It's so ingrained in me Rick, it just comes out naturally.
He won't mind (I hope).

Don't make the mistake Erick made with his "dry run."

It is Saturday night, not Friday night ...

All of a sudden 7timer is looking the goods again, getting closer to the night.
Hope it's right.
Hoping to get there around 5ish

Now I know why they call it 7timer!
The forecast changes at least 7 times a day.

That sounds like an each way bet to me.
Looking at the satellite loop on BOM it appears to me that the cloud streaming down from the northwest is however generally moving eastward and to me it looks like it will start to head out to sea and clear up from the west this afternoon. It seems good west of the cloudband.
Having said that I am still going up, because how many times has the Owl said 'it will clear', and it does.
If it's late, I guess we just wait.( poetic eh)
