it's my birthday in 2 days' time...

Thinking of getting a WO 0.8x focal reducer v3. Please PM me and I'll give you the address to send it to. That is all. Awesome, thanks.

I don't understand why you are laughing at me.

If you can't afford to send me the reducer, I'm also accepting this 8x50 finderscope. Make sure you ask for the SkyWatcher bracket so I can fit it on my ED80.

Don't forget to PM me for my address so I can coordinate who buys what. Trying to avoid double-ups on the gifts and all that. Might happen if I post my address here in the open forum. Thanks.

Look - I'm getting a little concerned with the lack of PM's I'm getting. If I don't hear from you today, you run the risk of not getting to the store in time and even if you express courier it, I won't receive your gift in the morning. I usually like to open presents before I go to work. That'd be awesome. Thanks.

You should have set up a gift registry at Bintel?

I don't understand it. I was told what a great community IIS is, and noone is taking me seriously...




I'm just a happy little camper, aren't I?

Your gifts haven't arrived yet. I checked the mail before leaving for work and nothing. I'm very disappointed IIS community...

Cheers. Suppose there's no point having new gear without the clear skies, so that's a great present. Thanks! According to current weather reports your present should arrive next Monday or Tuesday night.
