Hi

I already had a say on this thread. I don't need to work any more.
The government keeps me in clover with more money than I need so I went out and bought a Meade 16" Lightbridge to take to the SPSP yesterday. That's the fourth scope I have bought in the last 12 months. I just love spending money on my toys!

Barry

Absolutely unreal You're totally revered by metal heads all over the place!

Much cross over between your work and ATM tinkering?

Thank you, but it's only mega hard work.
And yes, I have been tinkering with ATM since I ground my own 4" mirror in the early 70's.
I am a hands on type of guy, I also was a pro guitarist for 21 years (google youtube "little red rooster ulbrick", a bit of fun really.

Yeah, retirement is great. I have been retired since July 2017. (Its best to retire in the early part of the Financial Year as retiring later is not tax effective.)

My last 12 years were spent in the Finance & Administration of an NGO that helped connect kids with drug, alcohol and other issues back towards mainstream society.
