Whoa Marty!! ... you had a busy day - and THEN you cooked!!!? I'm sure SHMBO was suitably pleased!! Looks like you finished off in style too. Next time though START your evening with a few duck farts!! OR a sweet margarita if you want stopping power:
Serving for two ... or one person twice. In an ice filled shaker ...
240ml Tequilla
80ml Lime juice
40ml Triple Sec
40ml Cointreau
40ml Grand Mariner
Yep, thats over 1/3 litre of unadulterated liquor Serve in a salt rimmed glass (a large one). For best effect, have two <hic>
Hey, what else can an astronomer do when there's a full moon??
I'm off the Mudgee in now 12 days time for the (Sutherland Astronomical Society only) Mudgee Star Party over 5 days. So, I've got preparations to make, mirrors to wash, telescope to tidy up, observing lists to finalise and all sorts of other things.
This year I've got new digs up at Mudgee -- an old caravan that has just been nicely renovated for myself and my best mate Gary (we always observe and room together). It sleeps 3 has a working fridge, stove etc etc and good beds and is in a shady spot. So there are a few things that will make the journey up this year and stay for future use like crockery, cutlery, spare food, cooking utensils etc etc -- you know the sort of stuff.
I'm also giving a talk on the Saturday this year so I gotta get that all tidied-up and ready to roll too!
I love preparing to go to a star-party and all the planning and sense of anticipation that goes with it -- there's nothing worse than turning up to find that something like the eyepieces or some other vital bit is 350km away ... at home.
So, I'm makin' a list and checkin' it twice ...
Unpacking after a star party on the other hand is dismal ... particularly if you didn't get much/any observing done because of weather.
You're obviously a person with refinement, good taste & class ... just like me. Wait a minute ...... I like drinking Duck Farts - partly because they're called Duck Farts! Oh well better add uncouth to my list of attributes

PS: Forget about astro-imaging after a few drinks. For some reason the equipment never seems to work properly!!

Did you say bruises??!! Check out the morning after the morning after shot (hope you're not eating) of the shiner I gave myself after walking (at a full pace) into a post on a moonless night on my way to bed after a clouded out session. For some inexplicable reason I thought I could see in the dark without my headlight. Anyway, the post jumped out and struck me on the brow ridge above my left eye near the bridge of my nose .... ooooooooouch!!!

You should mix the cosmo with a bottle of Vodka Crusier black (the clear one), that way you'll have a tasty beverage AND you'll get wasted in no time
