If anything the lack of astro (lugging the scope, battery and CW's out each night) due to cloud has put on the kg's.

I do like the sound of this, Rick! (And Mike too, for that matter). Going to bed and leaving things running is about where I'm at these days, and it's a good way to get lots of data. But I enjoy much more the sitting out with either a visual scope or bins, sweeping the sky while the imaging set up does its thing. Mozzies have absolutely stuffed that for me though, and I can see it being a cooler weather activity.
And I do appreciate the humour here, but as strange or laughable as it may be, my post was a serious one. Yeah, we all enjoy good food and drink, sometimes/often to excess, but my realisation was a shocking one: eat what you usually eat, drink what you usually drink, stay up later more often, you will chuck on weight and increase your risk of serious illness while also probably hindering your ability to kick arse in other aspects of life.
I thought that message was a good one to get out
