G8 thanks for firing this one up
No blown bladders at pump up this time.
BTW UOath is the one who miss read the "Make Like A Toyota" Ad queue
Advice - if U can't stay dry - cut some serious holes in your extra kit they are water traps!!

What TO'ver says.. if U look at today's forecast
The seabreeze gives a kick when 26-27C and up. Today was fairly cloudy which lowers the effect so 1-3 would have been ok - but the guts of Sunday do look a bit forecast tragic.
FWIW Santa can zoom on for 12 days after XMAS if I am not mistaken and hey a good d-winder and a refresher at the end is right by me most anytime - so remove the 25th
cheers

I suggest uber for santa delivery If today was anything to go by.
Just had an itch which needed scratching??.
I also need a new Wip .. flogged it .. 3 knock downs .. one went the full count and then some B4 getting up.. slay went missing for 15 minutes..Then a mad dash back to base.. would have missed heaps of suburbs.

I am off to the dollar shop thx 4 the tip

Wind permitting, in Yaroomba there's a park at the end of
Warragah Parade (good spot to meet/setup - bus stop near by ect).

Got there late, but caught up to the second 'group', and went through to Cotton Tree. It turned out to be a beautiful day for a downwinder. Thanks for setting it up Underoath.
