One factor you left out is that we have not a month without an update. Since this is the last weekend in the month and as you say they generally do come out on a Friday it will surely be tonight or tomorrow. Personally I am hoping for tonight because I will be out of town over the weekend and I am not sure if I will be able to use my phone as a hotspot to get internet access. It works here but not sure of the signal where I am going. Hope it works or I am going to have some crops go to waste while I am gone... Plus I got to get my new field and updates....
