Count me in for Saturday.
Both Friday night and Sunday are looking clear too so that
should shorten the odds for a good Saturday.

Greg.

Guess who is in meetings all weekend.

ps. Allan, see attached. It has cleaned up just fine. I just need to fit some non-slip aluminium sheeting to the bottom of the tray and it's done.

Rick, Rick, Buddy!
you've got the timing all wrong!
Holiday during FULL Moon; Telescoping during NEW Moon!
What were you thinking?

Jo and I are just back from two weeks touring western Victoria and Central NSW. Where are you heading?
Be careful! The flow on effect of the recent rain is still causing trouble with roads cut and communities still recovering. Amazing how slow those Flood waters move, yet how devastating they can be.

Have a nice trip, and Be safe

Thanks Al, yeah bad timing...we are taking the van and going up to the Gold Coast to catch up to some relo's. Just generally taking it easy.
Geoff(inmykombi) and I had a great night earlier in the week and got some good sky and fantastic seeing here at home so I guess I had a bit of a fix that will ease some pain. Catch ya.

So how many starters do we have for tonight?

I plan on getting there around 7:30 plus or minus half an hour (we have the kids visiting so I can't rush out too early )

But I am not planning an all nighter.
12 midnight should be about enough for me (as I am basically scopeless nowadays).
[anyone coming with a 12 DOB for sale, may have a buyer]

Greg, are you coming tonight? I'll bring your book.
