how will I ever survive - 1 weeks holiday with the wife and kids

OK going tomorrow for a whole week with the family on what will be an enjoyable trip doing nothing - no Internet either

take care - no posting specials while I am gone, no new comet discoveries - no sun spot images or deepsky photo's. I will miss the site - oh to have wireless broadband.............

Houghy, it sounds like your having withdrawals and you haven't even left yet.

Have a great holiday though.

Cheers

Have a fun time, Houghy. You'll survive with the family and no internet for a week.

BTW, there IS a sunspot about to rear it's head

I hope you have a nice time...remember, deep breaths, keep your eyes forward and one foot in front of the other and one day at a time...that is how you will survive.

Good Luck!

Cya Dave enjoy yourselves, I can sympathise, but spending quality time with your kids and good wife can't be all bad. We moderators will ensure that no one tarnishes your squeaky clean reputation while you're away.

I just spent a week away with the missus and kids, and her mum . No internet, lovely clear skies and no imaging gear (did take the 80mm scope, a light tripod and the 80 binos). This machine spat the dummy just before we left (faulty power supply) and just got it temporarily fixed, and here I am logging on to IIS as the first port of call. Its not an addiction love, honest

Bill
