I will auction off my slice with a starting bid of $20
Can't wait for the camp. Jsut got my EQ6 back from Martin yesterday, but too cloudy to set up. It looked the part when I set it up though.

Oh, I've heard it, and she no longer sounds like a coffee grinder, just sweet sweet semi-silent slewing

Work intervened. Can't make it Saturday, will try for Sunday. Please cancel me out of the feast - that's more for everyone else.

Sacrificed for good weather

Hello.

Well I have Sacrificed a few things to appease the gods of weather and swell namely "Huey" for the Snake Valley Astro Camp.

If your a surfer you will know him quite well.

A fickle Swell and Weather god but once he or she are appeased you are rewarded with perfect conditions.

Anyway the sacrifices made are

1: Stop drinking beer until the Astro camp ( again if your a surfer you now how hard that is)
2: No Macca,s until the astro camp.
3: I do everything my wife tells me to do around the house without complaint.

If that doesn't work I am dusting off the old longboard and go surfing more often

Regards Paul.

I have a track record of bringing rain to both the SV camp and the ASV camp, I don't want a trifecta
Bo
PS: Jen, Ryan wants to know what toys Drew will take. He will take his $20 kmart radio controlled car so I won't miss it if it crashes into the lake
