1.30 Am

It's 1.30AM here, my girlfriend just went to bed (can't be with her ). So, what do you guys do around 1.30AM when you're not outside with the scope.

I'm enjoying a nice belgian beer (Jupiler) with music.

I do the same...Bit of music and a cold beer.....

I often lie on the sofa and watch cable tv...ESPN and FOX sports....Lately the cricket has been on... I can't get the remote out of my wife or kids hands until they go to bed...After midnight is 'My time'.

The last few nights Ive been on the computer editing digital footage Ive taken over the last few months and making my own DVD's....

Frustrating stuff but worth the effort...

I think I prefer the beer to bed, getting a bit long in the tooth for the horizontal jogging all night.

I'm starting a new job in August on afternoon shift (3:30pm - midnight or so), so I'll be downing my first beer at about 1:30am and watching plenty of pay TV, that is if I'm not out looking through the telescope.

If I could only sleep...

From what I've been reading it might be cheaper to buy a fully equiped 100 inch telescope complete with observatory and secluded mountain!

I'll rephrase then. I need a rich girlfriend.
