Astronomy supplies

[AdrianF]

Uncle Kevin was kind to us and let us have our Stimulus Package $$$, I thought what can I spend it on the first thing that popped into my head was of course Astronomy gear. Set the GPS to navigate to a popular supplier, who advertises on this forum, in Brisbane. Drove down overnight from Roma to find the B*&^%$#y shop dont/didnt open on Saturday:mad2:. Not very happy but I suppose I should have checked before I drove 600k.
Ah well phone call tomorrow to Andrews in Sydney.

Poor Adrian.
What were you looking at buying?

[AdrianF]

Laser, extension tubes amongst others. I was in Kilcoy yesterday around 3ish travelling to Kingaroy via Redcliffe and Cabulture taking a tour on the way back to Roma.

Ahhh.
If you knew you could have dropped in to the Kilcoy IGA and said hello.

[AdrianF]

I did go to IGA. But I didnt see anyone walking round with a telescope :rolleyes::rolleyes::whistle:

:lol: No, I don't generally carry one with me to work, interfers with serving the customers.
You can recognize me because I'm the one with Jeanette written on her name tag.:P

Just called York Optical about a laser pointer and asked about their opening time and was told that they do in fact open on saturdays 10 - 2 I was there at 9:30 I see the CLOSED sign and drove off.

Hey AdrianF, :)

I understand how that can have happened "I see the CLOSED sign and drove off. " They have a small sign that 'twists.' Closed or Open.

I practically haunt that place. I will have a chat with Matte, with a view to sorting out a better way.

It is not a good method he is using. I've been in there when some one phoned and asked why is the shop closed. Matte forgot to turn the sign around. :lol:
