Excellent...

You can head out to the backyard and watch a GRS transit just about directly overhead right before the game.

Well, the Dragons didn't win for me, but it was great watching them play so well. I enjoyed the game.

Today was a terrific birthday for me. All my kids and grandson were here, great food, great game, great prezzies!

Thanks all for your birthday wishes. They mean a lot!

Prezzies: Video of Star Trek Original Series 'The Cage', Video of Star Trek Original Series 'The Menagerie Pats 1 & 2', NSW 'Blues' Rugby League Shirt, Chocolates!!!

All things that I wanted

I just recieved a Birthday Prezzie in the mail from Laurie (RAJAH)

It is 'The Night Sky' Large-size double-sided Planisphere!!!

The one tool I should have had over the last 22 years of observing but never had!
It is the top quality high-precision plastic one.

I tips me hat to ya Laurie, and thank you very much. Now I have no excuse for not using a map when observing. Pretty hard to look from the lappy to the sky and keep orientation, let alone dark adaption.

Now I can learn my constellations and where things are!!!

Thank you very much Laurie

Sorry I missed your birthday Ken. I and around 300 other unfortunate souls were crammed into a big flying metal tube for most of it. I'm glad you had a good one.
