Awfully quietly...

Awfully quietly...

Post by Airconvent »

Most of the hardcore regulars here are in Mersing right now trying out CC's 12.5" "curry pot" portaball....heh heh
That's why it has been so quiet tonight.
Its very cloudy here but latest report from onsite indicates clear skies with some high altitude clouds...they MUST really be taking in the breathtaking views of the 12.5" zambuto mirror! sigh....

Ah...that is why there is only one new post when I log in since this afternoon, and it's yours.

The sky in Penang is clearing up, especially in the west. Too bad, I am too tired to do observation.

Yes, if not for the fact that I was overseas, I would join them too!

Airconvent, are you in SMS/phone contact with any of them? Seems unusual that no one said anything about the curry pot or what good/bad skies they had ... :)
Unless they're doing it on purpose .. HAHAHA
