Thank you all so very much.
I am trying not to panic it is hard to look at the number and see myself as that age....old age is nothing like I thought it would be...I thought old people were slow I think its just, well for me you a super calm and stuff doesnt bother you.
I still have plans to sail around the world at 75 solo but I have no intention but it should help doby and mind rally.
Had a great day just played photos.
And now very happy with 8 inch camera and even the mount.
A terrible solution with the mount I drove those gears so tight the thing doesnt like to slew but I find tsrgets manually so no problem in that sense...but tracking seems to work well ...better really...but I know the gears are probably to tight...but it works.
Need to test guide cam now that I am back and get set up for moving it around...
Get ready for the van and a trip to Chille.
Thanks again everyone.

Happy birthday!! And wishing you many more to come.
Where I work 71 isn't all that old. It's about the age where management start to ask academics whether they are really intending to ever retire. [Generally they do, and then get an honorary position so they can continue their research without having to worry about undergrad students.]
