Look things really are not that bad for me I just tend to make things sound worse than they really are..the cancer has been taxing but its nothing really..when you finish the current book you are reading have a look at my thread in the DIY Observatories titled "New Observatory" which gives you a full account of my ups and downs...ups equals a great new observatory with four scopes and dedicated cameras etc...three narrow band units and one OSC ... All controlled from my mobil phone and a nice toy car ( mazda mx5) all purchased as a response to finding that I had thiroid cancer ( representing the downs) and finally I realised that life is finite and that I cant " take it with me"...so I decided to spend a little on some toys...
I like to think of myself as the luckiest man on the planet mainly because I really am the luckiest man on the planet.
Never put off until tomorrow something that you can do this afternoon.

Yes mate, somehow, I'm still kicking, it really is a mystery
So really sorry to hear about the cancer, it can be beaten of course or at least delayed somewhat and you're just the bloke to do that. All your new toys sound cool. I love how you found the missing piece the day the new one turned up, they *ort (is ort a word?), anyway they ort to name a law about that and not Murphie Murphy Murph whatever.
Spelling is so hard, it's got to do with letters and words.
Anyway, you will never be forgotten for the adventure we shared back in the day. It all started with you and every great adventure needs a start. I'm organizing the purchase of a new telescope and no doubt I'll be looking to you for guidance, seeing I have forgotten absolutely everything I ever knew, except that up, was sort of that way

the direction my eyes are pointing to.
One last observation, you sure as heck put some distance between us in posts, I remember I was neck and neck with you but now, you are freerolling to eternal IIS glory. Well done buddy
Regards
* I couldn't help myself, it was bugging me, it's spelt ought - gosh dang it!!! I hope that question comes up on Eddy on Ch 9
