Nearly



Yes



From you who kept us in suspenders for months.



If it had been the other way Leon I would have been at the solicitors then the travel agent booking a ticket to anywhere.
Although I do have a grandaughter expected in September. Isn't it terrible we already know what sex and even the name of the poor little thing.

The new Bub arrived on time and seems to be fit and well. 7Kg not a bad weight. The stork even brought a new high chair for me to use in the caravan.


Cut the crap Doug...... It's a gleaming new TSA120 Triplet APO. I also ordered a neat little Ioptron Mini Tower to use in the caravan. The G11 is just to big and HRH would winge and moan to much if I took it with me.
I chose the TSA based on weight alone. I would have purchased the TSA but it was near double the weight and cost.... I just couldn't justify the expense at this time. Maybe further down the track when I can afford a new mount as well.

Attached is a few photos of the new stuff and as expected it is thick cloud so not even a star test tonight then I'm back at work for the next five days/nights.

The packaging is normal Tak packaging of triple boxing and lots of foam.

Woot woot!
You'll have to tell us your opinion of the MT once you've got it up and running.
Did it come in an aluminium box??
