Looks good. I'll have to start working up some hours to make up for it.

I'm up for an early morning run. It looks like the wind direction will turn ugly by late morning anyway.

The Geelong forecast is vastly different... SW winds at Dawn... Hopefully you finish before the wind change.

Looks like it's off now..

6.10am and the wind just went southwest.... Bummer.

At least we weren't half way through the run.

Now some hail and storms for you DJ.

It's been sunny down here, with light variable winds, and mild seabreeze at about 2pm, and now it's just light variable winds and sunny... and ^ that is the prediction in Melbourne. What a contrast !!

I took the day off from paddling and got out for a ride on my motorbike.. and got back just moments before the storm.. What great timimg.. That was quite a storm with constant lightning and thunder.. I was under the carport tin roof the whole time of the storm drilling holes and painting stipes on my 14' Jav.. I love a good storm.
