Title: Damn!!
Post by: Eddy Matthews on October 06, 2008, 08:55:09 AM
I looked at the weather forecast for today, yesterday, sunny but with strong and gusty winds.....

My Marchiones of Lorne is still at the club since our paddler day, with fully charged drive batteries...... Bugger, no point in charging my Tx I thought as it won't be the weather to sail her in...... So Tx with flat batteries, and I arived at the club this morning to find a glorious day with only the gentlest of breezes :(

So no sailing yet again for me!!

From now on I'm going to ignore the forecast - I could do a better forecast with a bit of damp seaweed!!

I agree Hans - You have good days at the pond and you have bad days, this was one of the bad days :(

But always remember, even a bad day at the pond is better than a good day at work!!  :yeahbaby

Eddy,
        I know the feeling only to well. After some really lousy weather I ignored the forecasts and headed to the lake with my Revell Corvette and my Captain Sturt Sternwheeler. The corvette went really well till I snapped a silicon tube universal, I will replace this one day with a real one, so I get the Sturt out of the car only to discover I left the 12v battery on the charging bench. grrrrrrrr!
