Sam - Just FYI, on Skippy you also need to look at the transparency which shows only 50 - 60%. Probably the right call to cancel. Sorry I couldn't be more active through the afternoon.

Terri, 7 of our 8 weather forecasting sites show too cloudy to have the star party. But Skippy Sky says clear. I will not be driving that far to attend when the forecasters show such bad skies (25-50% cloud cover). However, if other people want to keep the star party on and they will attend, because the sky overhead isn't looking too bad right not, that is ok too.

Don, what are the different sites showing? After this event is done, the weather watching list serv will be used for these discussions, but for today, let's finish out our discussion about today's event and then we will use the designated list serv for conversations about weather. And if anyone wants to get on that list serv just for knowing what the weather discussion is going to be, let me know and i'll invite you. The main Star tours group should be on it, so we don't bother the rest of the members with the weather for events. its not just for the weather watchers, but anyone monitoring the weather for our events. just to keep the info off the main list serv for the club. So, if you aren't a PAStimes Star Tour member and you want to be on the weather discussion list, let me know and i'll get an invite sent to you. the star tours group will get the invite probably tomorrow. i'm exhausted right now.

Now that I have seen those we might want to cancel. I don't think we will get much rain but we might get some from those northern clouds.

Don, what you do see coming up from the South? This is what the weather forecasters were telling me this morning,, all is good until evening when the clouds and isolated thunderstorms could happen. That's why we need to know what we are doing... and Howard, needs an answer, and i need one to know what i'm doing. Wiliam is picking up the Sonic from the shop. We are returning the Monster Truck, kept it almost 2 weeks for the 2 recall issues on the Sonic. Mike is vehicle-less and hitching a ride from Ofelia tonight. What is the call? On or off? I will leave it up to the team. Just go with what the majority of the weather sites tell us... too cloudy or possible rain, we cancel. clear, and we have it. I await your input. My weather station still says rain today. i know the rain hasn't gotten here yet, I've been monitoring outside, but if rain is coming our way, we should cancel. -- Good friends are like stars.
