Hi Steve,
Bob's on his way and I'll be joining tomorrow (dang work schedules).
Looks like
you guys will get a 8 of 10 tonight. However, I'm willing to bet that
the
winner tomorrow night will get 15 of 110 objects. Skippy Sky and
Weather
Underground both agree that the airstrip will see 60% to 80% clouds
from 6PM
through 2AM increasing to 100% after 2AM... Grrr!
Somebody must've bought a new tube for the event :-)
