LOL, that just places a cloud over your little corner of the OBI.

I'm sitting here listening to the rain on my roof and smiling at how desperate we all sound..........

The glass is half full and it will be clear Saturday.

(Though not very much I think it doesn't sound like a mozzie anymore or maybe I'm going deaf??? )

Hopefully will be there Ron, to give everybody's earwax a good rattling.

If I'm not there 'Have FUN'

PS. Yes I have gone completely nuts.

I gather your getting bored with school holidays Chris

I had visitors coming this weekend but they have had to cancel

So weather permitting there will be some observing done this coming weekend

Is't anyone interested in this coming weekend, it carn' be because of the moon, because it doesn' rise till after midnight and most of you have gone home by then anyway

I can't make it this weekend Ron, working graveyard shift again next 4 nights - wish I DID have 2 weekends off in a row!!!!

Will see you on the 9th though as planned...

drmorbius (Randall) · #28 01-02-2008, 08:31 AM

Aarrgghh! Since I wasn't going observing, the boss booked me for another commitment...

Thanks Ron for the offer, I don't like my chances but I'll see if I can wiggle out of it

.

I'll ring you first if I'm allowed out .

I've just been informed that the long awaited Gstar-Ex workshop will be held on the 9th.
Sorry Ron.
See you all next time.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #32 03-02-2008, 10:03 AM

That's a shame Jeanette, I've heard that the predicted seeing over Ron's that night is going to be a record 11/10 and transparency down to 0.0000000000001% extinction. We'll let you know what it's like.

Xeelee (Chris) · #33 05-02-2008, 07:21 PM

Is the ground nice and soggy Ron?

Judging by the rain we've had here you the soil should be nearing Weet-Bix consistency.

[1ponders] (Paul) · #34 05-02-2008, 08:01 PM

It is buhucketing down atm. I can hardly see the shed out the back door and the shed is only 20 feet (6.096m for you younguns

) away.

davewaldo · #35 05-02-2008, 08:09 PM

Unfortunatly its looking like I won't be able to make it. Unknown to me my wife has invited guests over for dinner. Oh well....

Can't wait till next time! Hope you all get clear skies!

Dave.

Gargoyle Steve called in today and got bogged in his 4x4

had to use his winch to extract himself

My Camera wouldn;t work when I needed it

Hopefully it will dry up a bit by Saturday

By the way I carn't get out at the moment as the creek is up ,but if we don't get anymore rain it will be down ina couple of hours

[1ponders] (Paul) · #37 06-02-2008, 07:47 AM

Just checked the weather for the weekend. Looks promising.

joshman (Josh) · #38 06-02-2008, 07:58 AM

well my fingers are crossed, i really wanna wreck my sleep pattern on something useful, instead of TV and surfing the net!

drmorbius (Randall) · #39 07-02-2008, 12:22 PM

After intense negotiations and relentless scheming, I have successfully rearranged my commitments and will be joining you on Saturday.

Save me a spot... preferably a dry spot... and no clouds please...

Xeelee (Chris) · #40 07-02-2008, 10:15 PM

I may not be coming after all as I have to a lot of work on an English assignment. It's typical because the more it looks like I won't be able to come, the better the weather gets!

Frustrating for me but not anyone else

Will still let you know if I'm coming.

Chris
