Bummer about the clouds rolling in and stopping play. Hopefully they will roll away again and we can all get back to imaging and observing.

Honestly they must have come over as soon as I came in as I just threw out 70...however its clear again and getting something.
The boot polish is for lubrication... It is a secret so dont tell anyone...a member here shared the idea...I am trying to head off getting two things stuck.
Alex
