Hey Houghy! Off to pick up that nagler you bought in person rather than risking damage in the mail huh?? Just joking mate!

Have a good holiday, & see ya when you get back!

Have a great time Houghy.

You are going to hate going through all the 'New Posts' when you get back. I know how they pile up after being offline for just 1 day.

Enjoy yourself. Can you remember what your wife looks like in case you get seperated while playing tourist!

Mick (Michael) · #4 30-09-2005, 03:19 PM

See ya when you get back Houghy.

See ya mate - you know she will hit you on the head with your Intes don't you!

Why would you non-astro holiday during a new moon!

ving (David) · #12 01-10-2005, 09:50 AM

have a good one

oh, and prepare to have the intes inserted up you rectum when she finds out

h0ughy (David) · #13 04-10-2005, 12:17 PM

Well i'm back,

and i tried to have a good time, but with it being so perfectly clear I had to wait well and truely until they were completely asleep and sneek out with the Intes. to put is bluntly it is absolutely supurb!!!!!!!

I am extremely pleased with the scope. I was able to view mars quite clearly and at times totally make out dark markings and I thought last night I could see a blue tinge to the north polar area. It is a fantastic pick up and go scope. Paul I am using your finderscope on it. it is great! i might end up taking it to get he cross hair removed where they cross to show the object in the centre of the crosshairs. I am so amazed as to how the scope performed in a light polluted caravan park. It is very contrasty, beter than the 12Sct in that department.

i just stuck the scope on my camera tripod.

then she cottoned on to my nocternal activities, boy was my name mud

. The axe almost came out on Sunday night. But I passified her by saying I will cook and washup

. Sort of worked, that and a couple of glasses of sparkling red

davidpretorius · #14 04-10-2005, 12:20 PM

sorry mate, but we have bought all the available naglers while you were away, just in case you wanted them.

Mick pinner has a little treasure chest for you, see if you can find the thread.

Have you got a piccie of the pack and go and get in the poop scope

No she didn't hit me, I already have 4 stitches to get taken out tomorrow from a skin cancer that was removed last wednesday, so she knows I already have too many scars.

Although she has threatened several times to put the axe through the corrector plate of the 12"

Houghy, may I recommend the Halifax Caravan park. It's a nice place and lots of pelicans too!!!

Beware though, they eat kids and nagging women.

Don't forget to take some pics of the lovely Pelicans and your boat on the water.
If you do go to Halifax caravan park and see the pelicans you will only have me to thank!

Have a great time. Don't forget to sneak out at night with the scope!
