Really sorry everyone. ( Thanks for the " young man " bit there Deeno).

Money is very tight and work is very slow, so I'll need to work while its available.
I am also having a long weekend away camping 2 weeks before it so I just cant take more time off.

I am really trying to introduce my Wife to camping for future weekends away, so I am taking her away with some friends at this time to make sure she enjoys it and wants to come away at other times.
I know all of you will miss the sound of my coffee grinder whirring away.
Not to mention my Rum induced mutterings....

See you all at another time for sure.

geoffro.

I'm sorry to miss the fun.

I'm getting ready for a visit from my 2 brothers from Switzerland (first visit to Oz) to travel up the Coast to the Whitsundays for 3 weeks

Have a lot of fun and clear skies

Yeah Mr Owl, we are going to miss your attendance this year being the last for two years. A long time between drinks at IISAC!
Also Mr Kombi can't make it, maybe next time he said.

Twin servos

Yes 0900 at the twin servos sounds good with a departure at 0930 sounds excellent (time for a Mocca yes)

Sorry to hear your going AWOL MR OWL: (you will of course need an excuse letter from a responsible adult to justify your absence
you will be missed, great to hear your coming Geoff, long time since i caught up with you (Have caught up with Judith @ work).

Now we possibly need to all chip in and pay some graft to 7timer to get it to change it's predictions! they look terrible!

If it is pouring on Thursday morning it will delay my departure from home. My mobile no is 0411438858, i will leave a message on this forum also

Looks to be overcast thursday morning, but no rain.
Actually looks encouraging for clear viewing Thursday night too.
current 7 timer
