Sort of a New Scope Curse

Well my new pair of binos arrived today (15x70) at work. The good thing about small country towns is the postie knows where you work so just drops it here anyway, even though addressed to home!
Anyways, as soon as I opened the box, down came the rain.

The one that got me was when I was waiting on the delivery on an ED80 that I had bought from another IISer. It was the best scope I had had so far. Looking out my front window waiting for the delivery guy I could see some showers approaching in the distance - then sure enough the Australia Post contractor turns into our street. The first sprinkles of rain fell on the box as I was signing for it....can't get any clearer than that.
