, there is always the 10Chain Xmas greetings to be exchanged.

G'day JJ. Slow getting back to you. Now 2.30 and I gave up on the Antennas and switched to the Sombrero instead. SO far so good. Bit of dew and actually getting cool. Nice!!

I've packed up and am inside away from the mozzies.
Just doing a quick process of Eta Carina just to see how it looks.
I'll do a proper job on it tomorrow, maybe.
