Grats and good luck with all the highs and lows of upgrading, designing, planning, building and repairs to come. Keep the updates flowing.

Ha! Thanks Steve ...indeed, plenty ahead for yours truly. For now at least, Im just enjoying the emotions of coming to terms with exactly what I have...heck, all those drives home over the last 20 years, from Wiruna and the SPSP, tired but very satisfied after 3 days of great conditions under truly dark skies and observing with 300 other like minded people, thinking about and imagining every property that I passed along the way was mine .....are bloody well now real but EVEN better, beyond even those wildest of dreams..incredible

Mike
