Amazing how all this sneaks up! I'm not ready!

[Uplooker]

I know, I know.. I have not even started to cook up the sh*t meals to freeze and eat at the event. Not sure who is more stupid - me for cooking up tasteless rubbish or Damian for agreeing to eat it

[mapstar]

Ha ha 

That's what the Whiskey is for, I really didn't now they were that bad!

[Uplooker]

I'll do you a deal.I will cook up some more sh*te meals and you have to have you're scope ready - thats the big scope, not some borrowed thing!

I'm trying my best Ian, Mike best have the clear skies booked this time as I'm not taking my kayak or kite this time to keep myself entertained.

I bet it will be clear as the clouds will be staying around the south Shields area? 

[Physopto]

Thanks Damian

Sod.......

Think I might box them up after a rain dance and send by TNT.

[Demon Barber]

Ian, Damian,you know your always welcome to a good feed  at chez michel,i can cook for you if you would like  to supplement the  the store cupboard,don`t forget the marshmallows for the barbie,looking forward to to catching up with everyone,clouds are to be left at the border,anyone caught smuggling clouds will be sent home 

Regards

Mike

Ps your welcome too Dennis,but i know your always well prepared.

[Demon Barber]

Well just over a week to go,i have ordered the clear skies,honest!

Spoke to Lesley (campsite) at lunchtime to-day,plenty of rain no snow and the field is draining well,so hopefully no drama`s.

Still pitches to spare and if it is good weather at this time of the year the skies can be stunning.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone,any queries just ask away.

Safe journey to all

Regards

Mike

I'm nearly ready.

Have you got any more of that elasticated cord and plastic ends Mike for the scope cover as I've used the other when mother dearest completed the shroud. 

Secondary still to sort though ?

[Demon Barber]

Yes Damian, i will put them in the box of gear,loads so no worries,i`ve got everything crossed for your secondary,how did your mam`s  attempt at the shroud turnout?

Mike

[Physopto]

Get your skates on Damian.  ?

Well since I cannot get there, I wish you all well. Just hope the weather improves and you get clear skies.

If not, just blame Mike. ?

Then go eat all his food. ?

Derek

 

 

[Demon Barber]

Damian, you were right about two seams on me shroud,

Mike

[Demon Barber]

Derek your bored again !

Mike

[mapstar]

Great stuff Mike I'll sort you out for it

She didn't do bad for a first attempt, may have to put some elasticated cord top to bottom opposite to the truss poles to give it extra support.

Had to get a large utility tent to fit the big bucket in!

 

 

[Demon Barber]

I`ve got two thickness`s so will bring them both.

[Physopto]

Don't care..........

[Demon Barber]

Mike

I`M going to bed i`m dizzy

[mapstar]

Seriously though shame you're going to miss it Derek and hopefully this wind will have gone by next week or the whole thing will stay in my car again!

It is only 172 hours (and counting down) until I arrive on site I am so looking forward to the sun drenched days, solar observing / imaging and the crisp, clear, frosty nights observing / imaging

Not forgetting meeting up with the regular and not so regular faces

[Physopto]

What no minutes and seconds in the count? So then not that committed

Is there any chance of you smuggling in some proper stuff, from Yorkshire’s “Rhubarb Triangle”, then we can persuade the Custard Juggler ( aka Mike) to make us a real crumble?
