Equipment Junkie

I found this summary of Kirk Roger's AP equipment purchases over a decade amusing and also a bit scary...I've already spent too much!

We are all sick people / equipment junkies....

Since taking my first peek through my first telescope - it was the 6th of December 2011 - I now retain 6 scopes in the arsenal, scopes # 32 to #37 inclusive

I have been given an ultimatum by the Finance Manager.....
Though I did manage to sneak a TSA120 into the house on Saturday.....
I now find that I have to pay for it by clearing out the excess floating in the cupboards..... It is amazing how astro stuff collects in drawers and cabinets....
Maybe it breeds....
