Astronomy supplies

Uncle Kevin was kind to us and let us have our Stimulus Package $$$, I thought what can I spend it on the first thing that popped into my head was of course Astronomy gear. Set the GPS to navigate to a popular supplier, who advertises on this forum, in Brisbane. Drove down overnight from Roma to find the B*&^%$#y shop dont/didnt open on Saturday. Not very happy but I suppose I should have checked before I drove 600k.
Ah well phone call tomorrow to Andrews in Sydney.

Laser, extension tubes amongst others. I was in Kilcoy yesterday around 3ish travelling to Kingaroy via Redcliffe and Cabulture taking a tour on the way back to Roma.

No, I don't generally carry one with me to work, interfers with serving the customers.
You can recognize me because I'm the one with Jeanette written on her name tag.

To be Rectified

Hey AdrianF,

I understand how that can have happened "I see the CLOSED sign and drove off. " They have a small sign that 'twists.' Closed or Open.

I practically haunt that place. I will have a chat with Matte, with a view to sorting out a better way.

It is not a good method he is using. I've been in there when some one phoned and asked why is the shop closed. Matte forgot to turn the sign around.

Cheers Marty
