That's a fair drop Ron. I hope you're stocking up the fridge for this next deluge.

Hi All, 
Cyclone Ului stalking the coast.
A news source claims that it may cause a repeat of the '74 floods.
Did some one in SEQ buy Hubble?
Cheers Marty

Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch...or in this case until you open the box...lots of weather can come in by scope delivery time.
But I hope you are one of the lucky few who get a new Astro goody without poor weather...

Hi All,
Obviously the Hubble failed to arrive. Perhaps it fell off the transporter.
Sun is shining. Its been overcast here for weeks.
Or, Is anyone's scope order delayed?
Cheers Marty

Hi jjj,
No, sun is still shining. Maybe some one has been disappointed.
Just unbelievably bright. It will take some getting used to.
Cheers Marty
