you know your cover is blown when...
Well my wife was talking to a colleague today in their common room during lunch. This colleague then blurts out the fact she saw an image on NBN last Friday and asked my wife if it was me who took the image. She said it was and then started to say that she had read all about me and the stuff I had - to my wife's horror. Ignorance is bliss but there is a IIS member out there who's wife works in the same school as mine and has now forever tainted me (well thats not too hard). Yes she is still talking to me............ 
the world is getting to small. OK so who was it??? Come on fess up, has to be someone out there local to me.........

It is always easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission...
Good Luck!

There's always the excuse that it's too late to send it back now. If your expelled to the doghouse then it's a good excuse for more imaging/observing.

well on a lighter note i fixed my motor stall on the g11. i used 15V instead of the 13.8 - worked also slowed slew to 500.
should have done that at duckadang - i had it there, the transformer and i should have tried it. it slews a 10" SCT and 14kg weights
and a few bits and pieces.
opps but i don't own a losmandy do I
