Hi Tony, good to see you post again. Hope things are working out for you as much as possible.

There's plenty of folk looking forward to your 'full' return, but in the meantime drop a post now and again and let us know you're ok.

Take care...

Steve

Hi Tony

Great to hear from you. We’ve been saving up the pelican photos.

Here's one I took on my wife's birthday, at Currumbin.

Cheers

Dennis

Nice the hear from you Tony. I have been wandering out to Mark's a bit recently - let me know if you are keen for a tag along - even if it is just to do some visual astronomy ... don't worry - I'll remind you what it is

Hello Mr Striker,

it has been a real long time. That stainless steel pier must be rusting by now. Have you moved house yet? Changed jobs? Would be interested in seeing what your new hobby is now?

g'day Tony, we've missed your presence, although Striker-Mart has been replaced by Lo-Mart. Eric (ezystyles) is trying as much as possible to emulate your past performance by rapidly mastering the technology then onselling...

We all look forward to your return.

Good to hear from you again Tony!
I've had a bit of a hiatus (changed jobs/moved) but with a new G11 and QHY5 guide camera (in the new observatory) I'll be putting that 20Da through its paces soon!
cheers

Hey guys..

Sorry i havent been around for ages aswell.. Just a lot has happened in the past twelve months.

split up with my partner of 6 yrs.. nearly a year ago... got a job as a desktop support person (IT Stuff), moved from Rocky to brissy... now got a perm job with the company i work for doing desktop support.. (LOVING MY JOB)... and about 8 months ago i bought a Motorbike!

Currently riding a suzuki GS500F, however in Jan i came off.. broke my little finger, which is still recovering... badly bruised my knee, which is still recovering aswell... with some slightly torn ligaments too i dare say...

Tony - your old baby is still up in rocky.. Ill have to get it down to brissy one day!...

I havent really been too much into the astro side latley, mainly due to the fact that im just loving my bike too much atm!.. Seeing im up at 7am on weekends to ride.. normally means i go to bed earlyish at nights.. which obstructs my viewing time!... cant win em all... However i am finding some awesome spots around bris that i could take my scope out too tho!

Hopefully i can catch up with some of u at Barumbah. I got to register.. will do it in th enext few days!...

talk to ya all soon..

Rowena..

Ok firstly back off on the Pelican shots I will only warn you once....lol

Thanks for the Hello's.

I am still living at my same house in Brisbane and will be for some time now.
Same Job a little bit more buzy then it use to be so I have to do some work now but only some...hehehe

I am happy for Eric to take my spot on the Buy & Sell thread...well done Eric.

Family is good but my wife had a bit of a scare with her Heart but ended up being anxiety.

Went on a Cruise for 9 nights and got sea sick.

Had to put my dog down named "Bo" I had for 13 years of old age and now have this white fluff ball called Molly (Bichon Frise) I love my Toy dogs.

My wife is right into Pandora bracelets so we have been selling bracelets and charms on Ebay check out my listings...hahaha a bit of advertising...lol
http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZmobstriker

And guess what I just become Power Seller status on Ebay...I bet that doesn't surprise anyone...lol

Still have our Marine fish all so been riding my pushy and kayaking.

My 14 week old baby.
