Nealpar raises certainly a critical point. We have to decide when to play. Really, that's a good part of the secret game. Rewards to those who pick right, and frustration for those that don't. No question, a true dilemma with today's gas prices.

Yes as a matter of fact. But it just cost me $100 to fill up my car yesterday. That really hurt. Historically speaking this was a 95% call. A building heat wave is usually a sure bet.

My forecasting days are over. (for now)

Laci, how did you like the new sup?

It costs me about $8.00 in gas per Leo session. This has figured into my equation this past year whenever I'm pondering the trip down to the coast.
mkrasnoff and I once talked about carpooling down there but with the equipment situation, 2 boards apiece, 8 sails combined, 4 masts, etc., it makes it difficult. The up side is that we generally agree on conditions that will prompt a go-out. I've got a Thule rack that I can easily put on the car to take the boards. It's doable, and may indeed be done. Money, time, and convenience compromising, will tell.

stevenbard: No worries on the prediction front. We all know that such utterings, no matter who makes (or perhaps breaks) them are at best, "educated gasses".
